Error Handling While Restarting OBIEE 11g Components

You may get different kind of error while restarting the BI components. Some of the common errors I will discuss here today.

Error 1:

Error Syntax:

                        Weblogic.manaement.managementException: Unable to obtain lock on /path......../AdminServer.Lok. Server may already be running

Cause:

If AdminServer.Lok file exists then it will cause an issue while restarting the Weblogic Domain and if AdminServer.lok file exists then it will cause an issue while restarting the Managed Server. You will get the files in below path:

è OBIEEFolder/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/AdminServer/tmp

è OBIEEFolder/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/bi_server1/tmp

Solution:

Simply delete these files and execute the run script again, the errors will go away.

Error 2:

Error Syntax:

When you are running these starting scripts in the background as indicated in Step A and C, the system prompts you to enter the username, when you do so, you end up getting 'weblogic: comment not found' and the system doesn't get started. And sometime you may get authentication error too.

Cause:

boot.properties file is not available in the below mentioned path:

è OBIEEFolder/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/AdminServer/ security

è OBIEEFolder/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/bi_server1/ security

Solution:

            Either you can create a new boot.properties file or same can be copied from the below location:

           

è OBIEEFolder//user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domains/servers/bi_server1/data/nodemanager

Place the boot.properties file to the above mentioned two locations.
