BI Publisher 11g Weblogic Shows Publisher is Down?

Content

Recently in my organization there has been interest in using BI Publisher in addition to our current OBIEE installation.

I can see that when it was first installed that our QA and PROD enviroments both seem to be working and are up.

But when I try to log in to our DEV enviroment I get a dead URL.

I took a look in weblogic, and I see that BI Publisher is "down".

I have tried restarting a few times but it does not seem to be coming back up.

Speaking to some other team mates, since it was never used we can not tell if maybe at some point it was "undeployed".

I assume it was installed with our intiail installatiion since I see that something exists there for it, so logically I assume it was some how removed or something else happened.

Can I just "redeploy" BI Publisher some how?

Is there anything else I can look at to bring this service back up?

Also, I was wondering in a case like this - its pretty much a "disaster".

I was wondering if other people have a similar disaster where the tool is not back up and running, how do they recover from it?

Is there a certain folder for BI publisher that I can just back up, and if something happens just restore to this back up folder?

Sorry for all the questions as BI publisher is a bit of a new beast to me.
