Managed bi_server1 in RUNNING state in console, not in log

Question

I have a weird problem - the bi_server1 is actually started and I can log into OBIEE and do everything in OBIEE. In EM and Console, I can see that the server is in RUNNING state and all is good. However, in the bi_server1.out log file, it never gets logged that the server is now in RUNNING state. The only state that shows up in the bi_server1 log is STARTING. The server start-up scripts I use check for 'RUNNING' in the log file before starting the next service and since it never appears in bi_server1.out, my script will timeout and never finish starting up the rest of the components.

Has anyone seen the issue where the server state is not reflected in the log file? I'm running 11.1.1.9.

Thanks.

How are you starting your weblogic servers? node manager or startManagedServer script?

I do agree with Rampradeep, despite of this, check with the ls -ltr to check the you have the right privilege to write in your bi server 1.log?

Hi Joe,

We have to see the script used so that we can see where the log is getting recorded. Can you post it here or share the start script.

Thanks,
