Hi Experts,

We are having problem with starting up the services. Admin Server, OBIS and other services are getting started, but the bi_server1(managed server) is starting in Admin mode. We are having this issue after migrating a new rpd. Rpd didn't get uploaded and got an error saying 'Metadata lock couldn't acquired'. So we tried stopped services and restarted. Finally bi_server1 started in Admin mode.

Any insights on this would be appreciate.

Thanks

    Hi

    Unfortunately this is one of those you will have to deeply interrogate your logs. There are so many reasons why this could happen. Could be internal ldap locks or because you probably did multiple restarts one of the apps did not release the lock. If you are on linux try doing key word searches starting from warning, errors etc e.g grep -rnw /path -e

    Hi @Ibag,

    What 12c Version are you in?

    what's the biserver1.log file say? any errors in there?

    do you have any entry in your obis1-diagnostic.log file related to RPD loading errors?

    Have you tried using importserviceinstance? (read http://www.rittmanmead.com/blog/2016/02/obiee-12c-repository-password-corruption-issue/  for a description of possible cause and solution)
