11.1.1.7 - Cannot activate repository due to file locking error

I am attempting to activate a new repository in Fusion Middleware. I can select the repository, click Apply, then click Activate Changes. After a couple of minutes, I get this error screen:

An series of identical lines in the AdminServer-diagnostic.log tells me this:

After it puts that into the log several times, it records this:

Where do I go from here? The NQSConfig.ini file still shows the old file name, so I can't just restart services or reboot the machine.

More information: The file that is apparently locked, as noted in the error message above, is c:\{mwhome}\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\config\fmsconfig\biee-config.lock.

But it is the very act of clicking 'Activate Changes' that creates that file. So it appears that the process that is complaining about the file lock is the very process that created the file lock to begin with.

FTisiot

Have you tried releasing the lock?

Mark.Thompson

How do I do that? I tried deleting the file, but it is (of course) locked by the bi_server1 process, so I can't delete it.

Is there a command to release the lock?

FTisiot

I would try:

1) Release Configuration

2) a server restart. The old RPD should still be there if you didn't manually deleted it

Mark.Thompson

Yup, I did all of that. Many times. After the failure, I released the configuration, restarted the machine. Everything restarts just fine with the old RPD, as you noted it should.

But then attempting to deploy a new RPD throws the same error. It won't update nqsconfig.ini.

I must have tried this a dozen times. Whatever is wrong, at least it is consistent.

FTisiot

is the biee-config.lock; file still there after the restart? If so can you try deleting it before uploading the RPD?

Mark.Thompson

Yup, tried that too. I can manually delete it if it is there, and I have done so. I have even deleted it after clicking 'Apply' and just prior to clicking 'Activate Changes'. The click on 'Activate Changes' then creates it, and two minutes later, after fussing about "the file is locked" it throws the error.

Sherry George

Just adding this here as it has same error messages and OBIEE version. Oracle Support Bug 18109473 (INSTALL FAILS WHEN DISTRIBUTING REPOSITORY AS CANNOT OBTAIN BIEE-CONFIG.LOCK)

Mark.Thompson

Thank you, Sherry.

Severity	2 - Severe Loss of Service	Product Version	11.1.1.7.0
Status	84 - Closed, not feasible to fix

Status = Closed, not feasible to fix. "It doesn't work, we know it doesn't work, and we don't intend to fix it." Nice.
