I've been having this problem since last week.

All my bi servers take a long time to start up. What used to take under 20 minutes now takes 3 hours. Is there any way I could diagnose-fix this?

This is for OBIEE 12.2.1.2 on Linux.

  • Where is time spent? If you follow in logs the startup what is done for how long?

    One element know to help is the /dev/random vs. /dev/urandom for java which can help weblogic, but first would be better if you analyse where the time is spent.

    it seems to be spread out across the board because I did not notice where things speed up and then slow down.

    I could paste my log or relevant portions if you wish.

    Hi @Khalid Ibrahim

    What is your OS ?

    If linux , there is a document related to how to make faster services scripts in Linux OS. Maybe it helps you

    OBIEE 12c FAQ: Why Does The start.sh | stop.sh | status.sh Script Run Slow? (Doc ID 2069626.1

  • This document goes back to the /dev/random vs /dev/urandom thing for Weblogic.

    As it's something quite simple to test,  @Khalid Ibrahim, you can always give it a try...

    I have also lost access to the standard groups.. BI Content Author, Bi Consumer, Administration, etc. I can view them on the web client administration (from analytics) but not in console.

  • What is the link between slow start of OBIEE and you "losing access to standard groups" ?

    Also, these aren't groups, Catalog groups doesn't exist anymore in 12c, so I imagine you talk about the application roles? The application roles aren't in console, so not finding them there is more than normal.

    The (shared Linux) server went down just before that.

    Also Gianni, I am a little confused now. I saw group references in weblogic console (please see screen print and I did have BI Consumer, etc) though in EM and in the client administrator I see roles.

  • Ah, you mean the embedded WLS LDAP groups, next to users.

    So your server crashed and you don't have the LDAP groups anymore? And the server crashed right before you first saw that starting take hours?
