Nice that you're trying to use Windows 7, Service Pack 1. That's not supported. Stop it.

If you don't want to pay for a Windows Server Operating System, then do the same everybody does: use Linux!

Yes as pointed by Christian Berg Windows 7 is not a supported OS for OBIEE 12c, so do as recommended.

But just going by error message posted it looks like Lock or Permission issue, see the error from your posted error message.

[Couldn't open file 'C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\user_projects\domains\bi\servers\AdminServer\logs\AdminServer.out' for writing (error 5)]

So check if Admin Server still has lock from previous server startup,check in below directory for "*.lok" files

C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\user_projects\domains\bi\servers\AdminServer\tmp

C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\user_projects\domains\bi\servers\AdminServer\data\ldap\ldapfiles

Since OBIEE is installed in C drive there is a possibility that it must have been done using Administrative Privileges so make sure that your command console open to start OBIEE environment is in Administrative Mode.

There is a possibily that user running start.cmd to start BIEE server and services dowsn't has privilege to write to Adminser.out log or as matter of fact permission on DOMAIN_HOME or may be even other homes.

But then having said its mandatory to make use of only supported OS as product has been built,tested and released for supported platforms

The key element here is that it maybe worked once, but you keep having issues. On a supported OS you wouldn't have errors coming from an unsupported install on an unsupported OS.

You can easily imagine that OBIEE doesn't stop working at every reboot or it wouldn't even exist on the market, so the amount of issues you face (and will continue to face) with Windows 7 is not comparable to a standard OBIEE setup.

user3022517

okay, i got it..

Syedsalmancs110

We still stand by the fact that Windows 7 is not a supported OS for OBIEE 12c setup even for a standalone use,it would be better(recommended) you move to a supported OS or setup SampleApplite VM

BUT

Just out of curiosity, did you check you AdminServer.log and AdminServer-diagnostics.log to verify the actual errors and see if fixing those errors might help resolve your issue for time being.

One last check you can perform is whether by any chance OBIEE OPSS RCU schema has locked, check the same by connecting to database using SYSDBA user and running below query:

Select * from dba_users where username like '<PREFIX>_%';

In above query replace <PREFIX> with your RCU schema prefix which was choosen while creating RCU schemas.

If OPSS and any other BIEE schema(BIPLATFORM,MDS,WLS etc) are locked then unlock the same using below query and do not set a new password for schemas otherwise you will need to perform some configuration changes in OBIEE end as well.

alter user <PREFIX>_<SCHEMA NAME> account unlock;

commit;

user3022517

after running this command

Select * from dba_users where username like 'DEV_%';

IT SAYS :- no rows selected.

Syedsalmancs110

then just remove WHERE condition from the query and first check if you are checking in correct database and if any of BIEE Schema exists in the database which you are checking.

Select * from dba_users;

Is DEV was the PREFIX used to create BIEE RCU schemas?

Good thing is I can be off of OTN for some time and know that my threads are still taken care of
