    Christian,

    Is there a recommended backup routine and or methodology

    Ex: Back up xmlconfig file every time you change it. (I'm making it simple but am wondering if there are certain files that should be backed up periodically or before certain deployments)

    Respectfully

  • I wouldn't say to back up the Weblogic config & co files every time you change them as you have the risk to forget once and so your back up strategy will not work. I'm more for a periodical backup, can be daily or weekly (or a mix like daily and then keep only weekly snapshot longer and then monthly snapshot longer etc.) but done in an automated way (no human based action).

    You aren't really supposed to change weblogic settings, users / groups daily, so an automated back up is supposed to give you enough security to not lose too much in case you must load one of the saved version.

    +1 you can easily cronjob that for the core config (if your backup space is limited for example) so you have valid points in time

    Hi All,

    Thanks for your help.

    Now the issue is resolved. I have replaced the DefaultAuthenticatorInit.ldift file with my back-up then I was able to login to Em and console. But still I was struggling with Analytics and xmlpserver login.

    Then I checked, the default users(except weblogic) and default Groups were not available. So I recreated them and assigned as it should be. Now still authentication was failing at application level.

    Then I refreshed the GUID And BOOM...finally I got the my luck.

    Regards,

    Abinash

    I wouldn't really mark that as the correct answer because it contains an error:

    If the default groups (GROUPS!) are not available then weblogic can't do squat because he also has zero rights in the WLS environment :-P

    Yes, I agree. But First time the server got up without any errors. then I added all the Groups i.e BIAdministartors, BIAuthors, BIConsumers.

    Then assigned the weblogic user into BIAdministrator. It works fine for me.

    Yes but those are groups for application use. Not the default WebLogic platform groups! "weblogic" as a user is a proper WebLogic Administrator in all aspects and regards.

    He is "BIAdministrator" because that's OBI-specifically added stuff. Application-related groups. Because again otherwise you also would not be able to access WLS and EM.
