A schedule database is required for Oracle BI Schedule service to work.
Use following steps to configure Oracle BI Scheduler:
- Identify a database
- Create scheduler tables
- Configure Job Manager
- Configure XML files
- Start Oracle BI Schedule Service
Identify a database
The schedule database would hold scheduler tables. You could choose any supported database to be scheduler database. Supported databases are: Oracle, DB2, MSSQL, Teradata, and SQLServer.
In this document we assume that Oracle database is used for Scheduler database.
Create a new schema to host the scheduler tables. For example, Sched_1@OBIEE
Create scheduler tables
Scripts to create scheduler tables are located under C:\OBIEE\OracleBI\server\Schema folder.
For Oracle database, use SAJOBS.Oracle.sql to create the scheduler tables.
Launch Oracle SQL*Plus, login as Sched_1@OBIEE .
Next enter the following string at the SQL > prompt to run the batch sql file:
start C:\OBIEE\OracleBI\server\schema\ SAJOBS.Oracle.sql;
In Linux files : /oracle/app/OracleBI/server/Schema
SAJOBS.xxx.sql
SAACCNT.xxx.sql
In my case :
For this we have to set the path :
ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/client
export ORACLE_HOME
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:.
then :
sqlplus / username@DBname
password : database password.
Username : SCHED_USER
Password : Demo
Database name : SCHED
Port : 1522
sqlplus SCHED_USER@SCHED
@SAJOBS.oracle.sql
@SAACCNT.oracle.sql
This will create scheduler tables.
Verify that the tables were created by entering the following string at the SQL > prompt:
select table_name from user_tables where table_name like ‘S_NQ%’;
Now we have run cryptotools to create credential in credentialstore.xml file .
Cryptotools utility is located under OracleBI\web\bin folder
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/OracleBI/server/Bin64:/orarep/app/OracleBI/web/bin64:.
cryptotools64 credstore -add -infile /flexcube/app/OracleBIData/web/config/credentialstore.xml
>Credential Alias: Admin
>Credential “Admin” already exists. Do you want to overwrite it? y/n (y): y
>Username: Administrator
>Password: Administrator
>Do you want to encrypt the password? y/n (y): y
>Passphrase for encryption: Admin
>Do you want to write the passphrase to the xml? y/n (n): y
Add the below in Instanceconfig.xml
/OracleBIData/web/config
<CredentialStore>
<CredentialStorage type=”file” path=”\OracleBIData\web\config\credentialstore.xml” />
</CredentialStore>
Run schconfig to configure the scheduler(unix) with the database schema connection.
/OracleBI/web/bin64
Add Scheduler Administrator Credentials to Oracle BI Presentation Services Credential Store (cryptotools).
Configure Oracle BI Presentation Services to Identify the Credential Store (instanceconfig.xml)
Datasource Name : SCHED
username : SCHED_USER
password : Demo
cd /OracleBI/setup
. ./sa-init64.sh
cd /OracleBI/server/Bin64
schconfig
Databse Configuration :
***** Scheduler Database Configuration *****
1 – Database Type : Oracle 10g R2
2 – Call Interface : OCI 10g
3 – Data Source Name : SCHED
4 – User Name : SCHED_USER
5 – Password : *****
6 – Timeout (Minutes) : 60
7 – Maximum Connections 5
8 – Bulk Fetch Buffer Size (bytes) : 33792
9 – Database Table for Jobs : S_NQ_JOB
10 – Database Table for Instances : S_NQ_INSTANCE
11 – Database Table for Parameters : S_NQ_JOB_PARAM
12 – Database Table for Messages : S_NQ_ERR_MSG
13 – DEFAULT VALUES
0 – Quit
General Configuration:
***** Scheduler General Configuration *****
1 – Scheduler Script Path : /OracleBI/server/Scripts/Scheduler
2 – Default Script Path :/OracleBI/server/Scripts/Common
3 – Temporary File Path : /OracleBIData/tmp
4 – Port Number : 9705
5 – Purge Old instances after X days : 7
6 – Purge DB every X minutes : 5
7 – Minimum Execution Threads : 1
8 – Maximum Execution Threads : 100
9 – Pause When Service Starts : False
10 – Administrator Name : Administrator
11 – Administrator Password : *****
12 – DEFAULT VALUES
0 – Quit
Then we can try to start all the OBIEE related services .
oc4j start
run-sa.sh start
run-saw.sh start
run-ccs.sh start
