Finally, we end this chapter with some tips on how to set up a couple of useful links.
The installation process creates files that control the starting and stopping of the various services, including a command file that will start the WebLogic servers and all the OBIEE components. These control scripts exist in the software folders, and therefore, to access them, we would have to navigate to the full path they are in.
The start
command is found within the domain
folder, in C:fmw_obieeOracle_homeuser_projectsdomainsbibitoolsbin
.
The command is as follows:
start.cmd
Therefore, the full command to run is as follows:
C:fmw_obieeOracle_homeuser_projectsdomainsbibitoolsbinstart.cmd
We will now create a shortcut to this file to place on the Windows Start screen:
cmd.exe /K C:fmw_obieeOracle_homeuser_projectsdomainsbibitoolsbinstart.cmd
OBIEE 12c Start
, and click on Finish.Now you will be able to go to the Windows start menu and see your shortcut. The /K
part of the command prevents the window from closing, and is optional.
stop.cmd
and status.cmd
entries.You can edit the shortcut; for example, you can change the icon by right-clicking on the shortcut on the Start menu and selecting Open File Location
. This will take you to the shortcut object in the folder, which for us is C:UsersAdministratorAppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuPrograms
. Here you can change the properties of the shortcut, again by right-clicking.
