Stopping OBIEE Servers

After Completion of development/Training activities we are not supposed to shut down your machines directly without stopping the server. If we do so sometimes our server will get crashed where recovering is a tedious process. so please play safe here.

If you dont want to stop obiee services then you can hibernate your machines(possible from windows7) which can save lot of time in starting services.

How to Stop?

Goto Start menu > Oracle Business intelligence>Stop BI Services

Wait until all the services closes if all the services closes successfully below C:\BI11g>{i.e home folder} appears in cmd .exe  as shown below

After this its safe to do all your Personal activities.
