Node manager status is inactive after configuring SSL for OBIEE.

After configuring SSL for OBIEE we faced some issues in node manger.

Issue: Node manger is stated but when checked from weblogic it's status inactive.

Solution : Login to console and select your machine under configuration tab select Node Manager and change type to plain.

In your nodemanger.properties file check whether SecureListener=false.

After this restart node manger,admin and managed servers.

Then check the node manger status and you can see it node manager is in Reachable state.

Thank you.

Error at step 11 of 12 in Scale out BI system while implementing horizontal clustering.

Error: When implementing horizontal clustering in OBIEE. The process failed at the step of starting BI_Server. The Scale out BI System completed up to 73%.

Cause: Extending domain can't start the BI_Server.

Solution:

1: Do not close the installation window.

2: Check the managed server(bi_server1) log

3: In our case error shown is:

"<Critical> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000386> <Server subsystem failed. Reason: java.lang.AssertionError: java.net.UnknownHostException: Host Name
java.lang.AssertionError: java.net.UnknownHostException: Host Name"


4: Edit /etc/hosts file in both machines the one we are extending the domain and the one we installed our weblogic server

And added the following entries in the file.

ip hostname hostname.domainname(of the working machine)
ip hostname hostname.domainname(of the machine taht we want to connect)

5: Then try starting the managed server using the command startManagedWebLogic.cmd bi_server1 http://<Admin Server IP Address/Host name>:7001 

6: This will start your managed server.Then from the configuration wizard where we stuck select the tick box on the top.

7: Then retry the extending domain proess.

[SOLVED] Node manager is down after configuring SSL in weblogic [Cannot convert identity certificate]

Error:  <SEVERE>  <Fatal error in node manager server>
java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot convert identity certificate

Cause:Reason for this issue is we configured SSL.enableJSSE=true  in weblogic console only. We need to set this option in startNodeManager.sh file also

Solution: Edit your startNodeManager.sh file and add the below tag in the following location

Tag to add : "-Dweblogic.security.SSL.enableJSSE=true"

Solved[BEA-000386]: Server subsystem failed. Reason: weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationException: Authentication for user denied In OBIEE

Error: While starting BI_Server, server state changed to force shutting down with the following error.

" <Critical> <WebLogicServer> <OPQA007> <bi_server1> <main> <<WLS Kernel>> <> <> <1467614089016> <BEA-000386> <Server subsystem failed. Reason: weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationException: Authentication for user  denied "


Cause: boot.properties file is not properly set.

Solution: check whether boot.properties file is present in the below mentioned location

"/home/oracle/MWHome/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/AdminServer/security/"

If it is not there create a boot.properties file

Entries in the file

#Mon Jul 04 02:53:28 EDT 2016
password=
username=

Provide proper username and password then save the file in the

"/home/oracle/MWHome/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/AdminServer/security/"
 location.

Do the same for bi_server1

Then restart Admin and bi_server1

Then bi server can load the credentials from boot.properties file.

[Solved][Error INST-08058]: A lookup of the address for this machine returned an IP address rather than a hostname.]

Error: Got the following error while scaling the BI server in weblogic in step scale  Outt BI system.
         
error:INST-08058: A lookup of the address for this machine returned an IP address rather than a hostname.

Cause: The machine is not able to identify the host name while configuring BI Server.

Solution: Edit /etc/hosts file in both machines the one we are extending the domain and the one we installed our weblogic server

And added the following entries in the file.

ip hostname hostname.domainname(of the working machine)
ip hostname hostname.domainname(of the machine taht we want to connect)

Then proceed with the installation.
