Oracle EPM 11.2 OHS Services

Tips and Tricks
Written By Joe Malewicki

Oracle EPM 11.2 does not include the Oracle HTTP server (OHS) startup service we are used to seeing in prior version of the product. This requires us to be more hands-on when starting and stopping the EPM environment. Fortunately, if you use a services start/stop script, you can add commands to ensure the OHS processes and prerequisites are on-line before your Hyperion services are started, and to shut down the OHS and WebLogic processes after the Hyperion services are stopped.

The proper sequence for startup is to first bring up the Oracle WebLogic server:

  • Open a Command Prompt
  • Navigate to <MW_HOME>/user_projects/domains/EPMSystem/bin folder
  • Execute ‘startWeblogic.cmd’ (no quotes)
  • You may be prompted for a password, use the same one you provided when configuring the EPM WebLogic portion of your installation
  • Once WebLogic is started, you may then start the OHS component from a command prompt:
  • cd<ORACLE_EPM_INSTANCE>\httpConfig\ohs\bin
  • startComponent ohs_component
  • You may be prompted for a password, use the same one you provided when configuring the EPM WebLogic portion of your installation

Until Enhancement Request Bug 17694797 HOW TO START OHS 12C AS WINDOWS SERVICE has been completed and released, managing your OHS application processes must be a manual or scripted affair.
