WLST script that stops and then starts the BI publisher Java component

We can also start up or shut down individual Java components across your Oracle BI domain using WLST. The following example WLST script shows the steps to stop and then start the BI Publisher Java component.

1  .       Type the below script in notepad

import sys

import os

argLen = len(sys.argv)

if argLen -1 != 4:

    print "ERROR: got ", argLen -1, " args."

                print "USAGE: wlst.cmd restartBIP.py WLS_HOST WLS_PORT WLS_USER WLS_PASSWORD"

                print " eg: wlst.cmd restartBIP.py localhost 7001 weblogic Welcome1"

                exit()

               

WLS_HOST = sys.argv[1]

WLS_PORT = sys.argv[2]

WLS_USER = sys.argv[3]

WLS_PW = sys.argv[4]

print 'Connecting to ' + WLS_HOST + ':' + WLS_PORT + ' as user: ' + WLS_USER + '...'

# Connect to the WLS

connect (WLS_USER, WLS_PW, WLS_HOST+ ':' + WLS_PORT);

print 'Connecting to the Servers Configuration MBean...'

cd('Servers')

ls()         

## Stop BI publisher

print 'Stopping BI Publisher Java component...'

progress=stopApplication('bipublisher#11.1.1')

## Start BI Publisher

print 'Starting BI Publisher Java component...'

progress=startApplication('bipublisher#11.1.1')

2  .       Save the file as restartBIP.py in the following location middleware_home\Oracle_BI1\common\bin. Save the file as .py extension

3  .       Call the above file (restartBIP.py) using command prompt as follows- middleware_home\Oracle_BI1\common\bin>wlst restartBIP.py localhost 7001 weblogic Welcome1 restart

We can substitute other application names if we wish to stop or start other java applications. We can use the Fusion Middleware Control to determine the names to use in the script by looking at the list of applications in the Application Deployments folder in the navigation tree menu.
