OBIEE System Component Log Locations

You have to check the below logs if you have any startup issues for any of your OBIEE components.
The first step is to check the status of all components using opmnct status -l, if any of the component
status is down go to the corresponding log file for more information.

To individually start components for an example to start the presentation services you would use the
below command
opmnctl startproc ias-component=coreapplication_obips1
Similarly to start other components replace the coreapplication_obips1 with correct names.
Presentation Services:
OBIEE_HOME\instances\instance1\diagnostics\logs\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreappli
cation_obips1
sawlogo.log - Fro any issues related to Presentation Services start/stop

nqquery.log - For any issues related OBIEE Analysis & RPD issues
nqserver.log - For any issues related to Server Component start/stop
BI Scheduler Component:
OBIEE_HOME\instances\instance1\diagnostics\logs\OracleBISchedulerComponent\coreapplication_obis
ch1
