OPMNCTL Status all process showing STOP and not DOWN Problems

OBIEE 11g OPMN Problems

 

 

 

I had an occasion where processes in OPMNCTL get stuck and show STOP and not down when you try to startall OPMNCTL processes.

An OBIEE OPMNCTL Process will not start and fail due to a process being in stop. 

./opmnctl status

If they or 1 process show stop then read on 

If the PID - Unix Process is not alive for the process in STOP then you have to delete some files in a specific OPMN directory

Start with Stopping all OPMN processes

./opmnctl shutdown

Then goto Directory

$ORACLE_HOME/opmn/logs/states

Or if that dont exist then $MW_HOME/Instances/Instance1/OPMN/opmn/states

Remove all files in the states directory

./opmnctl start

./opmnctl status - All process should now be DOWN

./opmnctl startall - OBIEE should now start as normal 

OPMN and EM is out of sync.. Says Alive in EM and Down in OPMNCTL Status

Ports in File $ORACLE_HOME/sysman/emd/targets.xml need to match 

the opmn ports being used

You may also need to use a dcmctl in combination 

with opmnctl to repair this.
