Instanceconfig.xml ----> file path

D:\Oracle\Middleware\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1

NQSConfig.INI file path :

Steps to deployee new RPD and catalog :

in obiee11g is different from obiee10g deployment procedure
here deployment via Weblogic Enterprise Manager option. but in obiee10g just change it instanceconfi.xml and NQSCOnfig.ini file then restart(this all steps are now taking care by weblogic EM)

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\coreapplication_obips1

sawlogo.log - Fro any issues related to Presentation Services start/stop
BI Server Component:

OBIEE_HOME\instances\instance1\diagnostics\logs\OracleBIServerComponent\coreapplication_obis1

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_obisch1

nqscheduler.log - For any issues related to Scheduler Component start/stop
BI Cluster Component:

OBIEE_HOME\instances\instance1\diagnostics\logs\OracleBIClusterControllerComponent\coreapplication_obiccs1

nqcluster.log - For any issues related to Cluster Component start/stop

Java host Component:

OBIEE_HOME\instances\instance1\diagnostics\logs\OracleBIJavaHostComponent\coreapplication_obijh1

jh.log - For any issues related to Java Host Component start/stop

ORACLE_BIEE_HOME = C:\Oracle\Middleware\obiee11g (This is your root folder where you installed OBIEE 11g)

Please note that by default "instance1" is created but if you tried to install multiple times you might have different name (ex: instance2)
If your instance name is different replace the instance1 with your correct instance name.
