Configuration Files Source: Oracle Fusion Middleware

System Administrator's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition > Where are Configuration Files Located?

Oracle BI Server
NQSConfig.INI logconfig.xml ORACLE_INSTANCE\config\OracleBIServerComponent\coreapplication_obisn For example: \instances\instance1\config\OracleBIServerComponent\coreapplication_obis1

Note: Although DBFeatures.ini is also located in this directory, do not edit this file directly. See Oracle Fusion Middleware Metadata Repository Builder's Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition for information about how to edit features for a database.

Oracle BI Presentation Services

instanceconfig.xml ORACLE_INSTANCE\config\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obipsn For example: \instances\instance1\config\OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent\coreapplication_obips1 Note: Do not add elements to the instanceconfig.xml file unless you are overriding the stated default values. Override only those settings that are necessary for configuring the system to meet the needs of your organization.

Cluster Controller
NQClusterConfig.INI ccslogging.xml ORACLE_INSTANCE\config\OracleBIApplication\coreapplication For example:

\instances\instance1\config\OracleBIApplication\coreapplication

Oracle BI Scheduler
instanceconfig.xml ccslogging.xml (for Cluster Controller) ORACLE_INSTANCE\config\OracleBISchedulerComponent\coreapplicati on_obischn For example: \instances\instance1\config\OracleBISchedulerComponent\coreapplication_obisch1

JavaHost
