You can start and stop the BI Server using the scripted commands start-pentaho.sh and stop-pentaho.sh which are located in /biserver-ce directory by default. To have the BI Server start automatically during boot time, we need to modify these two scripts a bitand create a startup script called pentaho. All configuration configurations here was were tested on Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit.
...
/biserver-ce/start-pentaho.sh should read as follows:
| Code Block |
|---|
#!/bin/sh ### ====================================================================== ### ## ## ## Pentaho Start Script ## ## ## ### ====================================================================== ### if [ -e promptuser.sh ]; then sh promptuser.sh rm promptuser.sh fi if [ "$?" = 0 ]; then cd data sh start_hypersonic.sh & cd .. cd tomcat/bin export CATALINA_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx768m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000" sh startup.sh fi |
Next, your /biserver-ce/stop-pentaho.sh should read as follows:
| Code Block |
|---|
##!/bin/sh ### ====================================================================== ### ## ## ## Pentaho Stop Script ## ## ## ### ====================================================================== ### cd data sh stop_hypersonic.sh & cd .. cd tomcat/bin sh shutdown.sh |
We will now go to create the appropriate startup script to start and stop the BI Server and administrative console in /etc/init.d
...
To make our new script executable by the system we run the following command
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/pentaho
Finally, we add the pentaho script to the system startup and shutdown runlevels by issuing the following command.
sudo update-rc.d pentaho defaults
