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
...
We add the following text to the file:
| Code Block |
|---|
#!/bin/shbash -e ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: start-pentaho stop-pentaho # Required-Start: networking mysql # Required-Stop: mysql # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Description: Pentaho BI Platform ### END INIT INFO export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun" export JRE_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre" start(){ if case[ "$1" in 'start') cd /biserver-ce /biserver-ce == "adm" ];then echo "Iniciando aplicacao administration-console" cd ../administration-console ./start-pac.sh > /tmp/pentaho_console.out 2>&1 & else echo "Iniciando aplicacao biserver" ./start-pentaho.sh cd /administration-console /administration-console/start.sh ;; 'stop') cd /biserver-ce /biserver-ce/stop-pentaho.sh cd /administration-console /administration-console/stop.sh> /tmp/pentaho.out 2>&1 fi echo "ok" } stop(){ echo "recebi: $1" if [ "$1" == "adm" ];then echo "Finalizando aplicacao administration-console" cd ../administration-console ./stop-pac.sh else echo "Finalizando aplicacao biserver" ./stop-pentaho.sh fi echo "ok" } case "$1" in start) start $2 ;; stop) stop $2 ;; *) echo printf "Usage\nUsage: $0 { start \n start | stop : Inicia ou finaliza a aplicacao biserver\n start adm | stop }" adm : Inicia ou finaliza o administration console\n\n" ;; esac exit 0 |
Please note:
If you would like the scripts to run as a background task when the server starts up instead of launching in a terminal window, append an "&" to the end of the script name. So, in the above code:
| Code Block |
|---|
cd /biserver-ce /biserver-ce/start-pentaho.sh& cd /administration-console /administration-console/start.sh& |
Now we need to make pentaho executable and add it to the startup and shutdown runlevels.
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
