If you face any issues while running ETL full load then apply below patch 10052370_101341_Generic Follow the steps instructed in Readme.txt file of the patch

Challenges starting BI Presentation services:1. It takes lot of time to start BI Server service, wait till it start. 2. Make sure you enter all the required values for PATH variable (INFA_HOME\server\bin; INFA_HOME\client\bin;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_10\bin;C:\OracleBI\SQLAnywhere;C:\OracleBI\web\bin;C:\OracleBI\web\catalogmanager;C:\ app\Administrator\product\11.1.0\db_1\BIN;C:\app\Administrator\product\11.1.0\db_1\LIB;C:\OracleBI\server \Bin) 3. In any case of restarting BI servicesfirst start BI Server, then BI Presentation services, Java host & OC4J. NOTE:- Check the size of EnterpriseBusinessAnalytics at C:\OracleBIData\web\catalog, it must be 176 MB, if not then unzip the zip file with same name.

Order of stopping/starting BI Services:-

Order of Stopping, then Restarting OBI Services To avoid unnecessary failures, the OBI services on Windows environment should be stopped in the below order: 1. Stop Oracle Business Intelligence Server Service

2. Stop Oracle Business Intelligence Presentation Services 3. Stop Oracle Business Intelligence Scheduler Service I will now explain how these services are stopped or terminated under Windows environment. These steps are also very much important to consider when we want to restart the OBI server. Stopping OBI Server under Windows In order to stop OBI servers under Windows platform, we need to stop related Windows services. Because OBI servers are being run by Windows as services. Following the simple steps given below helps us to stop the OBI services. Here also the order is important. 1. Open Windows Services. (Start->Run->services.msc->Enter or Start->Programs->Administrative Tools->Services) 2. Stop 'Oracle BI Presentation Services'. 3. Stop 'World Wide Web Service'. 4. Stop 'Oracle BI Server Service'. Stopping Oracle BI Presentation Services will take longer time to finish. Starting OBI Server under Windows Starting OBI Server is almost the reverse process of stopping the server, instead of stopping we start services. In order to start the OBI server, we need to start the following services in order: 1. Open Windows Services. (Start->Run->services.msc->Enter or Start->Programs->Administrative Tools->Services) 2. Start 'Oracle BI Server Service'. 3. Start 'World Wide Web Service'. 4. Start 'Oracle BI Presentation Services'.
