OBIEE 12c: Oracle Business Intelligence has stopped working

Ok, lets get this blog started then...

I've been playing with a new install of OBIEE 12c on Windows 2012 and I couldn't get the bi server to start correctly. I kept on getting the following error:



Error: oracle business intelligence has stopped working
Problem signature:
  Problem Event Name: BEX64
  Application Name: sawserver.exe
  Application Version: 12.2.1.0

and this error:


Error: nqsserver.exe has stopped working
Problem signature:
  Problem Event Name: BEX64
  Application Name: nqsserver.exe

It turns out the issue was due to OBIEE picking up the wrong version of the yod.dll library.

What made my environment different from others?

My server also had the full EPM 11.1.2.4 stack installed,  The EPM instance contains several different versions of the yod.dll and my OBIEE biserver was picking up the wrong version of yod.dll because of the Windows path entries added by the EPM installer.

To fix the issue I created a batch script which sets only the Windows related paths and then calls the OBIEE start.cmd:

set PATH=C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem
call E:\Oracle\OBIEE\Oracle_Home\user_projects\domains\bi\bitools\bin\start.cmd

After this OBIEE started without any issues.

  5. Dear Guillaume Slee,

    I go through your blog you have explained about nqsserver.exe has stopped working solution.

    I am using OBIEE 12.2.1.0.0 in my Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials.

    When I start the BI services I got the pop up error message like given attached file.
    But whatever you have explained about setting i.e., already set up in my environment. Still I am getting the same error when I stop and start the BI services.

    Please could you help me about this.

    Waiting for your kind reply.

    Thanks and Regards-
    Sadashiv
