How to Purge OBIEE Cache/TMP files to free up disk Space

Follow the steps below to delete the tem/log and core_ files that may be eating up your server space.




1) WebLogic Server Log Files

The Admin and Managed server log directories and remove any old log files that you no longer exist:

[Middleware Home]/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/bi_server1/logs
[Middleware Home]/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/AdminServer/logs



2) Oracle BI System Log Files

check the sub-folders underneath the following directory and remove any old .log files:

[Middleware Home]/instances/bi_instance/diagnostics/logs



3) Oracle BI "tmp" Folder for Cache Entries

Check the tmp folders and sub-folders in the following location and remove any old files:

[Middleware Home]/instances/bi_instance/tmp



4) Core Dump Files

Some processes will create core dump files/folders to be created, it would be worth removing any "core_" files and folders which exist in the following locaiton:

[Middleware Home]/instances/bi_instance



5) Oracle BI Patch Files

After you have applied a patch to Oracle BI 11g, you can remove the extracted patch folders once they have been applied.   The patch files would have probably been extracted into sub-folders within the following locations:

[Middlware Home]/Oracle_BI1                   e.g. /app/oracle/middleware/Oracle_BI1/7843472

[Middlware Home]/Oracle_common
