The BI Publisher will be started automatically during the startup process of the Enterprise Manager 13c. You don’t like the BI Publisher or you don’t use it? Save the resources, speed up your startup process, disable it. The password of the database repository owner SYSMAN is required.
Verify the Status – the BI Publisher is up and running

Timing
I have tested the start of the Oracle Enterprise Manager in my local virtual machine environment (VMWare Workstation,15GB Memory, 4 Cores, SSD) with and without the BI Publisher. The difference:
BI Publisher enabled – 4 Minutes and 18 Seconds
