Specifying the Scheduler Host and Port in Presentation Services Configuration File

This topic is part of Configuring Oracle BI Presentation Services to Communicate With Oracle BI Scheduler.

The Scheduler host name and port are specified in the instanceconfig.xml file for Oracle BI Presentation Services. The Presentation Services instanceconfig.xml file is located in the directory OracleBIData_HOME\web\config on Windows, and in OracleBIData_HOME/web/config on Linux.

• When Oracle BI Scheduler and Oracle BI Presentation Services components are installed together on the same machine, the installer sets the instanceconfig.xml setting to the local host and default Scheduler port of 9705.

  If Oracle BI Scheduler and Oracle BI Presentation Services are installed on the same machine and Scheduler uses the default port 9705, proceed to topic Adding Scheduler Administrator Credentials to Oracle BI Presentation Services Credential Store.

• When Oracle BI Scheduler and Oracle BI Presentation Services are not installed on the same machine, or if you have changed the Scheduler port from the default port of 9705, you must modify the instanceconfig.xml file for Presentation Services.

  NOTE:  Make a back-up copy of this file before editing it.

  Use the following procedure to modify the instanceconfig.xml configuration file with an entry that points the Oracle BI Presentation Services to the Oracle BI Scheduler machine and port number.

NOTE:  For organizations that use Oracle Application Server, Oracle recommends that you use Oracle Application Server Control to modify configuration files. For organizations that use other application servers, Oracle recommends that you use JConsole. For more information, see the topic Updating Configuration Settings Using Oracle Application Server Control or JConsole.

To change the ScheduleServer configuration setting

1. On the BI Presentation Services machine, navigate to the Oracle BI data directory at the location shown in the following table:

   Operating System	Data Directory Location
   Windows	OracleBIData_HOME\Web\config
   Linux	OracleBIData_HOME/web/config

   Locate the file instanceconfig.xml and make a backup copy.

2. Open the instanceconfig.xml file for editing.
3. Between the <ServerInstance></ServerInstance> tags, locate the tag pair <Alerts> and </Alerts>. (If they do not exist, create them.)
4. Between the Alerts tags, create the tag pair <ScheduleServer> and </ScheduleServer>.
5. Between the ScheduleServer tags, insert the machine name of the Scheduler machine.

   For example:

   <ServerInstance>
   . . .

   <Alerts>
      <ScheduleServer>Schedulermachine</ScheduleServer>
   </Alerts>

6. If the Scheduler port has been changed from the default of 9705, specify the Scheduler port number.

   For example:

   <ServerInstance>
   . . .

   <Alerts>
      <ScheduleServer>Schedulermachine:Port</ScheduleServer>
   </Alerts>

7. Save the file when you are done.

   Your changes take effect when the Oracle BI Presentation Services service is restarted.
