Pre-Configuration Tasks

Before configuring the Oracle BI components for clustering and load balancing, perform the following tasks.

To perform pre-configuration tasks

1. Identify the Cluster Controller to serve as the Primary Cluster Controller.

   For example, BI-CCS-01.

2. Identify the Cluster Controller instance to serve as the Secondary Cluster Controller. For example, BI-CCS-02.
3. Identify the BI Server instance to serve as the Master BI Server. For example, BI-SERVER-01.
4. Copy the repository file (RPD) to the machines hosting the BI Servers.
   • The repository file must be copied to OracleBI_HOME\server\Repository.
   • On Linux or UNIX, the file must be copied to OracleBI_HOME/server/Repository.
5. Before performing the configurations, shut down all BI services or processes.

   Restart the BI services or processes after configuration is complete.
