Configuring BI Presentation Services Plug-in


BI Presentation Services must be configured to communicate with multiple BI Presentation Services instances.

BI Presentation Services consists of two types:

Configuring BI Presentation Services Plug-in (Java Servlet) for Deployments Using J2EE Based Application Servers

Follow the steps in this procedure to configure BI Presentation Services Plug-in to communicate with the multiple BI Presentation Services instances.

For the Java servlet, configure the Plug-in in the web.xml file, located as follows:

  • Under Windows: ORACLE_HOME\j2ee\bianalytics\applications\analytics\analytics\WEB-INF
  • Under Linux or UNIX: ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/bianalytics/applications/analytics/analytics/WEB-INF

To configure the BI Presentation Services Plug-in Java Servlet

  1. Open the web.xml file for editing.
  2. Locate the following param-name and param value pairs:

    <init-param>
       <param-name>oracle.bi.presentation.sawserver.Host</param-name>
       <param-value><BI Presentation Services></param-value>
    </init-param>

    <init-param>
       <param-name>oracle.bi.presentation.sawserver.Port</param-name>
       <param-value>9710</param-value>
    </init-param>

  3. Replace the current values with the following values:

    <init-param>
       <param-name>oracle.bi.presentation.Sawservers</param-name>
       <param-value>BI-PS-01:9710;BI-PS-02:9710</param-value>
    </init-param>

    where:

    • BI-PS-01 and BI-PS-02 are machines that host the BI Presentation Services instances.
    • BI Presentation Services listens on port 9710 to RPC calls from the BI Presentation Services plug-in.

      NOTE:  The parameter name oracle.bi.presentation.Sawservers is case-sensitive on Linux and UNIX systems.

  4. Save changes to the file.
  5. Copy the web.xml file to OracleBI_HOME\web\app\WEB-INF on Windows and to OracleBI_HOME/web/app/WEB-INF on Linux.
  6. Restart your Java Servlet container.

Configuring BI Presentation Services Plug-in (ISAPI Plug-in) For Deployments Using IIS

Follow the steps in this procedure to configure BI Presentation Services Plug-in to communicate with the multiple BI Presentation Services instances.

For Microsoft IIS, configure the Plug-in in the isapiconfig.xml file, located in the directory OracleBIData_HOME\web\config.

To configure the BI Presentation Services Plug-in for IIS

  1. Open the isapiconfig.xml file for editing.
  2. Locate the entry similar to the following:

    <ServerConnectInfo address="localhost" port="9710"/>

  3. Replace this entry with the following lines:

    <ServerConnectInfo>
       <LoadBalancer autoRoute="true"/>
          <Hosts>
             <Host address="BI-PS-01" port="9710"/>
             <Host address="BI-PS-02" port="9710"/>|
          </Hosts>
    </ServerConnectInfo>

  4. Save changes to the file.
  5. Restart IIS.
