Configuring BI Publisher to Use a Shared File System Repository

The BI Publisher instances in a cluster must share a report repository. A shared file system may be used.

• Create a directory on the shared file system that will serve as the root directory for the Publisher repository.

  For example, \Publisher\repository

• Copy the repository files and folders to this shared directory.

If you have installed BI Publisher using the Oracle Business Intelligence installer, the BI Publisher repository files and folder are located in the following directories:

• Windows: OracleBI_HOME\xmlp\XMLP
• Linux or UNIX: OracleBI_HOME/xmpl/XMLP

Use the following procedure to configure BI Publisher to access the repository on the shared file system. Perform this configuration on all instances of BI Publisher. Once you have completed this task, you can perform all additional configuration tasks to the clustered BI Publisher application.

To configure BI Publisher to access the repository on the shared file system

1. Log in to the BI Publisher Enterprise application using the URL http://<server>/xmlpserver.

   The default username and password is Administrator/Administrator.

2. Navigate to the Admin tab. Under System Maintenance, click on the Server Configuration link.
3. In the Report Repository section on the Server Configuration tab of the System Maintenance page, select File System as the Repository Type.
4. In the Path field, enter the path to the shared file system.

   Click Apply.

5. Restart the BI Publisher application for the change to take effect.
