Configuring BI Presentation Services Plug-in when BI Presentation Services Listener Port Has Been Changed

This topic contains information about configuring the BI Presentation Services Plug-in when the BI Presentation Services listener port has been changed.

The changes are made to two files:

• Using the web.xml File
• Using the isapiconfig.xml File

Using the web.xml File

The web.xml file is located in the Oracle BI applications WEB-INF directory.

To modify BI Presentation Services Plug-in (web.xml)

1. Open the web.xml file for editing.
2. Locate the oracle.bi.presentation.sawserver.Port parameter and set the port value as shown:

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

   <init-param>
      <param-name>oracle.bi.presentation.sawserver.Port</param-name>
      <param-value>9715</param-value>
   </init-param>

   NOTE:  In the preceding example , BI Presentation Services Plug-in communicates with BI Presentation Services on port 9715.

3. If you have multiple BI Presentation Services instances in your deployment, locate the oracle.bi.presentation.Sawservers parameter and set the ports as shown:

   <init-param>
      <param-name>oracle.bi.presentation.Sawservers</param-name>
      <param-value>Server1:9715;Server2>:9715</param-value>
   </init-param>

   NOTE:  In the above example, BI Presentation Services Plug-in communicates with the each of the two BI Presentation Services instances, Server1 and Server2, on port 9715, where both BI Presentation Services instances are configured to listen on port 9715.

   Refer to Clustering, Load Balancing, and Failover in Oracle Business Intelligence for more information on configuration settings for a multi-server deployment of Oracle BI.

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.

   NOTE:  If you have multiple instances of BI Presentation Services Plug-in, you must perform the configuration as described for all instances.

Using the isapiconfig.xml File

Use the following procedure to configure BI Presentation Services Plug-in to communicate with BI Presentation Services on a port other than the default port. The isapiconfig.xml file is located in the directory OracleBIData_HOME\web\config.

To modify BI Presentation Services Plug-in (isapiconfig.xml)

1. Open the isapiconfig.xml file for editing.
2. If you have a single instance of BI Presentation Services in your deployment, locate the entry:

   <ServerConnectInfo address="<BI Presentation Services Hostname>" port="9710"/>

3. Modify the port value to match the Listener port set for BI Presentation Services:

   <ServerConnectInfo address="<BI Presentation Services Hostname>" port="9715"/>

4. If you have multiple instances of BI Presentation Services in your deployment, the entries should be similar to the following example:

   <ServerConnectInfo>
      <Hosts>
         <Host address="Server1" port="9715"/>
         <Host address="Server2" port="9715"/>
      </Hosts>
   </ServerConnectInfo>

   where:

   • The Host sub-element defines the BI Presentation Services host and port pair.
   • Set the ports to match the Listener port for the BI Presentation Services instances.

     Refer to Clustering, Load Balancing, and Failover in Oracle Business Intelligence for more information on configuration settings for a multi-server deployment of Oracle BI.

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

   NOTE:  If you have multiple instances of BI Presentation Services Plug-in, you must perform the configuration as described for all instances.
