About the Cluster Server

The Cluster Server allows up to 16 Oracle BI Servers in a network domain to act as a single server. Servers in the cluster share requests from multiple Oracle BI clients, including Answers and Delivers.

The Cluster Controller is the primary component of the Cluster Server. It monitors the status of resources in a cluster and performs session assignment as resources change. It also supports detection of server and Oracle Business Intelligence Scheduler failures and failover for ODBC clients of failed servers for clients of these managed services.
