You run EPMA_CreateAndStartVIPResource.bat, in EPM_ORACLE_HOME/products/Foundation/BPMA/AppServer/DimensionServer/ServerEngine/Failover, to create, register, and start a VIP resource. The VIP resource is paired with an application resource to provide a single point of access. The batch file runs in a command window and pauses when finished. Pressing any key closes the command window.
Before running EPMA_CreateAndStartVIPResource.bat, you can edit it to conform with your environment. You use a different batch file to stop and delete the VIP resource after deleting the application resource.
If clients access the application through a network, and failover to another node is enabled, you must register a VIP address for the application. Oracle Clusterware provides a standard VIP agent for application VIPs. Basing any new application VIPs on the VIP type that is referenced in EPMA_CreateAndStartVIPResource.bat ensures consistent behavior among all VIPs deployed in a cluster.
