You can cluster EPM System Web applications during configuration with EPM System Configurator. Use the following general configuration sequence. This procedure assumes that the Oracle HTTP Server installed by EPM System Installer is the logical host.
Before you cluster Web applications, ensure that you meet the installation prerequisites for installing in a distributed environment. See Installing EPM System Products in a Distributed Environment.
To cluster EPM System Web applications during configuration with EPM System Configurator:
Install EPM System Web applications on each machine in your environment.
Configure the Web application on the first machine, selecting “Deploy to Application Server” on the EPM System Configurator Task Selection page.
During deployment, EPM System Configurator creates a cluster for each managed server in WebLogic.
Configure the Web application on the next machine, selecting “Deploy to Application Server” on the EPM System Configurator Task Selection page. On the Application Server deployment page, click Setup, and then enter details on the Advanced Setup page. See Advanced Setup.
During deployment, EPM System Configurator adds the server to the cluster in WebLogic.
Repeat this step for any additional machines in the deployment.
Configure the Web server last, selecting “Configure Web Server” from the Foundation tasks on the EPM System Configurator Task Selection page. Then, restart the Web server and EPM Workspace.
Considerations about clustering Web applications:
EPM System Configurator configures a cluster for each managed server.
You should have only one cluster for each EPM System product. Note that EPM System Configurator creates a cluster for each managed server.
For clustering Financial Management servers, see Clustering Financial Management Servers.
If you are manually deploying Web applications, see (Optional) Clustering Web Applications in a Manual Deployment for information on clustering with WebLogic Server.
