Installation and Configuration Guide

Specify the names of the application servers that participate in the cluster.

An application server cluster is a set of application servers running the same application. Clustered application servers provide load balancing and failover capability and enable the servers to be transparently maintained while applications remain available for users.

The following table describes options for Oracle Hyperion Financial Management cluster configuration.

If you use multiple application servers connected to one database server, you must ensure that the system clocks on the application servers are synchronized. If the clocks are not synchronized, the data being viewed might not be current.

Note:

The synchronization between Financial Management application servers is based on system time. Changing the clock can affect this synchronization. For the time change to and from Daylight Savings Time, Oracle recommends that you stop the servers before the time change and restart them afterward.
