Configuring Embedded BI Publisher Server Group

To achieve the scalability, you can define a server group with multiple servers having the same server map data source and same port number.

In a defined server group, all the BI publisher kernels running on all the hosts will use a polling process to query for the next available job once they complete the assigned BI publisher job. When a particular kernel is assigned by the system to run a particular job, the job status is updated to X (Publishing).

To configure a server group, access the Embedded BI Publisher Server Group Configuration application (P95647).

1. Click Add.

2. In the Embedded BI Publisher Server Group Configuration form, enter an appropriate name in the field Embedded BI Publisher Server Group.

   Note:

   Make sure that the Embedded BI Publisher Server Group name is unique. If you enter an existing Embedded BI Publisher Server Group name, an error message is displayed.

3. Enter the Server Name as required. The Logical Data Source field populates automatically.

   Note:

   Make sure that the server map data source and port number is same for all the servers.

4. Click OK.
