Distributed server deployment
In a distributed server deployment, the InForm Application Server, the Cognos Report Server, the Cognos Content Manager Server, the Cognos Gateway Server, the Oracle Directory Server, and the study and reporting databases are on separate server machines that conform to InForm hardware and software requirements.
For example, a distributed server deployment might include at least eight server machines configured as follows:
- One InForm Application server machine.
- One Cognos Gateway Server.
- One Cognos Report Application Server.
- One Cognos Content Manager Server.
- One Oracle Directory Server machine.
- Two dedicated Oracle database server machines:
- One for the InForm database instance and the reporting database instance.
- One for the Cognos Analytics Content Store database instance.
