Defining Service Locations

A service location is a computer where one or more external processing engines or IDEs used by are installed. You must register each service location by defining it.

Note:

• Before defining a service location or services for use with Oracle Business Intelligence visualizations, read Setting Up Oracle Business Intelligence Visualizations.
• The Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub installation process automatically creates one service location with one normal-priority PL/SQL service with three instances allowed, for internal use. This enables batch processing and many functions in Oracle LSH Definition.

To define a Service Location:

1. In the Administration tab, click the Service Locations subtab.
2. Click Create Service Location. The Service Location screen opens.
3. Enter values in the following fields:
   • Location Name. Enter a name for your service location.

     Note:

     • For processing engine services including XML Publisher and SAS, this name must match (including case-sensitivity) the service location name defined in the DP Server Start script that you run on the computer that corresponds to this defined service location; see Starting the Distributed Processing Server Service. When you run the script, you pass the actual values required to identify the physical location.
     • For OBIEE Service Locations where the BI Server is not installed, the name is very important. See Setting Up Oracle Business Intelligence Visualizations for details on OBIEE services.
   • Description. Enter additional information about the service location.
   • Machine. Enter the name of the computer that contains the location. This is for your own records; it has no effect.
   • Max Simultaneous Jobs. Enter the maximum number of jobs that this location should handle at the same time, across all services of all technology types.
4. Click Apply. The system creates the Service Location definition and returns you to the View Service Locations screen. (In Oracle LSH 2.4.8, the DP Server Status field always displays the status "Running.")
