Setting Up the Distributed Processing Server

You must install the Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub Distributed Processing (DP) Server on each computer where you installed an external processing engine and also on the computer where you have installed XML Publisher.

The following steps are required:

1. Install the Distributed Processing Server. See "Install the Distributed Processing Server" in the Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub Installation Guide.
2. Copy files. See "Copy and Edit Files" in the Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub Installation Guide.
3. Define Service Locations and Services; see Defining Service Locations and Defining Services
4. Edit the files. See "Copy and Edit Files" in the Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub Installation Guide.
5. Start the DP Server. See Starting the Distributed Processing Server Service.

When you start the DP Server code you must specify a location for DP server log files. You may need to read and analyze these log files if problems occur with jobs run on external servers. Instructions for creating appropriate directories for this purpose are included in the Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub Installation Guide.
