Table 3-1 Core Components of the Architecture Diagram

Component	Functionality
Argus Web Console	The first piece of the application for configuring Oracle Argus Safety. Handles the following: - Enabling the BIP module - Supplying the necessary BIP security credentials and setting up the persist duration - Setting up the report template path
Argus Web	Provides the report configuration for ICH PSUR and CTPR reports. Supplies the criteria that generates the case series. The batch print screen runs either a legacy periodic report or a BIP report based on user selection. It also lets you generate or reuse already generated case series.
AG Service	Internally invokes the BIP Periodic report through WebServices and runs the report in the background.
Argus Database - BIP Schema	New schema created during the schema creation that holds all objects used for generating the periodic reports. The objects in the schema are responsible for generating the data needed.
BIP Server	Server where Oracle Analytics Publisher reports are located and executed. Report output is temporarily stored in the BIP server.

For more information on the Oracle Argus Safety Web Console, Oracle Argus Safety Web, and AG Service, refer to the Oracle Argus Safety User's Guide.

Note:

The Oracle Access Manager server, if chosen, also needs authentication.
