Multiple server deployment

Install the Oracle InForm software and the Reporting and Analysis module on multiple servers.

In a multiple server deployment, the Oracle InForm Server, the Cognos Analytics Server, and the study and reporting databases are on at least five separate server machines that conform to Oracle InForm hardware and software requirements.

For example, a multiple server deployment might include six server machines configured as follows:

• One Cognos Gateway Server machine.
• One Cognos server machine containing the:
  • Cognos Report server.
  • Cognos Content Manager server.
• One Oracle InForm Application server machine.
• One Oracle Directory Server machine.
• Two dedicated Oracle database server machines:
  • One for the Oracle InForm database and the reporting database.
  • One for the Cognos Analytics Content Store.

Note:

The Oracle InForm application server(s) and the Cognos Analytics application server(s) must be in the same domain.
