Oracle BI Publisher Cluster / HA

Hi, We are trying to install BI publisher 10.1.3.3.3 on Weblogic 9.2 app server on Solaris 9 OS as a clustered(weblogic cluster) app. We did follow the instructions in the manual but we get the following exception when we try to activate the application.
xdo.server.config.dir = null

Sunny update link which you followed to deploy BIP on weblogic cluster

Hi , I got it resolved. I went through the code and found that the xmlpserver-confix.xml was not getting parsed correctly . Then i verified with my team on how they were deploying it. I found that while updating the xml file there were adding adding a tag of file. They were commenting the prev file tag but using the unix comment and not xml :)..Thanks for your help

Vasavi,
How is BI Publisher (earlier XML publisher) implemented ?

Is this standalone BI Pub (which apps server) ?
With OBIEE ?

Do you want to integrate it with SSO of Oracle Access Manager and not 10g AS ?

Hi Atul,

I implemented the BI publisher like selecting the Basic installation anf on OC4J container. Ans i didn’t implemented Bi on any APps Server.

I want to protect the BI Pub with OAM and if Authorization is success it has to automatically login.

I done this scenario for the Analytics. like already i have done the OAM on IIS and i installed the another Webgate on APache. I created the one policy to protect the the Analytics and i redirected the APache url to OC4J usinf proxy module..i createde the impersotor user.. i succeed in this way…

May i know that is there any same way to protect the BI Pub what i did above without installing the Apps server all the things..

Thanks & Regrds

HI Atul,

For the BI publisher High Avilability I have seen the steps mentioned above and i have few queries on them .

As per your steps do we need to install the BIPublisher twice on each application server?
Can I not install the BI Publihser once only on a clustered environment of the App server?
Did you face/any known issues in installing this way?

Hello

I have a problem logging into BI Publisher Desktop.
When I click the login bar in word I get this
Compile error Hidden module: UserForm_ProgressBar

what is the problem?

Hi Atul,

When iam trying to connect Oracle BI Publisher Data source Demo,its giving
“Could not establish connection ”

how i can configure oracle jdbc driver to make this conneciton Please suggest

Thanks,Shailesh

Hi Atul,

We have Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.0.
The issue we experience is that our Server is running on 99% of 4Gb memory all the time. We are unable to see any “non-essential” processess that are running & taking up the memory.
Usually,
the system stops rendering reports… giving the error that “The report has no data”. A server bounce solves this for a couple of hours.

Please suggest a resolution.

Tx.

@ Eugene,
Either 4 GB memory is not enough for your applicatuion or their is memory leak in your BIP application.

Run java analyser tool (like jconsole) to monitor JVM and garbage collection cycle.
