17.12.6 Editing the instanceconfig.xml File for Replication

For each instance of Presentation Services that contains a catalog to replicate, you must edit the instanceconfig.xml file for the following: ■ Enable replication. By default, the replication functionality is disabled for instances of Presentation Services. ■ Configure replication for a clustered environment. In a clustered environment, several instances of Presentation Services can share the same Oracle BI Presentation Catalog. For replication to work properly, you must: – Ensure that each instance of Presentation Services writes to its own log file to avoid concurrency issues. – Ensure that changes made by all instances are taken into account during import and export operations. ■ Specify the number of records to be kept in a replication log file. ■ Specify the time period in hours from which replication log files are to be read for replication operations. The following procedure provides information about configuration changes that you can make for replication. Before you begin this procedure, ensure that you are familiar with the information in Section 3.4, Using a Text Editor to Update Configuration Settings. To manually edit the settings for the replication of catalogs:
