2.5.3.1 Configuring Oracle Enterprise Manager for High Availability

When High Availability is setup across two different domains in Oracle Enterprise Manager, you need to configure the Enterprise Manager settings. This enables both the domains to access the data from all the servers.

1. Navigate to your Domain Home Page in Enterprise Manager.

2. From the WebLogic Domain menu, select Security Credentials.

3. Select the Reports map and edit EMServerPasswordKey and enter a password.

4. Repeat the steps from one to three for the other domain and enter the same

password.

5. Restart the Enterprise Manager Agent in both the domains.

In ORACLE_INSTANCEbin of each domain .opmnctl stopproc ias-component=emagent_name .opmnctl startproc ias-component=emagent_name .opmnctl restartproc ias-component=emagent_name 6. Restart the Reports Server in both the domains. When you have finished configuring the Enterprise Manager settings for both the domains, the Enterprise Manager console monitors and manages jobs in the job queues of all the HA servers. 2-20 Publishing Reports to the Web with Oracle Reports Services 3 Verifying Your Installation 3-1 3 Verifying Your Installation After installing Oracle Reports 11g Release 1 11.1.1, read through the section in this chapter to verify you are ready to use Oracle Reports Services to publish your reports: ■ What’s New In This Release? ■ Understanding the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Structure ■ Verifying OOTB Installation ■ Verifying the Reports Server Environment ■ Confirming Security with Oracle Portal-Based Security ■ Upgrading from the Prior Release ■ Granting Access to RWbuilder 3.1 What’s New In This Release? Oracle Reports 11g Release 1 11.1.1 provides the installation and upgrade enhancements listed in Table 3–1 a subset of Table 1–1, 11g Functionality vs. 10g Functionality : Table 3–1 11g Install Features vs. 10g Functionality 11g New Features Equivalent 10g Functionality Flexible install types. In Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g, install type contains Oracle Reports, Forms, Portal, and Discoverer. In the installer, you can selectively install any one of these products or all of them. Predefined install types only. For example, you can not install Oracle Reports alone or Oracle Reports and Oracle Portal alone. Separate installation of binaries from configuration, allowing shared binaries across servers. Oracle Installer allows for install only and then configuration only as two separate steps.

3.2 Understanding the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Structure

In prior releases, Oracle Reports Services was installed in a single Oracle home ORACLE_HOME, including all files both binaries and configuration. Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 11.1.1 introduces the option to split installation into an Oracle home ORACLE_HOME and an Oracle instance ORACLE_INSTANCE to separate binaries from configuration, and allow shared binaries across servers. The new Oracle Fusion Middleware installation option provides several advantages: ■ ORACLE_HOME contains binary files, which can be shared across multiple ORACLE_INSTANCEs, reducing the footprint and management of each ORACLE_ INSTANCE. ■ It is easier to apply patches and maintain the binary ORACLE_HOME without needing to reconfigure. ■ Install of each ORACLE_INSTANCE is easier and lightweight. ■ Easier backup, restore, and cloning. ■ Support for Reports-only install. For complete information about the new installation structure, including how to create a new Oracle instance, refer to Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide.

3.3 Verifying OOTB Installation

Make sure Oracle Reports components are created out-of-the-box OOTB, and are available and ready to use after installation and configuration in the following way: ■ Using Oracle Enterprise Manager
