Uploading and Sharing the Oracle BI Repository

Scaling Your Deployment 5-7 To scale Oracle Business Intelligence system components: 1. Go to the Business Intelligence Overview page, as described in Section 2.2.2, Using Fusion Middleware Control to Manage Oracle Business Intelligence System Components. 2. Display the Scalability tab of the Capacity Management page. Click the Help button on the page to access the page-level help for its elements. 3. Click Lock and Edit Configuration to allow changes to be made. 4. Change the number of BI Servers, Presentation Servers, or JavaHosts using the arrow keys. If you have scaled out the Oracle BI System on a new host using the Enterprise Install option or the Configuration Assistant, then the number of system components configured on that host is zero. Add system components on the new host to complete the horizontal scale-out operation. To vertically scale the system components, increment the number of each component to be greater than 0 for a given host. 5. A default port range is assigned automatically for use by the components within the given Oracle instance. Note that Oracle BI Scheduler and Cluster Controller component processes in this instance are also assigned ports within this range, in addition to the BI Server, Presentation Services, and JavaHost component processes. Typically, you can keep the default port range. If necessary, enter a different range of ports available using the Port Range From and Port Range To arrows, or enter a value directly.

6. Optionally, for Listen Address, you can enter the DNS name or IP address for the

components in the given Oracle instance to use to listen for incoming connections. Typically, you can keep this element blank the default value to indicate that the components should listen on all available local interfaces.

7. Click Apply, then click Activate Changes.

8. Return to the Business Intelligence Overview page and click Restart.

The changes are automatically written to the corresponding configuration files, and the new processes join the cluster. For information about using methods in the Oracle BI Systems Management API to scale out components, see Chapter 22, Introducing the Oracle BI Systems Management API.

5.6 Validating That Your System Has Been Scaled Correctly

You can use Fusion Middleware Control and the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console to verify the status of the scaled-out components. This section contains the following topics: ■ Section 5.6.1, Using Fusion Middleware Control to View System Component Availability ■ Section 5.6.2, Using the Administration Console to View Managed Server Availability 5-8 System Administrators Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition

5.6.1 Using Fusion Middleware Control to View System Component Availability

You can use Fusion Middleware Control to view the status of all system components in your deployment. To view status for system components: 1. Go to the Business Intelligence Overview page, as described in Section 2.2.2, Using Fusion Middleware Control to Manage Oracle Business Intelligence System Components.

2. Display the Availability tab of the Capacity Management page.

On this page, you can: ■ View the status of all configured system components ■ View the host, Oracle instance, and port where the each system component is currently running ■ Start, stop, or restart individual system components ■ Start, stop, or restart all system components of a particular type ■ Start, stop, or restart all processes Click the Help button on the page to access the page-level help for its elements. Figure 5–2 shows the Availability tab of the Capacity Management page, with status information displayed in the System Components Availability table. Figure 5–2 Availability Tab of Capacity Management Page in Fusion Middleware Control

5.6.2 Using the Administration Console to View Managed Server Availability

You can use the Administration Console to view the status of all Managed Servers in your deployment. To view status for Managed Servers: 1. Log in to the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console.

2. Select Environment, then select Servers to go to the Summary of Servers page. On

this page, you can see any Managed Servers that were added on new hosts in your deployment. Figure 5–3 shows the Summary of Servers page.
