Configuring Reports Server for High Availability

2-18 Publishing Reports to the Web with Oracle Reports Services property name=CacheDir value=netmachine_nameusrstmp where, usrstmp is a shared location when Reports Server is running on different machines and has write privileges. Alternatively, you can specify the value for JOC Cache directory through Oracle Enterprise Manager: a. Navigate to the Reports Application Home page in Enterprise Manager.

b. From the Reports menu, select Administration Advanced Configuration.

The Reports Application Advanced Configuration page is displayed.

c. Locate the High Availability Parameters section in the content pane.

d. Enter a valid folder name in the Cluster Cache Directory field.

e. Click Apply.

For information about the JOCCacheDir and CacheDir properties new in Oracle Reports 11g Release 1 11.1.1, refer to Chapter 8, Configuring Oracle Reports Services . 4. Load the rw_server.sql file to a database this file is included with your Oracle Reports Services installation: ORACLE_HOME\reports\admin\sql This creates a schema that owns the report queue information and has execute privileges on the server queue API. 5. Restart the Reports Server. 6. Set the Environment variables TNS_ADMIN and ORACLE_HOME in the shell and start the node manager FMW_HOMEwlserver_ 10.3serverbinstartNodeManager.sh. This is required for the reports in-process server to connect to the database. For more information, see TNS_ADMIN . Note: ■ Along with JOCCache Dir, CacheDir can also be used for high availability for sharing the cache. ■ In a case where the in-process Reports Servers are running on different machines, the configuration can be done by sharing a folder to the other machine or user. For example, on Windows, configure the shared cache for both in-process Reports Servers by adding the following property to the cache element of each of the server configuration files: property name=JOCCacheDir value=\\host\shared where host is the machine where the shared folder is available, and shared is the folder name Note: You can use the System MBean Browser to add JOC Cache directory for the first time. The High Availability parameters section in Enterprise Manager is displayed only when the server is part of the HA cluster and the in-process server is running.
