15.2.3.3 Enabling VIP1 in APPHOST1 and VIP2 in APPHOST2
The BI domain uses virtual hostnames as the listen addresses for the BI managed servers. You must enable the VIPs, mapping each of these hostnames on the two BI machines VIP1 on APPHOST1 and VIP2 on APPHOST2, and they must correctly resolve to the virtual hostnames in the network system used by the topology either by DNS Server or hosts resolution.15.2.3.4 Creating a Domain with the Administration Server and the First BI_ SERVER1 Managed Server
This section describes how to create a domain and the first WebLogic Server BI managed server using the Oracle Business Intelligence Configuration Assistant, Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console, and Oracle Enterprise Manager. Ensure that the database where you installed the repository is running. For Oracle RAC databases, all the instances must be running. Run the Configuration Assistant from the Oracle home directory to create a domain containing the Administration Server and the managed server with BI Publisher:1. Change the directory to the location of the Configuration Assistant:
APPHOST1 cd ORACLE_HOMEbin2. Start the Configuration Assistant:
On UNIX: Note: Oracle strongly recommends that you read the release notes for any additional installation and deployment considerations prior to starting the setup process. 15-88 Oracle Fusion Middleware High Availability Guide APPHOST1 .config.sh On Windows: APPHOST1 config.cmd3.

15.2.3.5 Creating boot.properties for the Administration Server on APPHOST1
This is an optional step for enabling the Administration Server to start without prompting you for the administrator username and password. Create a boot.properties file for the Administration Server on APPHOST1.1. Go to the following directory:
ORACLE_BASE productfmwuser_projectsdomainsbifoundation_domainservers AdminServersecurity2. Enter the following lines in the file, save the file, and close the editor:
username=Admin_username password=Admin_password15.2.3.6 Starting and Validating the Administration Server on APPHOST1
This section describes procedures for starting and validating the Administration Server on APPHOST1.15.2.3.6.1 Starting the Administration Server on APPHOST1 To start the Administration
Server on APPHOST1, run the following commands: APPHOST1 cd MW_HOMEuser_projectsdomainsbifoundation_domainbin APPHOST1 .startWebLogic.sh15.2.3.6.2 Validating the Administration Server verify that the Administration Server is
properly configured: 1. In a browser, go to http:APPHOST1:7001console. 2. Log in as the administrator. 3. Verify that the BI_SERVER1 managed server is listed. 4. Verify that the bi_cluster cluster is listed. 5. Verify that you can access Enterprise Manager at http:APPHOST1:7001em. Note: When you start the Administration Server, the username and password entries in the file are encrypted. For security reasons, minimize the time the entries in the file are left unencrypted. After you edit the file, start the server as soon as possible for the entries to be encrypted. 15-90 Oracle Fusion Middleware High Availability Guide15.2.3.7 Setting the Listen Address for BI_SERVER1 Managed Server
Perform these steps to set the managed server listen address:1. Log into the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console.
2. In the Change Center, click Lock Edit.
3. Expand the Environment node in the Domain Structure window.
4. Click Servers.
5. Select bi_server1 in the Names column of the table.
6. Set the Listen Address to APPHOST1VHN1.
7. Click Save.
8. Save and activate the changes.
The changes will not take effect until the BI_SERVER1 managed server is restarted.15.2.3.8 Disabling Host Name Verification for the BI_SERVER1 Managed Server
This step is required if you have not set up the appropriate certificates to authenticate the different nodes with the Administration Server. If you have not configured the server certificates, you will receive errors when managing the different WebLogic Servers. To avoid these errors, disable host name verification while setting up and validating the topology, and enable it again once the high availability topology configuration is complete. To disable host name verification: 1. Log into Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console.2. In the Change Center, click Lock Edit.
3. Expand the Environment node in the Domain Structure window.
4. Click Servers.
5. Select bi_server1 in the Names column of the table. The settings page opens.
6. Open the SSL tab.
7. Expand the Advanced section of the page.
8. Set Hostname Verification to None.
9. Click Save.
10. Save and activate the changes. 11. The change will not take effect until the BI_SERVER1 managed server is restarted.15.2.3.9 Starting the System in APPHOST1
This section describes how to start Node Manager on APPHOST1 and how to start and validate the BI_SERVER1 managed server on APPHOST1.15.2.3.9.1 Starting Node Manager on APPHOST1 Usually, Node Manager is started
automatically when config.sh completes. If Node Manager is not running for some reason, start it on APPHOST1 using these commands: APPHOST1 cd WL_HOMEserverbin APPHOST1 .startNodeManager.sh Configuring High Availability for Oracle Business Intelligence and EPM 15-9115.2.3.9.2 Starting and Validating the BI_SERVER1 Managed Server To start the BI_SERVER1
managed server and check that it is configured correctly: 1. Start the bi_server1 managed server using Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console, as follows:a. Expand the Environment node in the Domain Structure window.
b. Choose Servers.
c. Click the Control tab.
d. Select bi_server1 and then click Start.
2. Verify that the server status is reported as Running in the Administration Console. If the server is shown as Starting or Resuming, wait for the server status to change to Started. If another status is reported such as Admin or Failed, check the server output log files for errors 3. When BI_SERVER1 is started, the following URLs become available: ■ Access http:APPHOST1VHN1:9704wsm-pm to verify the status of Web Services Manager. Click Validate Policy Manager. ■ Access http:APPHOST1VHN1:9704xmlpserver to verify the status of the BI Publisher application.15.2.3.10 Prerequisites for Scaling Out the BI System on APPHOST2
