1.3.1.2 A Single Host and Simple Install

The architecture for the Simple Install type is similar to that of the Enterprise Install type, with the differences that are outlined in the following list: ■ The Node Manager is not installed. ■ All components that are part of the Managed Server in an Enterprise Install type are instead part of the Administration Server. The Managed Server is not installed. Figure 1–2 illustrates the Oracle Business Intelligence system architecture on a single host for a Simple Install type.

1.3.2 Oracle Business Intelligence on Multiple Hosts

If you perform an Enterprise Installation, then Oracle Business Intelligence can be installed and configured on multiple hosts. Figure 1–3 illustrates the system architecture on two hosts. Figure 1–3 Oracle Business Intelligence System Logical Architecture Two Hosts In Figure 1–3 , the Java components WebLogic server domain and the system components BI instance are clustered on each host as part of the single BI domain. The Administration Server exists on both hosts, but is only active on one host in this example, Host 1.
