Installing a Single, Scaled-out Oracle Business Intelligence Instance on Multiple Computers

 How to scale out another OBIEE system with existing domain

In the series of OBIEE installation here I am going to discuss the Enterprise Management’s Scale-out option installation procedure.
To perform the scale out oracle business instance on multiple computer perform the following step
1)      Install the Standalone Oracle Business Intelligence Instances on one Computer called it as MASTER BI SERVER to know the procedure check the post "Enterprise Install with NEW BI SYSTEM option"
2)    Install the Enterprise install with scale-out option on another computer or we can say the system where we want to scale out the components of MASTER BI SERVER


To do the scale out on new system, need to run the OBIEE installation with enterprise install option. Before Proceeding to scaling the deployment to other servers, Please follow the following steps:

 1.Create a shared directory for the Repository Publishing Directory. The MASTER BI SERVER must have read and write access to this directory. All other Oracle BI Servers must have read access.
2. Use the Repository tab of the Deployment page in Fusion Middleware Control to designate the shared location for the Oracle BI repository

  
  
  

Sharing the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog
1. Create a network share for the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog on MASTER BI SERVER. All Presentation Services components in the cluster must have read and write access to this share.
2. Place the catalog on the network share.
3. Use the Repository tab of the Deployment page in Fusion Middleware Control to change the location of the Oracle BI Presentation Catalog to the shared location

Setting Up the Global Cache
1. Create a shared directory for the global cache MASTER BI SERVER. All Oracle BI Servers must have read and write access to this directory.
2. Use the Performance tab of the Capacity Management page in Fusion Middleware Control to set the Global cache path and Global cache size options.

Now Run the OBIEE installer on the second machine/Server

Fill the required fields with the below information
The host name and port number for the Administrator Server domain (Created using the Create New BI System option on Server 1)
The user name and password for logging to the Weblogic Administrator Server

 

 

just click on next and provide the security detail, once complete the installation follow the following steps:

1) Logged in to http://hostname:7001/em and 
2) Navigate over Business Intelligence->coreapplication->capacity Management->Scalability

Configure primary and secondary instance of the Cluster Control and Oracle BI Scheduler so that the primary and secondary instance of each component type are distributed across two different machines/Servers. Use the Availability tab of the Capacity Management page in Fusion Middleware Control to configure the primary and secondary instance of Cluster controller and BI schedules
