As an indication of how the Oracle BI 12c environment was installed and what scaled-out servers have been included in the post-installation configuration, the Servers page provides great insight into the current state of the infrastructure. No matter what installation type you choose, the AdminServer (admin) will always be found in this list. The Oracle BI 12c installation is always considered an Enterprise installation. Previous versions of Oracle BI, such as 11g, had installation concepts such as Software Only or Simple Installations, but these do not exist in the installation of Oracle BI 12c. As Oracle BI 12c is configured during the installation and configuration process, you should expect to see the bi_server1 managed server in this WLS Servers list as well:
- Expand the Environment node under the
bidomain in the navigation pane. - Click on the Servers link.
- Click on the
bi_server1managed server name, which is a link to its specific configuration page:
- Notice the many tabs and options available to you on the Settings page for
bi_server1. The Configuration | General, Keystores, and SSL sub-tabs, and Monitoring tab are where most of the advanced configuration for the Oracle BI 12c managed server will take place. - On the General tab, you can see a position where the ability to change the default port numbers for Oracle BI 12c analytics exists. Often, Oracle BI customers change these ports, but technically they should be using an HTTP server tier with software such as OHS, Apache, or IIS, which are better options if you need a different port number to access the Oracle BI portal.
Next, let's talk about the WLS domain cluster for Oracle BI 12c.
