Can we have both Tomcat and IIS server enabled for single BusinessObjects Enterprise application and both being used simultaneously ?
The reason I’m asking this question is because, we have 2 BO servers dedicated to 2 different clients. One has default Tomcat-server whereas other is using IIS.
We are planning to put both the client on same server sharing same BO-application.
The problem is that we have our own customized applications built over various java SDK provided by BO which will not work on IIS server. Hence, If I can have both Tomcat and IIS, we’ll be able to use those customized applications as well.
You can have both IIS and Java(Tomcat) up till XIr2 installed and enabled on the same server and use either of them.
Though the same is not possible in XI 3 as its still on Java(IIS version supposed to be released later this year)
Not adviseable
Why would anyone want to run dual web application servers on one physical server?
If you want to scale vertically rather use multiple instances of Tomcat etc
De-pairing is possible in XI 3.0 - IIS used as the WEB server and Tomcat as the APPLICATION server - used in certain installation instances for Firewall and Authentication implications.
I’d tend to recommend Apache as an HTTP server instead of IIS …
Hello Haider,
We are using XIR2 release and would be migrating to XIR3 soon after couple of months.
Hi Mike,
As mentioned in my earlier post, I want dual web application servers for compatiblity of java-sdk based application.
I couldn’t found any other workaround.
Are there any major/minor issues of having dual web application server on one physical server?
I think that the biggest problem that I see around this topic is a basic misunderstanding of how to approach this.
I recently mailed Robert Horne - author of Choose_the_right_SDK to discuss this very issue as his presentation highlights the method one should adopt in selecting your underlying architecture.
Sure - one typically wants everything - and in a development or R&D type environment, yes, it would be feasible to explore all options - with the understanding that you could deal with .Net / Java and ye old COM.
Use the SDK map to determine your options and if you really have to use the .Net AND Java options - have a very detailed discussion with your architecture guys as you will probably want to spread across more than one server.
Production has enough issues with performance - and we’re already seeing the new XI 3.0 having issues with one instance of Tomcat running - why compound server performance?
do you guys know whether it is possible to have Single Sign-On for both Java and .NET version of InfoView where IIS server and Tomcat server sit on the same machine? I can configure SSO separately but have problems when configuring both servers to work together.
