Hi! Mark,

Great information … thanks!
-Quick question if you have the time…
-I installed BI Publisher BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.1 on the same sever as Discoverer standalone AS 10.1.2.3
–Discoverer stopped working
… can’t find any reference to this being a problem or what the fix might be … any ideas?

Thank you in advance for you consideration

My Best!

Mark

Mark,

I am following your deployment specs with some minor changes. I am deploying to a clustered Weblogic environment and performing a copy in the Source Accessibility section. Then I am going into the xmlp-server-config.xml file and changing the file path accordingly.

I received the “xdo repository” exception and am stuck.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Brad

Hi Mark,
You don’t have to deploy as “xmlpserver”, but if you do, you have to update the web.xml file. There is an item in the BIP Release Notes on this, titled: Manual Deployment of BI Publisher Application to Different Context than “xmlpserver” Requires Additional Configuration.
Thanks,
Leslie

Hi Kaus

The template builder worked fine for us (client was Windows XP, server was RHEL5), but we originally deployed the application as /bip and had to change it back to /xmlpserver before the Template Builder would connect to it. It seems that /xmlpserver is “hard coded” as the application context into the Template Builder.

Hey Mark,

We have xmlp deployed in weblogic 10.3. The web works perfectly however you just cant get the template builder to work with the xmlpserver. It is able to connect but it just hangs and you cant get the place-markers or open the reports.

Please update if you have better luck with this.

Thanks
