Setting up the cluster
The setup process for JReport Enterprise Server cluster falls into the following procedures:
- Set up the shared disk (disk array). If you do not want a shared disk, skip the step.
- Install JReport Enterprise Server on every target computer that will join the cluster, using the appropriate license key for cluster.
- Configure the clustered servers individually.
You should configure each server in turn respectively, starting from the admin server, then backup servers, and finally the slave servers.
Notes:
- All servers in a JReport cluster should be set up on one platform.
- To use the old result files in
<reporthome>\history, install the new JReport Enterprise Server to the same directory with a new license key, overriding the existing program files.
- In order to fax report set results successfully in a cluster, you need to configure the fax settings for both the admin server and backup server respectively according to your requirements.
