How webreport work on DSA

Hi All,

we are planning to deploy DSA server. Just to need to know how to go ahead with webreports. Do we have to install on all servers ? Is Reporting DB will be also replicating ? How to access webreport in case failover ?

Also do we need info of console…? how console work in DSA…?

Thanks in advance…

Hello ashwani.singh,

If multiple copies of Web Reports are installed, they operate independently. Each Web Report server can connect to the server that is most convenient, because they all contain equivalent views of the database.

Please see the following doc: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSQL82_9.5.0/com.ibm.bigfix.doc/Platform/Config/c_understanding_replication.html

In the following doc you may find a diagram of a typical DSA setup:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSQL82_9.5.0/com.ibm.bigfix.doc/Platform/Config/c_understanding_replication.html

You may install WebReports with each Server or do a standalone install of WebReports (without a Server)
In case of failover you may connect to (or install) WebReports, that is talking to a backup Server.

Console may connect to any BES Server, you just need to change a hostname/ip before login.
You may have multiple Consoles connected to each DSA Server, so in case of failover you may connect Console to the backup Server.

Vitaliy
