Business objects URL redirection

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want to understand how the URL redirection works in SAP Business Objects.

Prod Environment --> https://server1/BOE/BI

DR environment --> https://server2/BOE/BI

If above two URL's are production and DR environments.If production is down and users trying to access https://server1/BOE/BI it should be redirected to DR BI https://server2/BOE/BI

May i know how we achieve this issue.

Thanks,

Vikram

This has nothing to do with Business Objects or SAP.
Business Objects will not redirect any URL's.
Please read on DNS resolution, Web servers and Proxies. "How do URL's get redirected" in the Wiki.
Those are the concepts that are required.

In basic terms, a network systems administrator tells load balancer or proxy to stop sending requests to URL A and start sending them to URL B. Or this process is automated via capability of a load balancer/web server/proxy in use.
