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

Hi

As Denis has mentioned then this has nothing to do with BusinessObjects per say, but there is other SAP clients who is doing something that you are asking for, and as Denis writes, this includes some sort of proxy or load balancer.

These can either be hardware or software bases, but in the end, you need to use only one URL for the servers eg. https://biserver/BOE/BI, and then have the reverse proxy or load balancer sent the traffic to either server1 or server2

In scenarios where the BI setup consists of multiple web servers (Tomcat) and multiple CMS servers, proxys / loadbalancers are used to distribute the requests, and that kind of setup is well documented in the SAP Community.
