I get this question asked frequently, that can we deploy two RPDs to OBIEE servers?
Straight answer to that is no we cannot, however the workaround is to build two BI stacks if there is a need. For example, HR and Finance teams might have different RPD for security reasons. In most of these cases, there will also be a need to have separate development or maintenance teams. Thats why two BI stacks will make sense. In rest of the cases, a multi user development env (MUD) might be enough.
Hi Arun,
ReplyDeleteWe can also have 2 instances running on the same server machine to achieve this right?

Yeah, we can. Normally we do vertical scaling to add more processes to same installation / rpd. In this case you will have to install new middleware home
ReplyDeleteDo you need to have two BI licenses to have two instances?
ReplyDeleteAnswer depends on which license the company has purchased - cpu based or user based.
DeleteIn case of CPU based, additional license will be required, in case of user based, only distinct IDs matter.
Thanks Arun!
