  7. Field Value
    Label A name for the app, such as Oracle Hyperion app.
    Public Domain A fully qualified host name like <yourexternalname>.<your domain>. In this example, this is obiee.externalexample.com.
    Protected Web Resource The URL of the internal, protected app. This example uses obiee.internalexample.com:<port>. This port is where Oracle BI Enterprise Edition listens for HTTP requests. See Configure load balancing.
    Group Enter the group containing the users who are granted access to the app.

    Post Login URL

    By default this field is enabled and contains the value https://obiee.externalexample.com/analytics/
    Description Optional. A description for your app.

Configure load balancing

Only use Access Gateway as the load balancer. See Load balancing.

  1. Expand the Protected Web Resource tab.
  2. Enable Load Balancing By Access Gateway. A table of hostnames and weights representing the target load-balancing instances appears. This table is initially empty. Click the Edit icon to modify an entry in the table, or click the Delete icon to delete an entry.
  3. Choose either HTTP or HTTPS as the URL scheme. Each protected web resource that you add inherits this scheme.
  4. Optional. Enable and enter the Host Header value.
  5. Complete the following steps to add a host. Repeat these steps as required:
    1. Click Add protected web resource.
    2. Enter a fully qualified hostname:port combination, like for example, https://backendserver1.atko.com:7001.
    3. Enter a weight from 1 to 100. Enter 0 to specify that a host is disabled.

      Weights represent the percentage of requests that are routed to this host. For example, two hosts of weights 2:1 result in requests being routed approximately 66% to the host weighted 2 and approximately 33% to the host weighted 1.

    4. Click Okay.

  6. Optional. Configure health checks. They use GET operations to confirm that back-end resources are functional. New requests aren't routed to resources that have been labeled unhealthy by the health checks.

    1. Enable Load Balancer Health Check.
    2. Click Edit to modify health check settings.
    3. Modify the settings as required.
      FieldValue

      PathThe URI path to the resource used in the health check./
      MethodThe HTTP method used in the health check.Always GET
      Status codeThe HTTP status code used to determine health.200
      IntervalThe interval between health checks in seconds.10
      Request timeoutThe health check request timeout in seconds.1
      Healthy thresholdThe number of requests that must succeed before a host is considered healthy.3
      Unhealthy thresholdThe number of requests that must fail before a host is considered unhealthy.3
