Web Servers

Although web application servers come with built-in web server functionality, BusinessObjects Enterprise also supports the separation of web and web application servers into a de-paired configuration. In a de-paired configuration, the web server serves static and cached content to offset a portion of the requests sent to the web application server. A web server may also support a reverse proxy configuration to improve site security.

The BusinessObjects Enterprise installer does not automatically deploy the InfoView or CMC web applications to a de-paired environment. Web application tools must be configured manually using the bundled wdeploy utility to split the static and dynamic content so that each can be separately deployed to the web and web application servers.
