See the following scenario depicting how to improve performance by splitting up the resource-intensive services of the APS.
Configuring the Adaptive Processing Server is important because it allows for optimal resource allocation and management within the BI Platform.
Creating additional Adaptive Processing Servers with dedicated services is known as splitting.
Splitting ensures that the server adapts to the specific needs and requirements of the BI system, optimizing performance and responsiveness.
For a production system, it is recommended to split the Adaptive Processing Server to meet your business requirements.
You can create additional APSs:
Run the System Configuration Wizard:
The wizard helps you with basic configurations of your BI platform system, including configuring APSs according to predefined deployment templates. Proper system sizing is strongly advised.
Use the CMC to manually create, clone and configure additional APSs.
When you create a new server in the CMC, you initially choose one of the services. Next, you are given the opportunity to select additional services for the new server, based upon server type.
The following table lists all the services that are hosted by the Adaptive Processing server.
