Deploy Maximo Birt Report in Tomcat

Hi all,

I'm new to BIRT development in Maximo. Would you mind telling me how to separate Maximo 7.1 server farm into 3 servers:
1. application server
2. database server
3. report server

in order to distribute processing of the requests into 3 servers instead of 2 servers (application server and database server).

Best regards

I think the best people to ask would be IBM. The requirements for 7.1 don't even mention another server for BIRT. Simply states it's embedded into Maximo on the one server.

I guess you would only need to look at this if the server is going to be HEAVILY used and have a HUGE number of intensive report requests every day.
Is this the reason you want to do this?

Thanks for your response..

I haven't deployed the server yet. Just anticipation of the load of the servers. I think it's more efficient if the report server is separated from maximo application server. But actually I haven't test the performance yet in the real condition...

Thank you.

The BIRT reports in Maximo 7.1 are BIRT version 2.1.2 and these will run on Actuate's iServer and iServer Express. A link is below for more info but this will allow you to offload the report processing to a dedicated server, plus gives you access to the Interactive Viewer letting the users modify the reports and the BIRT Report Studio for ad-hoc Maximo reports in the browser.<br />

Hi Vishal, here is a link that describes where the resources, like Libraries and images get uploaded to iServer Express.<br />
