Multiple tiers connecting to One server App

rbuser

Hi All,

To explain my problem:
I have many websites (IIS) running on my server, all of which want to run
Report Builder. Each of these websites also have their own database.

At the moment I am going to have to compile a different Server App for each
website's isapi.dll to connect to. Is there any way to have just a single
Server app that they all use ? One way I can think of is to use a different
port number for each instance ? Does that sound viable ?

Thanks.

Kind Regards,
Graham

A server application can only listen to a single port.

A server can contain multiple report volumes. Perhaps you can define a
separate ReportVolume on the server side that corresponds to each web site.
Have each webtier pass a different session parameter value to the server.
One the Server side filter the report catalog information by using the
ReportVolume.OnAuthenticateDirectoryAccess event.
