WebFOCUS Online Help > WebFOCUS Administration Console > Reporting Servers > Configuring Deferred Server Mappings

You can configure Alternate Server nodes for use with Managed Reporting Deferred Receipt feature.

For more information about Deferred Receipt, see the WebFOCUS Managed Reporting Administrator's Manual.

Deferred Receipt requests can be processed by using the immediate WebFOCUS Reporting Server (immediate Server) or by using an Alternate Deferred Receipt Server (Deferred Server) dedicated to running only deferred requests. The resources for the Deferred Server are managed independently from the immediate Server. The Deferred Server must have the same access to applications, data sources, and Master Files, and run in the same environment (for example, UNIX), as the immediate Server.

Note: If you use the WebFOCUS Reporting Server for MVS, configuration steps are required to use deferred requests. You must set up an alternate server or service to handle deferred requests and then configure the WebFOCUS Client to send requests to that server by setting up a deferred server mapping. For more information, see the WebFOCUS and ReportCaster Installation and Configuration manual for your platform.
