Insight ServerThe Insight server is a document-oriented database (Apache Lucene Solr) that is used for Reports. The Insight Server software is included in the tomcat bundle. The Insight Server works in conjunction with and a web app (insight.war embedded in frevvo.war) to retrieve the information for the reports. Here is how it works:  Image Modified
- users initiate a form or a workflow process.
- The repository and the Insight server are updated with the information real time.
- The Insight service (insight.war) is a batch job that runs automatically on upgrade but can also be performed manually. The batch job takes the existing submissions and creates Solr documents for them.
- The Reports query the Insight Server.
| Tip |
|---|
Always use a fresh Insight instance for . Multiple databases should never point to the same Insight instance. |
