Setting Up Web Application Work via HTTP/2

HTTP/2 is the second version of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) protocol that supports simultaneous execution of multiple queries and uses binary data instead of text data, which speeds up data transfer and reduces consumption of operating system resources. By default, the browser interacts with the BI server, on which PP.SOM web service operations are executed, via the HTTP/1.1 protocol.

To ensure connection security, HTTP/2 is set up over the protected HTTPS connection. For details see the Setting Up Web Application Work via HTTPS section.

To set up HTTP/2, see the official documentation for the web server, on which the BI server is installed:

Apache2.
IIS. It is supported only with IIS 10.

When a BI servers cluster is used, set up HTTP/2 on the HAProxy/nginx balancer.
