Oracle VCS and BEA Weblogic

ARNIEK

Hi
We are planning to use Oracle VCS with one active and one in standby mode. The application server that needs to connect is WEBLOGIC App server version 9.2.3 using JDBC thin driver.

The harware is Red Hat Linux 5.

My questions are
1. Do we need to do anything more in terms of datasource configuration vis-a-vis use of Oracle RAC ( we need to configure mult-data source in oracle RAC).

2. How much time does it take for the secondary server to become active when the primary fails.

3. What happens to the in-flight transactions in the node that goes down.

Hi,

This is a very solution specific question, but I assume any app vendor advice can be handled by VCS (e.g. listener configuration, ...).

This again completely depends on the setup and the size of the environment. You should take a look at our SF-CFS product if you are really concerned about failover time.

Unfinished transactions need to be handled by the application. Usually they are rolled back completely.
