Preparations

A database driver is required to connect to an Oracle database. This driver must be stored in the Platform Container. Follow these if Oracle was not set up during the installation of the Platform Container:

...

To make the Connection String text area and the Notification Service text field appear, select the General radio button. The Username, Password, and Database Type fields will remain.

If is If Image Added is installed with the Oracle database, the Oracle RAC functionality Fast Connection Failover (FCF) is available. supports Image Added supports FCF thus, the behavior from perspective expectation is that there will normally be some exceptions generated during RAC instance failover. When FCF is configured,  detects the system detects a lost connection, clears the database connection pool, and reinitializes the connection pool.

During a RAC instance failover, you might experience exceptions, for example, when database transactions such as updates and inserts are done. Database exceptions are logged in the systemthe system.

The Platform and Execution Contexts support the failover behavior. However, note that neither database collection nor forwarding agents support FCF. These agents have different types of database connection pool implementation.

SettingDescription

Connection String

In the text field, a connection string can be entered. The connection string can contain a SID or a service name. The string added will not be modified by the underlying system.

If a connection string is longer than the text area spaces a vertical scroll bar will be displayed to enable viewing and editing of the connection string.

Notification Service

Enter the Configuration that enables the Oracle Notification Service daemon (ONS) to establish a Fast Connection Failover (FCF).

The ONS string that you enter should at least specify the agent ONS configuration attribute, which is made up of a comma-separated list of host:port pairs. The hosts and ports represent the remote ONS daemons that are available on the RAC agents.
