Tuning multi data sources – surviving RAC node failures

The multi data source default configuration doesn't provide the best settings for surviving an Oracle RAC node failure properly.

This recipe tunes the ds-XA-rac01 and ds-XA-rac02 data sources and the ds-XA multi data source.

Getting ready

Access the Administration Console to tune the data sources parameters. Make sure the ds-XA-rac01 and ds-XA-rac02 data sources and the ds-XA multi data source were created in the previous recipe and that the Administration Server is running.

How to do it...

To set the multi data source configurations, complete the following steps:

  1. Access the Administration Console with your web browser at http://adminhost.domain.local:7001/console.

  2. Click on the Lock & Edit button to start a new edit session.

  3. Click on the plus sign to open the Services tree on the left, and then click on Data Sources.

  4. Click on the ds-XA link to open the multi data source configuration page.

  5. Check the Failover Request if Busy checkbox and type...
