Configuring OCI for Transparent Application Failover

Transparent Application Failover (TAF) is a feature of the Java™ Database Connectivity (JDBC) Oracle Call Interface (OCI) driver. If you configure the adapter to use TAF, then the adapter can automatically reconnect to a secondary database instance if the original database connection fails.

About this task

During the reconnect process, the active transactions roll back.

To configure the Oracle adapter to use OCI, you must perform the following high-level steps in this sequence.

  1. Install the JDBC OCI driver. For detailed instructions, see Installing the JDBC OCI driver.
  2. Configure the OCI connection between the Oracle Database Adapter and the Oracle database, Configuring the OCI connection.
  3. Modifying the Oracle Database Adapter service form for OCI.
