I had referred to Active
GridLink for RAC in my blog yesterday and since then got several questions on this topic. So I decided to re-visit Active GridLink. With the release of version 11g,
Oracle WebLogic Server started to provide strong support for the Real
Application Clusters (RAC) features in Oracle Database 11g, minimizing database
access time while allowing transparent access to rich pooling management
functions that maximizes both connection performance and availability. WebLogic is the only application
server in the marketplace which has been fully integrated and certified with Oracle Database RAC
11g without losing any rich functionality. Active GridLink provides Fast Connection Failover (FCF), Runtime Connection
Load-Balancing (RCLB), and RAC instance graceful shutdown. With the key
foundation for providing deeper integration with Oracle RAC, this single data
source implementation in Oracle WebLogic Server supports the full and unrestricted
use of database services as the connection target for a data source.
