It has been said that a chain is as strong as its weakest
link. Well, this is also true for your application infrastructure. Not only are
the various components that constitute your infrastructure, like database and application
server critical, the integration between these things [whether coming out of
the box from your vendor or done in-house] is paramount. Imagine your database
being down and your application server not knowing about it and as a result
your application waiting indefinitely for a database response – not a great situation
if high availability is critical to your application. Or one of your database
nodes is very busy, but your application server doesn’t have the intelligence
to decipher that – it keeps pinging the busy node when it can in fact get a
response from another idle node much faster. This is what Oracle WebLogic and
Database integration provides: Intelligent integration out of the box. Tight integration between Oracle WebLogic and Database
makes your infrastructure robust enough that not only does each of your
infrastructure component provide you with improved RASP [reliability availability,
scalability, and performance] but these components work together to offer improved
performance & availability, better resource sharing, inherent scalability,
ease of configuration and automated management for your entire infrastructure. Oracle
WebLogic Server is the only application server with this degree of integration
to Oracle Database.
With Oracle WebLogic Server 11g, we introduced Active GridLink
for Real Application Clusters (RAC). In conjunction with Oracle Database, this
powerful software technology simplifies management, increases availability, and
ensures fast connection failover with runtime connection, load balancing and
affinity capabilities. With the release of Oracle Database 12c this summer,
even tighter integration between Oracle WebLogic Server 12c (12.1.2) and Oracle
Database 12c has been achieved and this further optimizes the integration for a
global cloud environment.
Read about these capabilities in detail in the Oracle
WebLogic-Database Integration Whitepaper. Get in depth ‘how-to’ details from
this YouTube video on the topic from our resident expert, Monica Roccelli.
