Hi All,
I have setup a cluster with 2 Oracle 10g RAC instances hosted in rac1 and rac2 servers. I have a requirement to have my application server (hosted in Tomcat or WLS) to be configured to connect to Oracle OCM (hosted in proxy server). My applications are hosted in server1 and server2 machines. I want the connection pools on these app instances to connect to the RAC via the OCM. Can somebody Please guide me how I can achieve this?
I have configured my app to connect to RAC. The DB URL "jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(LOAD_BALANCE=ON)(FAILOVER=ON)(ADDRESS_LIST=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=10.1.40.44)(PORT=1521))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST
=
10.1.40.43)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=rac)(SERVER=DEDICATED)))" works perfectly fine.
In the proxy server, I have configured CMAN.ora file like this:
CMAN = (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=10.1.40.5)(PORT=1621))
CMAN_ADMIN = (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=10.1.40.5)(PORT=1650))
CMAN_RULES = (RULE_LIST =
(RULE = (SRC=10.1.30.3)
(DST=10.1.40.5)
(SRV=oraclerac)
(ACT=ACC)
))
CMAN_PROFILE = (PARAMETER_LIST=
(MAXIMUM_RELAYS=8) # Default is normally too small
(LOG_LEVEL=1)
(TRACING=NO)
(SHOW_TNS_INFO=YES)
(RELAY_STATISTICS=NO)
However, I am unable to configure my app to talk to RAC via OCM. Should I install Oracle client on the servers hosting my app instances and configure tnsnames.ora to point to RAC? How will the TCP connection initiated by my app instances be first routed to proxy server hosting OCM and then onto RAC? In this case, will the TCP connection initiated by my app be terminated at the OCM and OCM opens a new TCP connection? Please help.
Thanks,
Giri
