Hi Friends,

I have researched a bit on fail-over options with Oracle 11G R2 RAC on RHEL 5.4 ( two node)

TAF can be configured in server side or client side. I think there is some limitation in configuring FAILOVER_MODE= PRECONNECT in server side [ID 460982.1], where it supports only BASIC at the moment. I would also like to have an expert recommendation on which configuration to use BASIC / PRECONNECT. I am also confused as whether I should use TAF / FCF . I saw a few materials describing configuration and tests for FCF on jdbc layer, wondering if there is someway to setup FCF in server side ?

After all, which one is better - FCF / TAF ?

I could not see any recommendation from for Oracle for this, Or Am I missing something here ?

Thank You,

Kind Regards,
Sreejith Nair
