Failover question

Hi,

I am implementing a standby database to be used as a failover in the event that a primary database goes down. Both databases are on Oracle 8.1.7 and the application that is accessing them will be BEA weblogic 6. Weblogic uses what it calls multipools which are sets of database connection pools which are used in order, in other words if pool 1 is unavailable, pool2 will be used. Pool 1 can be pointed to one database and pool 2 to another.

My Problem is that I originally thought I would be setting up the entire failover so I figured I could use a standard standby databse and take care of redirecting to the new host in the event of a failover, but since weblogic will be automatically looking to the new connection I need to have the data available in both places. I understand that replication in the true sense is quite complicated. Does anyone know a more simple way? Received on Wed Oct 03 2001 - 01:42:46 CEST
