Re: Service de-registration after switchover question

We have not implemented any fail-over triggers. It was my understanding that they were required pre-11.2, before the role attribute had been added to service config, but in 11.2.0.4 and later are not needed.

Services have been configured with the primary role on both platforms and as expected, after switchover the services are stopped on the new standby and started on the new primary. The applications are not TAF/FAN aware, so these tests assume for the time being that we are shutting down the apps (external connections) and restarting them after the switchover.

However, they are still registered, and we are wondering if it is our expectations or our configuration that is at fault.
