Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) is an option of an Oracle database that brings together two or more computers to form a clustered database that behaves as a single system. In a RAC database, Oracle processes that are running in separate nodes access the same data from a shared disk storage.
jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=rac-node1)(port=1521))
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=rac-node2)(port=1521)))
(FAILOVER=on)(LOAD_BALANCE=on)
(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME=<service_name>)))
If a Oracle RAC node failover occurs, IBM Business Process Manager stops processing and you might need to restart all of the IBM Business Process Manager nodes. If you experience process-recovery issues, refer to Process recovery issues in certain situations in IBM Business Process Manager V7.5.
