Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RAC, TAF, ... do they really work?
Hi guys.
This is a question
As far as I know, RAC enables a database to work in a cluster mode, making it to a node crash. The client connections attached to the dead node are lost, however, unless you configure the connections for TAF. The TAF mode rollbacks any transaction on the fly, giving an error. If you develop your code with TAF in mind, you can catch this error and re-run the transaction by means of the TAF reconnection. But, if you have tons of lines of code in tens of legacy applications, what can you do to take advantage of this stuff?. Is this technology, in its current status suitable for this scenarios?. Does it provide any benefit?
