Is a clustering licence required for using In-Memory replication?

Question

          Hi,
          Could you please tell me if it is possible to use In-Memory replication
          without a clustering licence? (With WebLogic 6 on Linux with eval.
          licence.)
          I ask, because the documentation states that it can be used with
          HW load-balancing devices. If that is the case, how do you configure
          replication without configuring a WebLogic cluster (since you already
          have a HW LB cluster!).
          Regards,
          Frank Olsen
          

Answer 1

Okay, so then the advice to contact your BEA account rep for a clustering eval
          license is correct.
