Tomcat/Comnmons DBCP/Oracle RAC

Does anybody know if the commons pooling used in Tomcat will work with RAC 10g?
I've asked this question elsewhere but don't seem to be getting anybody who knows for sure.
My impression is that special coding would be required in the initialization of the datasource to use RAC and that commons DBCP does not do this.
Can anyone confirm or refute this?

I'm wanting to do this as well.
I've got a 10g RAC with two nodes. I only want fail-over. I don't want load balancing.
I'm using Tomcat 6.0.20 and DBCP for the DataSource.
Some of the stuff I've been finding in my searches has vaguely suggested that I would need to use an Oracle connection pool in order to get fail-over and DBCP can't be made to work. However, that suggestion is vague, and the references are old, and nobody seems to really know what they're talking about. Some people seem to know Tomcat/DBCP but not Oracle. Some people seem to know Oracle but not Tomcat/DBCP. Most people seem to be searching around in the dark like me. The search for information about this has been frustrating.
This is what I'm thinking:
url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(FAILOVER=ON)(ADDRESS_LIST=(LOAD_BALANCE=OFF)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=host1)(PORT=1521))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=host2)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=flvr)))"
The flvr service is set up for both nodes. Will this fail over properly?
Unfortunately, I don't have a test RAC that would allow me to see
what happens when I kill the preferred host (host1).

Updating Oracle BLOBs through Tomcat's DBCP

Hi, I've been using Tomcat's DBCP and I'm trying to cast my ResultSet to an OracleResultSet so I can use the getBLOB message. I've searched and realized I had to take part of it out of the wrapper, so I got the connection out of the wrapper using:
con = ds.getConnection().getMetaData().getConnection();which returned an OracleConnection. However, when I work through the rest of the code, it finally gets to:
BLOB filedata = ((OracleResultSet)oRS).getBLOB("filedata");and it dies with:
java.lang.ClassCastException: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleResultSetImplIf I connect using JDBC without the DBCP datasource, this code works fine. I'm not sure why I can't cast it to something I can use. Can anyone provide some insight on this? I've searched and searched for solutions and tried so many things, but nothing has worked so far aside from just connecting using JDBC.
The ResultSet is not a DelegatingResultSet, which had tripped me up originally. Once I removed the wrapper from the connection, it seemed to give me all the correct types (OracleConnection, OracleStatement, & OracleResultSetImpl), but I can't seem to use the OracleResultSetImpl.
Here's my method:
public static int store(InputStream in) throws SQLException,IOException {
        Connection con = null;
            Context initContext = new InitialContext();
            Context envContext = (Context)initContext.lookup("java:/comp/env");
            DataSource ds = (DataSource)envContext.lookup("jdbc/develop");
            con = ds.getConnection().getMetaData().getConnection();
        int id = 17;
        String sql = "SELECT file_id,filedata FROM super_files WHERE file_id = "+id+" for update";
        //sql = "SELECT file_id FROM super_files";
        Statement stmt2 = con.createStatement();
        System.out.println("stmt2 class: "+stmt2.getClass());
        ResultSet oRS = stmt2.executeQuery(sql);
        int key = 0;
        if (oRS.next()) {
/* this next line is where it dies */
            BLOB fileData = ((OracleResultSet)oRS).getBLOB("filedata");
               int bufferSize = fileData.getBufferSize();
                byte buffer[] = new byte[bufferSize];
                OutputStream os = fileData.getBinaryOutputStream();
                int bytesRead = 0;
                while ((bytesRead = in.read(buffer)) != -1) {
                    os.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
                in.close();
                os.close();
        oRS.close();
        stmt2.close();
        con.commit();
        return key;
    }

Java application (tomcat) and Oracle RAC 10gR2

Hi, I have an Oracle RAC 10gR2 (10.2.0.3) on Suse Linux Enterprise Server (3 nodes).
I have several application running on tomcat 5.X and tomcat 6.X with java 1.5 and java 1.6. Sometimes, because of hardware fail, network problems,... one of the nodes fails, and then the other 2 nodes still working and my database is up. However, the most of applications lose the connection with the database, and I must to restart the tomcat. I want to have a system more reliable and robust, and I want to prepare the tomcat's and java application for prevent it. I have read the http://drdobbs.com/java/222700353?pgno=1 and http://db360.blogspot.com/2007/01/is-your-java-application-failoverproof.html. I've been tried the example of the first url, but I don't connect with my database. However, I've probe the sample on another oracle rac (10.2.0.4) and it works. In the samples, it use the ucp.jar (11g) and ons.jar (10g) and ojdbc6.jar (11g driver).
Anyone can help me how can I configure my application for I must not to restart the tomcats??
Thanks you very much!!.

Load Balance Problem in Oracle RAC 10.2.0.4 (two nodes with CRS)

Hi all,
I have an Oracle RAC 10.2.0.4 with two nodes and I'm having problems with sessions load balance.
The problem is that all connections are going to the node which is enabled as 'master' in RAC, the node who has located .db resource in CRS.
If .db resource is located in node1 all connections are made in node1. In the same way, all connections are made in node2 when .db resource from CRS stack is located in node2.
The connections are made by a pool in Tomcat 6 using RAC service for made the connections.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.
Here is an example of my net configuration:
listener.ora in node1:
LISTENER_RAC_NODE1 =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node1_vip)(PORT = 1525)(IP = FIRST))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node1)(PORT = 1525)(IP = FIRST))
tnsnames in node1:
LISTENERS_RAC =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node1_vip)(PORT = 1525))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node2_vip)(PORT = 1525))
NODE1 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node1_vip)(PORT = 1525))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node1)(PORT = 1525))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = rac)
(INSTANCE_NAME = rac1)
RAC =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node1_vip)(PORT = 1525))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = node2_vip)(PORT = 1525))
(LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = rac)

It is my fault.
It was the connection service. I had one one with preferred option and one without it. Now is working well.

In oracle rac, If user query a select query and in processing data is fetched but in the duration of fetching the particular node is evicted then how failover to another node internally?

In oracle rac, If user query a select query and in processing data is fetched but in the duration of fetching the particular node is evicted then how failover to another node internally?

The query is re-issued as a flashback query and the client process can continue to fetch from the cursor. This is described in the Net Services Administrators Guide, the section on Transparent Application Failover.

I had this problem and resolved it by transporting the file to the installation server with the correct ftp datatype (binary).
On page 54 of the install guide (..Server\Oracle_Business_Intelligence\doc\doc\bi.1013\b31765.pdf) that comes with the installation files, there is an instruction to make sure that any ftp activity is done in binary.
This may not have occured with the license.xml file if you use a tool which offers the "feature" of automatic datatype recognition.
Hope this helps.

Oracle Upgrade from Oracle RAC 9.2.0.6 to Oracle 10.2.0.4

Hi All,
Currently, we are running 4 node Oracle RAC environment with below mentioned configuration.
OS: Sun Solaris 5.9
Hardware: Sun E2900
Oracle Version: 9.2.0.6
Veritas Cluster Server: 4.1
We want to upgrade Oracle version to 10g, and currently analyzing the options to perform this. The current database size is 1TB appx and we want to spend minimum application shutdown time running on this database.
As part of upgrade, we also need to upgrade Veritas Cluster Server from 4.1 to 5.1 to support Oracle 10g. It would be great help,, if someone can pass some guideline to perform this task.
We are currently thinking about piecemeal approach, where we can upgrade each node individually and then put them back to cluster. There are some complexities involved, and its really high risk approach.
Thanks a lot in advance for help
Regards,
Manoj

Orcale 10g RAC requires you to install Oracle Clusterware. Oracle Supports running it along side a 3rd party clustering software. Not sure why you're so anxious to upgrade Veritas Clusterware when it will be trivial on the 10g db hosts.

Try this. It worked for me.
Please keep in mind that you will need wait till each step finishes successfully before move to next one
For Step1 and 2, you can skip node(s) on which you didn't execute root.sh yet.
Step 1: As root, run "$GRID_HOME/crs/install/rootcrs.pl -verbose -deconfig -force" on all nodes, except the last one.
Step 2: As root, run "$GRID_HOME/crs/install/rootcrs.pl -verbose -deconfig -force -lastnode" on last node. This command will zero out OCR and VD disk also.
Step 3: As root, run $GRID_HOME/root.sh on all node one by one

Oracle RAC with ASM install failure

Hi Guy's
I've just rebuilt an Oracle RAC system, i've built this system many times and have the build documented. I usually follow the build doc to the tee and everything works fine. I have now been asked to rebuild the system to go into the production evironment. This is a two server standard RAC setup using ASM. We have a HP MSA500 shared storage setup. I've run the cluster verification tool and all the checks have come out fine. Whilst installing the clusterware i get a failed error message whilst it try's to confiure the Oracle Clusterware Configuration Assistant.
The error message i get is:
Command = C:\Windows\system 32\cmd\C Call E:\Oracle\Product\10.2.0\crs\install\crssetup.config.bat
PROT-1:Failed to intialize OCR Config
STEP 1 Checking status of CRS cluster
STEP 2 Creating directories (E:\Oracle\Product\10.2.0\Crs
STEP 3 Configuring OCR repository
ocr upgrade failed with (-1)
I've done this build many times and never seen this error. From what i've read on the internet it looks like it could be something up with my shared storage but i dont know what.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

ASM instances on 2 node Oracle RAC 10g r2 on Red Hat 4 u1

Hi all
I'm experiencing a problem in configuring diskgroups under +ASM instances on a two node Oracle RAC.
I followed the official guide and also official documents from metalink site, but i'm stuck with the visibility of asm disks.
I created fake disks on nfs with Netapp certified storage binding them to block device with the usual trick "losetup /dev/loopX /nfs/disk1 " ,
run "oracleasm createdisk DISKX /dev/loopX" on one node and
"oracleasm scandisks" on the other one.
With "oracleasm listdisks" i can see the disks at OS level in both nodes , but , when i try to create and mount diskgroup in the ASM instances , on the instance on which i create the diskgroup all is well, but the other one doesn't see the disks at all, and diskgroup mount fails with :
ERROR: no PST quorum in group 1: required 2, found 0
Tue Sep 20 16:22:32 2005

OIM 9.1.0.2 - Weblogic JDBC Multi Data Sources for Oracle RAC

Does OIM OIM 9.1.0.2 BP07 support Weblogic JDBC Multi Data Sources (Services>JDBC>Multi Data Sources) for Oracle RAC instead of inserting the "Oracle RAC JDBC URL" on JDBC Data Sources for xlDS and xlXADS (Services>JDBC>Data Sources> xlDS|xlXADS > Connection Poll> URL) ?
If yes, is there are any other modifications that need to be made on OIM, or just changing the data sources?

Yes, it's supported. You install against one instance directly of the Rac Server. Then you update the config.xml file and the jdbc resource in your weblogic server with the full rac address. It is documented for installation against RAC. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14049_01/doc.9101/e14047/database.htm#insertedID2

ORA-29701 DURING DATABASE CREATION AFTER APPLYING 9.2.0.6 PATCHSET
*** 03/25/05 07:32 am ***
TAR:
PROBLEM:
Customer applied 9.2.0.6 patchset over 9.2.0.4 patchset.
While creating the database, customer receives following error:
ORA-29701: unable to connect to Cluster Manager
However, if customer goes from 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.5 -> 9.2.0.6, the problem does not occur.
DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS:
It seems that the problem is with libskgxn9.so shared library.
For 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.5 -> 9.2.0.6, the install log shows the following:
installActions2005-03-22_03-44-42PM.log:,

For 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.6, install log shows:
installActions2005-03-22_04-13-03PM.log:, [libcmdll.so ->%ORACLE_HOME%/lib/libskgxn9.so 64274 plats=1=>[46] langs=-554696704=>[en]] does not exist.
This means that while patching from 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.5, Installer copies the libcmdll.so library into libskgxn9.so, while patching from 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.6 does not.
ORACM is located in /app/oracle/ORACM which is different than ORACLE_HOME in customer's environment.
WORKAROUND:
Customer is using the following workaround:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib make -f ins_rdbms.mk rac_on ioracle ipc_udp
