Raj,

we have a java application that connects to the datawarehouse that is
currently setup on RAC but if for some reason one node fails, then we need
to recycle the whole application server as the connection pool goes
stale....Oracle product development stated that db links can't be failed
over.

No use beating the dead fish (or is it the cat..anyway). I have argued and
irated some folks here. we have made a decision and management wants to
move forward with it.

I really appreciate any help you could provide on converting RAC to a
single instance.

Thanks,
Murali.

our (forms) application doesn't fail over, but then we look at RAC for HA
.. the logic is like this ... if once instance goes down, then instead of
making all 1000 users unhappy, I just make 500 (estimate) of them unhappy,
and they can log back in and will work fine because 2nd instance is still
servicing. And luckily each instance can handle the load without breaking a
sweat.


Get my point?
Raj

Hello All:


We had purchased RAC to provide high availability of datawarehouse to our
customers. We later discovered that the way our application is designed,
and because database links are not failed over in the RAC environment, we
have decided to abondon RAC - atleast temporarily.


Could you please list all the steps required to convert RAC to a single
instance.


My understanding is that all we need to do is modify the initSID.ora to
comment out RAC specific parameters like
cluseter_database_instance
cluster_database
SID.instance_name
SID.instance_number
SID.thread
SID.remote_listener


What about the Oracle software? any changes required there?





Appreciate you help and suggestions in this matter.


Thanks,
Murali.
