Usage
Both Oracle and SAP support database server failover in Oracle
Version 8.1.5 or later and Adaptive Server 12 or later. For information
about how to configure failover for these database servers, see
your Oracle or Adaptive Server documentation. To avoid losing your PowerBuilder database connection
(as the result of a timeout) when a failover takes place, set the SvrFailover
parameter so that PowerBuilder recognizes and participates in the database
server failover.
Oracle also allows you some control over the failover process.
Three additional parameters allow you to specify the number of times
you want the database server to which you are connected to attempt
a failover, how long to wait between failover attempts, and whether PowerBuilder should
display a runtime dialog box indicating when a failover occurs.
This parameter cannot be set dynamically. The value set when
the connection is made remains in effect until it is disconnected.
Examples
To tell PowerBuilder to recognize and participate in
failover:
-
Database profile
Select the Allow Server Failover check box on the Network
page in the Database Profile Setup dialog box. -
Application
Type the following in code:
1SQLCA.DbParameter="SvrFailover='Yes'"
