Before you set up the high availability environment, verify that your system meets the following prerequisites:
It is recommended that the
B2B Data Exchange
repository is on a high availability database, such as Oracle Real Application Clusters.
The high availability environment includes a clustered file system, such as Global File System (GFS) or Veritas Cluster File System (VxCFS ).
The cluster consists of two active
B2B Data Exchange
server nodes.
The PowerCenter real-time workflows are active and running.
A load balancer is installed, such as the F5 Load Traffic Manager or the Apache HTTP Server. For the F5 Load Traffic Manager, we recommend creating sticky session profiles with cookie persistence or source address affinity persistence.
The clocks on all
B2B Data Exchange
nodes are synchronized to within 30 seconds of each other. Use the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize the clocks.
Both cluster nodes are installed in the same physical location. Geographically distributed nodes are not supported.
