Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Peter DiCamillo <>]

We're looking at the possibility of configuring Grouper so we can use 
database failover. We'd like to be able to keep Grouper up during 
database maintenance, and also in disaster recover situations. We use 
Grouper with an Oracle database and with tomcat. We also have some java 
programs which use the Grouper API and do not run under tomcat.

I don't have extensive knowledge of Oracle or jdbc, but some quick 
Google research suggests that this may be possible, and the recommended 
method involves using Oracle’s Fast Connection Failover mechanism.

Does anyone have experience with Grouper and database failover? Are 
there known reasons why it could or could not be made to work?
