Dear community, I would like to know if you can guide me. We installed Oracle Forms 12.2.19 in OCI from scratch. OS: Linux 8. Oracle WLS: 12.2.1.4
Two-node HA cluster. Node 1 is the primary one, where you are running the AdminServer. When we are going to configure the Oracle Reports service, according to various notes and forums:
-
We usually configure multicast as a broadcast method for in-process reports in clusters. But this would not work for most Cloud services, including OCI. A suggested alternative is to use a third-party product (e.g. swXtch.io), which in addition to generating an extra licensing cost, it is not clear to us if it is supported by Oracle.
-
The other alternative is to configure and use NamingServices, but as is known, due to the nature of NamingServices it is not suitable for clusters.
So, as I said, we have our cluster environment in OCI, and we find that node 2 (secondary node, WITHOUT AdminServer) multicast works perfectly. But on node 1 (where the AdminServer runs) it does not work, and we only manage to detect the ReportServer through Multicast. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thank you very much in advance.
