Marco Sarti [https://community.jboss.org/people/msarti66] created the discussion "XADatasource and Oracle RAC - Load Balancing" To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/777458#777458 -------------------------------------------------------------- JBoss 4.2.3 GA - Oracle 11g RAC We have configured a XADatasource pointing to an Oracle RAC. When we get the connection from this datasource we do not obtain any load balancing, in other words every time we ask for a connection we obtain a connection to the same RAC node. How can we configure the DS in order to have a load balancing on the RAC nodes? Following the datasource configuration: <jndi-name>jdbc/xxxxxxxx</jndi-name>     <track-connection-by-tx/>     <isSameRM-override-value>false</isSameRM-override-value>     <xa-datasource-class>oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource</xa-datasource-class>         <xa-datasource-property  name="URL">jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(protocol=tcp)(host=rac-scan)(port=xxx))(LOAD_BALANCE=YES)(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVE R=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=dbname.domain)))</xa-datasource-property>     <xa-datasource-property name="User">XXXXXX</xa-datasource-property>     <xa-datasource-property name="Password">YYYYYY</xa-datasource-property>     <min-pool-size>0</min-pool-size>     <max-pool-size>60</max-pool-size>     <idle-timeout-minutes>2</idle-timeout-minutes>     <blocking-timeout-millis>30000</blocking-timeout-millis>         <!--sql to call when connection is created-->         <new-connection-sql>select 1 from dual</new-connection-sql>         <!--sql to call on an existing pooled connection when it is obtained from pool-->         <check-valid-connection-sql>select 1 from dual</check-valid-connection-sql>     <!-- Uses the pingDatabase method to check a connection is still valid before handing it out from the pool -->     <!--valid-connection-checker-class-name>org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.vendor.OracleValidConnectionChecker</valid-connection-checker-class-name-->     <!-- Checks the Oracle error codes and messages for fatal errors -->     <exception-sorter-class-name>org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.vendor.OracleExceptionSorter</exception-sorter-class-name>     <!-- Oracles XA datasource cannot reuse a connection outside a transaction once enlisted in a global transaction and vice-versa -->     <no-tx-separate-pools/> -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/777458#777458] Start a new discussion in Datasource Configuration at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
