FAN or TAF for application switchover/failover?

edited Aug 8, 2019 6:03PM in High Availability Data Guard, Sharding and Global Data Services (MOSC) 6 commentsAnswered

We are running Oracle 12.1.0.2 RAC on Active DataGuard environment (2 Physical Standby databases - all RAC).

We can easily switchover/failover the database via dgmgrl.

We are looking how to setup application failover/switchover to follow database switchover/failover.

Most of our applications connect to Oracle via OCI. Few of them via JDBC.

What is the best solution to set application switchover/failover for this environment? I am aware that there are few options (like FAN and TAF).

Any recommendation/documentation for those that have already set application switchover/failover in similar environment?

Thanks in advance, Brad.

Howdy, Stranger!
