Using HP Serviceguard extension for Oracle E-Business Suite B.01.00, September 2010

package fails without getting an opportunity to execute the stop
sequence
then the APPS package will not be brought down. This happens when the
node
on which the DB package fails due to hardware errors or power outage,
for
example. The APPS package can survive for some time without the DB
package.
During this time, you will see one or more of the following messages
in the
package log file.
*** EBS APPS MONITOR *** Concurrent Processing is failing
*** EBS APPS MONITOR *** Fulfillment Server is failing
The APPS package will remain in this state for 10 iterations of the
monitoring loop. For a monitoring interval of 30 seconds, this will
result
in a maximum time of 5 minutes. If the DB package returns to the
running
state within this time interval, the APPS Tier will reestablish JDBC
connection with the DB Tier and both the packages will continue to run
in
normal state. This feature helps end users of applications to retain
their
http connections during failover of the DB Tier.
J. Using SGeEBS with Continentalclusters
Continentalclusters consists of two clusters existing at different
geograpic
locations. Each of these clusters provide high availability for
applications
at the local level at that particular site. For optimal performance
and to
assure adequate capacity on the recovery cluster, it is best to have
similar
hardware in both clusters.
Normally, an application (package) can run on only one node at a time
in a
cluster. However, in Continentalclusters, there are two clusters on
which
the primary package and the recovery package will be deployed. Both
the primary
and the recovery package must not be allowed to run at the same time.
To prevent
this, it is important to ensure that SGeEBS packages are not allowed
to start
automatically and are not started at inappropriate times. To keep
packages from
starting up automatically, when a cluster starts, set the AUTO_RUN
parameter
for all primary and recovery packages to NO. Then use the cmmodpkg
command
