Connection Failover Properties

The following table summarizes the connection properties that control how connection failover works with the JDBC Client. Refer to the OpenAccess SDK Client Reference for details about configuring each property.

Table 24. Summary: Connection Failover Properties for the JDBC Client
Property	Characteristic
AlternateServers	List of alternate database servers. An IP address or server name and a port number are required for each server. The serverDataSource connection property is optional.
ConnectionRetryCount	Number of times the JDBC Client retries the primary database server, and if specified, alternate servers until a successful connection is established. The initial default is 0.
ConnectionRetryDelay	Wait interval, in seconds, between connection retry attempts when the ConnectionRetryCount property is set to a positive integer. The initial default is 3.
LoadBalancing	Sets whether the JDBC Client will use client load balancing in its attempts to connect to the list of database servers (primary and alternate). If client load balancing is enabled, the JDBC Client uses a random pattern instead of a sequential pattern in its attempts to connect. The initial default is false (client load balancing is not used).
