Tech Tip:  Target accounts in Oracle multitenant architecture

Question:

How do we manage target accounts that are sitting in containers in an Oracle multitenant architecture?  Oracle RAC.

 

Answer:

Oracle 11g release 2 introduced a feature:  SCAN.  Single Client Access Node.  

The Target Application is set up the same way, as if it were a single database, but on the customer side, they replace the Node Name with the SCAN name.

Single Client Access Name (SCAN) is an Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) feature that provides a single name for clients to access Oracle Databases running in a cluster.
