Oracle 10g R2 Real Application Cluster

INTRODUCTION

Oracle 10g R2 Real Application Cluster (RAC) is an option offered with the Oracle 10g R2 Database Enterprise Edition (10.2.0.1). Following are the benefits of implementing the RAC option: RAC is a shared cache architecture that overcomes the limitations of the traditional shared nothing and shared disk cluster solutions. RAC software is designed to provide a highly scalable and available database solution for business applications. RAC allows a large number of transactions to be separated onto many machines for fast parallel execution. RAC provides high throughput for large workloads and scales incrementally for growing user populations.
Test Objectives

The desired results of this test are to evaluate, document, and publish the information gathered that will address how to install, implement, and configure Oracle 10g R2-RAC software with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 8.96. There are two main areas of functionality that will specifically be addressed: scalability and availability. Scalability is addressed by determining EnterpriseOne softwares ability to use the load balancing features of Oracle 10g R2-RAC. The load balancing specifics are outlined below. Availability is addressed by determining the ability of EnterpriseOne to use the fail-over features of Oracle 10g R2RAC. The fail-over specifics are outlined below. Due to time and resource constraints, this project was completed using only Linux based environments for database, application, and enterprise servers. The objective is to determine the interaction of EnterpriseOne with Oracle RAC software. This test produced EnterpriseOne user experience information that we believe is relevant to other operating systems and physical hardware platforms. In the future, if additional testing is performed with Oracle RAC, a different operating system and set of hardware will be used, and the results added to this document.
Red Hat Linux Test Environment

Testing was conducted using the following: EnterpriseOne 8.96 GA with 8.11-SP-1

Oracle 10g R2 (version 10.2.0.1) database software with the Real Application Cluster (RAC) features installed Oracle Cluster File System Oracle Cluster Ready Services Oracle Application Server and Oracle Automatic Storage Management on HP Proliant with Red Hat Linux 3.0 Update 6 Installation prerequisites, suggestions, and examples are shown to help implement the RAC environment. The EnterpriseOne software functionality, behavior, and end user experience observed during test scenarios is explained. This establishes the baseline for EnterpriseOne 8.96 GA configured with the Oracle RAC software. Proper installation and configuration methods are identified to insure successful implementation of the Oracle RAC option. We use common installation processes that mirror the steps you use to implement the software on this platform. This paper can be used by technical users, installers, system administrators, and programmers who implement, maintain, or develop applications for your EnterpriseOne system. However, this paper does not address every configuration variable that might be encountered in this process. The information was gathered while testing the Oracle 10g R2 RAC environment. Not all possible hardware and software combinations were tested. Your system may show different results. When RAC is used with EnterpriseOne you should create a RAC environment using the Oracle 10.2.0.1 version of Database Software. As newer versions are released, additional testing will be conducted and the results noted in an updated version of this document.

REQUIREMENTS Cluster Hardware Requirements

A cluster is a group of independent computers working together as a single computer. A cluster is composed of two or more computers, called cluster members, which are connected using one or more physically independent networks called cluster interconnects. Cluster members use one or more shared buses to access the shared storage system. Todays clustering technology is designed to keep server-based applications running, even when an individual component fails.

Cluster Software Requirements

Cluster software (either running on Oracle or the operating system) links the cluster members together so they function as a single computer. The shared bus storage is usually an external storage device that is used by the cluster software to store files that are accessible to all cluster members. Storage can be either a set of unformatted shared disk devices, also referred to as raw devices, or a shared file system, also referred to as a cluster file system. Vendors usually supply a utility that can partition the external shared hard disks into multiple raw devices. Each raw device can function as an Oracle data file and is available to all members in a cluster. For this test, the Oracle Cluster File System and Oracle Cluster Ready Services were used as the cluster software to interconnect the nodes. Oracle Automatic Storage Management was also implemented as the disk management software.

Oracle Requirements

Oracle 10g R2 RAC is an option of Oracle 10g R2 that harnesses the processing power of multiple, interconnected computers in a cluster. All software, including operating-system-specific cluster software that is required by Oracle 10g R2 RAC, must also be installed on each cluster member, except when using an Oracle cluster file system. The main difference between Oracle 10g R2 and Oracle 10g R2 RAC is that RAC is a multi-Oracle-instance environment that uses cluster software to communicate between different Oracle instances on cluster members. Therefore, using multiple Oracle 10g R2 RAC instances can be functionally identical to using a single Oracle 10g R2 instance.

APPLICATIONS TESTED WITHIN ENTERPRISEONE EnterpriseOne Fastpath Reference

The following applications were used for testing. These applications show how EnterpriseOne reacts with the Oracle 10g R2-RAC software in different circumstances, and we observed that each application reacts in its own way. Not every application could be tested in this project. If you implement Oracle 10g R2-RAC, perform similar tests using the applications specific to your companys. The specific test results should be documented before you activate the Production environment.

LOAD BALANCING RAC OPTION Load Balancing Options

There are two types of load balancing: client based and server based. Client based load balancing is enabled by setting load_balancing=on in the tnsnames.ora file. Client load balancing enables clients to randomize requests to multiple listeners. This load balancing is connection based, and the connections are assigned to instances at random. If you don't set up load_balancing in the tnsnames.ora file, the default load_balancing is based on CPU utilization and is called server based load_balancing.
Load Balancing Simulation

LoadRunner software was used to generate many JD Edwards EnterpriseOne user connections. The test suite of scripts that are usually run for the benchmark test process were used to simulate the work performed by these users.
Load Balancing Observations

For our test observations we used the Client load balancing method. This method made the process easier to observe, and determine if the appropriate files were configured correctly. The Oracle 10g R2-RAC Load Balancing feature worked very well. When the necessary EnterpriseOne kernel database connections needed to be established, each of the database nodes were used. As additional users were added to the test, additional connections were established across each of the database nodes. At no time during the test was there an observed imbalance on either database node.

FAIL-OVER RAC OPTION Fail-Over Explanation

Clients that connect to any instance of the database use the net service name entry for the database. This entry also enables Oracle Enterprise Manager to discover a Real Application Clusters database. A listener address is configured for each node that runs an instance of the database. The load_balance option causes Oracle to choose the address randomly. If the chosen address fails, then the failover option causes the connection request to fail over to the next address. Thus, if an instance fails, clients can still connect using another instance. Failover=on is set by default for a list of addresses. Thus, it isn't necessary to explicitly specify the failover=on parameter.
Fail-Over Simulation

During our tests, we simulated database node failures by shutting down the database using the database command shutdown abort. This test allowed a controlled shutdown of the database and was least destructive to hardware and software. Also, by doing the failure simulation this way, we could simulate what happened when this database was restarted.
Fail-Over Observations

The Oracle 10g R2-RAC Fail-Over option yielded different results depending on the application tested. When a specific test was conducted, the results were documented and compiled into the behavior summaries in this document. Although full use of the fail-over features provided within RAC can not be tested, there were some applications within EnterpriseOne that work well. To fully utilize the Oracle 10g R2-RAC Transparent Application Fail-over (TAF) features, EnterpriseOne must be enhanced to include coding to specifically interact with the TAF features of Oracle-RAC.
EnterpriseOne Enterprise Server Fail-Over Behavior

The EnterpriseOne Enterprise Server was able to utilize the fail-over feature and was able to re-establish the necessary database connections for the kernels immediately or upon request when needed. No observable delay was visible to the user. At no time during any of the fail-over testing did the EnterpriseOne Enterprise Server need to be stopped and restarted due to a database failure.
Web Client Fail-Over Behavior

Following is a high level explanation of the observed fail-over behavior when the Web client was tested. No predictable behavior is observed from the client. The following results describe the user experience observed during the testing. The summary explanations below are each unique. There may not be substantial differences between them but the user experience was different so a slightly different explanation is provided. The results indicate a success or failure of an application to work with Oracle 10g R2-RAC database software features when a database node fails. Note that all the tested EnterpriseOne applications function properly when running in an Oracle database RAC environment. EnterpriseOne behaves exactly as if running on a single Oracle database instance. EnterpriseOne

only malfunctions when one of the RAC nodes fail. Any user or process accessing the failed node is affected by the failure. This failure may or may not be a user friendly experience. Each of the tests below is associated with the corresponding user experience.
Fail-Over Behavior Summaries RESULT 1 Test 1. Address Book Entry - fastpath 3/G01

When the database was forced to fail, the user did not get any indication that the RAC node failed. The only visual indication observed after the failure was that no address book number was shown on the screen when the OK button was pressed. If the user did not notice this behavior, many entries might be made then later realize that none of the entries is actually saved. If users exit from the application but stay logged onto the same EnterpriseOne session, they can reopen the application but it will not be able to function correctly. However, the application is restored when users exit the application, log off EnterpriseOne, close the Explorer window, and then start a new EnterpriseOne session. All entries made before the failure were saved in the database and had address book numbers assigned to them. In summary, this application did not have a user friendly experience during a RAC node failure.
RESULT 2 Test 2. Address Book Report UBE fastpath 3/G0121

This UBE is a query type batch process that generates a report. During processing, when the database was forced to fail, the runbatch process automatically re-established its connection with the remaining running RAC database nodes and the UBE continued to process. The processing time was about twice as long, but the expected report was produced in its entirety. This operation did have a user friendly experience during a RAC node failure.
RESULT 3 Test 3. Test 4. Test 5. Test 8. Sales Order Entry fastpath 3/G4211 Standard Voucher Entry fastpath 3/G0411 Supplier Ledger Inquiry fastpath 16/G0411 Trial Balance Ledger Comparison fastpath 22/G0912

Test 10. Summary Availability fastpath 15/G41112

During this entry type process, when the database was forced to fail, the user did not get any indication that the RAC node failed. The input process continued after the failure without any interruption or abnormalities. After exiting from the entry application, a query was performed, and EnterpriseOne reported every entry and line as successfully completed. This included all entries made before the failure as well as all entries completed after the failure.

Oracle 10g R2 Real Application Cluster (RAC) with EnterpriseOne Page 10

Overall these applications gave a user friendly experience during a RAC node failure.
RESULT 4 Test 6. Standard Receipts Entry fastpath 5/G03B12

During this entry type process, when the database was forced to fail, EnterpriseOne displayed an error indicating that the Next Number was not obtained. This occurred because a database connection could not be made to assign the next number. The EnterpriseOne session must be exited and a new session established for work to continue without errors. The work performed before the failure was saved, but the current entry made during the failure was not saved. This application failed to function correctly during the RAC node failure, but the user was notified of the problem, although wasnt given details. This result was more user friendly and did not waste a lot of the users time.
RESULT 5 Test 7. Test 9. Journal Entry fastpath 2/G0911 Inventory Adjustments fastpath 65/G4111

During this entry process, when the database was forced to fail, the user did not get any indication that anything was wrong. The input process continued after the failure and appeared to be working correctly. When the operation was finalized, such as by pressing the OK button, an error window appeared and notified the user that there was a problem with the entry. When a search for the entered data was conducted, no data was found from before or after the database failure. To continue without errors, the EnterpriseOne session must be exited and a new session established in order. This was an undesirable user experience. The user was not aware of the failure until finalizing the entry, which might occur after entering many lines. At this point, the user discovered that the inputted data was not accepted. In addition to the loss of entered data, the users time was lost.

RESULT 6 Test 11. Purchase Order Entry fastpath 3/G43A11

During this entry process, the user did not receive any indication of error when the database was forced to fail. The input process continued and it appeared that everything was working correctly. When the operation finalized (such as by pressing the OK button), the process appeared to complete successfully. No error window appeared and no interruption to the current session was encountered. There was no indication that the RAC node failed. When a search for the entered data was conducted, no data was found from before or after the failure. To correct the problem, the EnterpriseOne session had to be exited and a new session started.

Oracle 10g R2 Real Application Cluster (RAC) with EnterpriseOne Page 11

This user experience was the worst possible. The user was not alerted to the failure, and had no way to know that data was not being entered into the database. The user could potentially lose a lot of time entering data before discovering the problem. In addition to the loss of entered data, the users time was lost.
RESULT 7 Test 12. Print Pick Slips Batch UBE fastpath 4/G4211

During the processing of this type of batch query (which generates Pick Slips), the runbatch process automatically re-established its connection with the remaining running RAC database node and the UBE continued to process. The UBE appeared to continue running, and the job status did not change or indicate a problem. After 30 minutes, the job was terminated. No data was produced from the job that was running. When investigated, we discovered that no database connection was made and the process could not connect to the table and assign the next number. Within the same session, the job was submitted again, which ran without end until the process was terminated. To correct the problem, the EnterpriseOne session had to be exited and a new session established, then the job had to be resubmitted. This operation did have a user friendly experience during a RAC node failure.
PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATIONS Preliminary Recommendations

The following preliminary recommendations are based on the test results described in this document. Further testing will be conducted and the results will be published. Overall the EnterpriseOne Applications tested worked well with the Oracle 10g R2-RAC database software. It has been proven that EnterpriseOne software will function equally well when used with the Oracle database RAC option installed on multiple nodes, or on a single machine with a single instance of the Oracle database software. An advantage of using the Oracle 10g R2-RAC database option is realized when evaluating the load balancing feature. This option of the RAC software enables the database connections to automatically balance across each of the database nodes. The load balancing method implemented may be a client-based or server-based load balancing method. Either method works well; each individual site should evaluate the utilization of the RAC nodes and implement the method that works best for them. Specific performance results were not gathered in the scope of this project. As described in the Fail-Over Behavior Summaries section of this paper, the user experience varied depending on the application being tested. The RAC fail-over feature performed better than expected with some applications but also provided a less than acceptable user experience with others. The RAC fail-over features are not expected to work as well as the RAC load balancing feature due to the fact that EnterpriseOne software has not been specifically written to take advantage of the RAC fail-over features. The load balancing feature does not require any specially written code to function correctly. The EnterpriseOne Services that run on the Enterprise Server are necessary to allow all aspects of EnterpriseOne to function. These services establish database connections that allow users to utilize the EnterpriseOne software.

The user tasks can include log on security verification, interactive application navigation, and submitting batch UBE jobs. While performing the fail-over part of this project, the EnterpriseOne Services were able to maintain the necessary database connections to allow EnterpriseOne to continue functioning. If the Services were connected to the failed RAC node, their current connection was lost. When the Services were called upon by EnterpriseOne they would re-establish a new connection to the surviving RAC node. As the RAC nodes were repeatedly forced to fail the EnterpriseOne Services continued to re-establish database connections without any user interaction to manually restart the services. This highlights how well EnterpriseOne Services work with the Oracle RAC fail-over feature. EnterpriseOne interactive clients and batch processing UBEs produced various results that were not consistent across the EnterpriseOne applications tested when the RAC node fail-over occurred. If Oracle 10g R2-RAC is implemented, users must be aware of the normal EnterpriseOne application interactive behavior and be very observant to visual differences that might indicate a node failure has occurred. When the Oracle database RAC option is implemented a data verification process needs to be previously defined, tested, and accepted as a reliable method to be able to check the integrity of the data that was being accessed when the RAC node fail-over occurred. The methods implemented to perform this data integrity check may be an automated job, a manual interactive user process or a combination of both that every company implementing RAC must decide on how to best perform this check. Administrators that implement the RAC option must have a method of monitoring the nodes so they can be notified when a failure occurs. The Oracle Enterprise Manager does include a variety of methods to notify administrators based on user defined values depending on what is important to each company. If the administrator knows that a RAC node has caused a fail-over to occur and the reason why, the administrator can then notify the users and tell them about the specific problem so the users will be able to check the data integrity. In summary, Oracle 10g R2-RAC worked with EnterpriseOne 8.96 GA software. There are EnterpriseOne improvements that have been noted, will be addressed, and possibly made available in future EnterpriseOne releases to take full advantage of the Oracle Database RAC options offered.

Initialization Parameter File

For this test, the Initialization Parameter File was used to easily make changes and track modifications to configure and control the database. The SPFILE was created from the pfile and mutually shared between the two nodes. The values in these files were used to perform our tests. Due to the scope of this test, there were no performance configuration tests performed. The values used allowed our environment to function in conjunction with the specific hardware used. These settings will not be justified or defended as the perfect set of values for numbers in all environments. These settings produced satisfactory results in our system, but may not be optimal for your system. These are the settings used in this test to produce results that we were satisfied with at the conclusion of the test. Everyone must configure their own systems to meet their own needs and equipment. As with a single Oracle instance configuration, the values used in the initialization files are very dependant on the hardware used, as well as the actual work performed with the EnterpriseOne system.
