Parallel Concurrent Processing Failover uses two mechanisms to detect a failure, dead connection detection, and detecting a failure of the process monitor for the Concurrent Managers, otherwise known as PMON (note that this is not the PMON from the database); introduced with Patch 6495206. Load balancing of the Concurrent Managers is critical if you expect parallel concurrent processing to function after the failover to the remaining node(s).

This presentation reviews Concurrent Manager basics before we discuss the topics of failover and load balancing. One of the key components used by Concurrent Processing is Generic Service Management. The use of GSM with multiple nodes and seeded GSM services is discussed. Administering Concurrent Managers, managing control across nodes, starting and stopping the Concurrent Managers, and managing concurrent log files are skills needed to understand the configuration of Parallel Concurrent Processing failover and load balancing.

There are a number of ways that an E-Business Suite environment might be configured for failover:

• Database
• Fast Connection Failover (FCF)
• Transparent Application Failover (TAF)
• Parallel Concurrent Processing Failover
• Concurrent Manager Failover

This presentation discusses Parallel Concurrent Processing Failover, ICM Failover, CRM Failover, and Concurrent Manager Failover. We'll leave the discussion of Database Failover, Fast Connection Failover and Transparent Application Failover for another time. The presentation concludes with a discussion of load balancing and the issues that must be considered to properly configure an E-Business Suite environment to take advantage of Oracle's load balancing features.
