Goal

Not every application can run in a high-availability cluster environment, and the necessary design decisions need to be made early in the software design phase. In order to run in a high-availability cluster environment, an application must satisfy at least the following technical requirements:

• There must be an easy way to start, stop, and check the status of the application.
• The application must be able to use shared storage (NAS/SAN).
• The application must store its state on non-volatile shared storage and be able to restart on another node at the last state before failure (using the saved state from the shared storage).
• Application must not corrupt data if it crashes or restarts from the saved state.

ODI 11g and ODI 12c provide a complete set of components for designing, deploying and managing data integration processes. Data integration processes move and transform data from source data servers to target data servers, using an Extract-Load-Transform approach that eliminates the need for a transformation engine by delegating all transformations to the source and target data servers.

This document is intended to define what high-availability (HA) for Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) means, and how this could be configured.
