Hi Gurus, We are planning to propose a solution to avoid bottleneck on performance from reporting[Discoverer Reports] job runs on a database. As we are aware that with any High Availability Architecture, there will be single point of DB connection for any reporting job runs. We are thinking about 3 strategies to propose listed below. Can you please shed light on Advantages/Disadvantages of each approach based on your experience or any approach which can solve/address High Availability and Performance. 1) Data Guard – Pure Disaster Recovery Solution. Leverage Active Standby for Reporting purposes (Partial only for 100% read only reports) 2) Golden Gate Replication Technology to replicate Data Secondary site and using Secondary site for reporting purposes. 3) RAC – High Availability Solution with additional node to be used for Reporting purposes. 4) RAC – High Availability Solution with Golden Gate Replication Technology to replicate Data Secondary site real time for reporting purposes. Any HA/DR gains from this point? Your help will be really helpful in determining the best feasible approach. Thanks in Advance. Regards, Avadhani -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
