Hi,
I have two databases running on the same physical server. The OS is RHEL7.
Database A is 11.2.0.4 and is running as Active Data Guard. Database B is a
reporting database and is version 12.1.0.2. In the past, database A was running
on Solaris (four-node RAC) and we were using Oracle Streams to replicate over
400 tables from this particular database over to database B. We were also
replicating tables from multiple other databases to database B but that is
beside the point for this discussion. After we converted database A to LINUX,
we decided to keep database B as the front-end and created synonyms to access
tables from database A (ADG) using DB links. We have also setup IPC
communication between A and B assuming that IPC would be faster than TCP.
Unless I have misconfigured IPC, so far the performance of accessing database
from B-to-A over a DB link is abysmal. Before I ask users to start accessing A
directly instead of going through B, I wanted to understand the IPC
communication a bit better.
In my scenario where both databases reside on the same physical server, is
there a way to optimize access from B-to-A over a DB link?
Thank you,
Amir
