Shyam, I think the question for us is whether going Oracle RAC will give us scalability. From what Conny said it sounds as if we'd probably have a performance drop, as we are primarily read/write/modify. I've discussed this with our DBA, and he's done some investigation, and it turns out that Remedy is not truly Oracle RAC aware. This could also explain why I've had one of the developers ask if I've seen anything about Remedy 7.5 (hoping that its RAC aware???). Ta Dave

Not sure if this directly equates as Load Balanced Oracle environment. We have been on this setup for over a year and we have not seen any real issues so far.

Our current Remedy environment : - Hardware load balancer - 2 x ARS 7.0.1 Remedy servers running on Solaris - 1 x Oracle database server running on Solaris Looking to the future and scaling the application, we're looking at load balanced Oracle solutions (I've heard about an Oracle RAC - real application cluster?), and our DBA has stated that Remedy will not work against an Oracle RAC in a load balanced mode. Anyone on the list have experience of running Remedy against a load balanced Oracle cluster? Any case studies, or information to share?
