Onsctl
Onsctl这个命令是用来管理ONS(Oracle Notification Service)是OracleClustser实现FAN Event Push模型的基础。
Oracle Notification Service (ONS)--A
publish and subscribe service for communicating Fast Application Notification (FAN) events.
在RAC环境下,须要使用$CRS_HOME下的ONS,而不是$ORACLE_HOME下的ONS,这点须要注意。
配置文件位于$CRS_HOME/opmn/conf/ons.config。

Configuring ONS for Fast Connection Failover
In order for Fast Connection Failover to work, you must configure ONS correctly. ONS is shipped as part of Oracle Database 11g.
This section covers the following topics:
ONS Configuration File
ONS configuration is controlled by the ONS configuration file, ORACLE_HOME
/opmn/conf/
ons.config
.
This file tells the ONS daemon details about how it should behave and who it should talk to. Configuration information within ons.config
is defined in simple name and value pairs. There are three values that should always
be configured within ons.config
. The first is localport
, the port that ONS binds to on the localhost interface to talk to local clients. An example of thelocalport
configuration
is the following:
localport=4100
The second value is remoteport
, the port that ONS binds to on all interfaces for talking to other ONS daemons. An example of the remoteport
configuration
is the following:
remoteport=4200
The third value specifies nodes
, a list of other ONS daemons to talk to. Node values are given as a comma-delimited list of either host names or IP addresses plus ports. Note that
the port value that is given is the remote port that each ONS instance is listening on. In order to maintain an identical file on all nodes, thehost:port
of the current ONS node can also be listed in the nodes list. It will
be ignored when reading the list.
The nodes listed in the nodes line correspond to the individual nodes in the RAC instance. Listing the nodes ensures that the middle-tier node can communicate with the RAC nodes. At least one middle-tier node and one node in the RAC
instance must be configured to see one another. As long as one node on each side is aware of the other, all nodes are visible. You need not list every single cluster and middle-tier node in the ONS config file of each Oracle RAC node. In particular, if one
ONS config file cluster node is aware of the middle tier, then all nodes in the cluster are aware of it.
An example of the nodes configuration is the following:
nodes=myhost.example.com:4200,123.123.123.123:4200
There are also several optional values that can be provided in ons.config
.The first optional value is a loglevel
. This specifies the level of messages that should
be logged by ONS. This value is an integer that ranges from 1
, which indicates least messages logged, to 9
, which indicates most messages logged. The default value is 3
.
The following is an example:
loglevel=3
The second optional value is a logfile
name. This specifies a log file that ONS should use for logging messages. The default value for logfile
is$ORACLE_HOME
/opmn/logs/ons.log
.
The following is an example:
logfile=/private/oraclehome/opmn/logs/myons.log
The third optional value is a walletfile
name. A wallet file is used by the Oracle Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to store SSL certificates. If a wallet file is specified to ONS, it will use SSL when
communicating with other ONS instances and require SSL certificate authentication from all ONS instances that try to connect to it. This means that if you want to turn on SSL for one ONS instance, then you must turn it on for all instances that are connected.
This value should point to the directory where your ewallet.p12
file is located. The following is an example:
walletfile=/private/oraclehome/opmn/conf/ssl.wlt/default
One optional value is reserved for use on the server-side. useocr=on
is used to tell ONS to store all Oracle RAC nodes and port numbers in Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) instead of in the ONS configuration
file. Do not use this option on the client-side.
The ons.config
file allows blank lines and comments on lines that begin with the number sign (#
).
Client-Side ONS Configuration
You can access the client-side ONS through ORACLE_HOME
/opmn
. On the client-side, there are two
ways to set up ONS:
Remote ONS configuration
See Also:
ONS daemon on the client-side
Example 26-1 illustrates how a sample configuration file may look.
Example 26-1 Example of a Sample ons.config File
# This is an example ons.config file
#
# The first three values are required
localport=4100
remoteport=4200
nodes=racnode1.example.com:4200,racnode2.example.com:4200
After configuring ONS, you start the ONS daemon with the onsctl
command. It is the user's responsibility to make sure that an ONS daemon is running at all times.
Using the onsctl Command
After configuring, use ORACLE_HOME
/opmn/bin/onsctl
to start, stop, reconfigure, and monitor the
ONS daemon. Table 26-1 is a summary of the commands thatonsctl
supports.

Server-Side ONS Configuration Using racgons
You can access the server-side ONS through ORA_CRS_HOME
/opmn
. You
configure the server-side by using racgons
to add the middle-tier node information to OCR. This command is found in ORA_CRS_HOME/bin/racgons
.
Before using racgons
, you must edit ons.config
to set useocr=on
.
The middle-tier nodes should be configured in OCR, so that all nodes share the configuration, and no matter which Oracle RAC nodes are up they can communicate to the middle-tier. When running on a cluster, always configure the ONS
hosts and ports not by using the ONS configuration files but usingracgons
. The racgons
command stores the ONS hosts and ports in OCR, where every node can see it. That way, you do not
need to edit a file on every node to change the configuration, just run a single command on one of the cluster nodes.
The racogns
command enables you to specify hosts and ports on one node, then propagate your changes among all nodes in a cluster. The command takes two forms:
racgons add_config hostname:port [hostname:port] [hostname:port] ...
racgons remove_config hostname[:port] [hostname:port] [hostname:port] ...
The add_config
version adds the listed host name(s), the remove_config
version removes them. Both commands propagate the changes among all instances in a cluster.
If multiple port numbers are configured for a host, the specified port number is removed from hostname
. If only hostname
is
specified, all port numbers for that host are removed.
Other Uses of racgons
You should run racgons
whenever you add a new node to the cluster.
Remote ONS Subscription
The advantages of remote ONS subscription are the following:
Support for an All Java middle-tier stack
No ONS daemon needed on the client computer and, therefore, no need to manage this process
Simple configuration using the
DataSource
property
When using remote ONS subscription for Fast Connection Failover, the application invokes the following method on an OracleDataSource
instance:
setONSConfiguration(String remoteONSConfig)
The remoteONSConfig
parameter is a list of name and value pairs of the form name
=
value
that
are separated by a new line character (\n). name
can be one ofnodes
, walletfile
, or walletpassword
.
This parameter should specify at least the nodes
ONS configuration attribute, which is a list of host
:
port
pairs,
each pair separated by comma (,). The hosts and ports denote the remote ONS daemons available on the Oracle RAC nodes.
See Also:
SSL could be used in communicating with the ONS daemons when the walletfile
attribute is specified as an Oracle wallet file. In such cases, if thewalletpassword
attribute
is not specified, single sign-on (SSO) would be assumed.
Following are a few examples, assuming ods
is an OracleDataSource
instance:
ods.setONSConfiguration("nodes=racnode1.example.com:4200,racnode2.example.com:4200"); ods.setONSConfiguration("nodes=racnode1:4200,racnode2:4200\nwalletfile=/mydir/Wallet\nwalletpassword=mypasswd"); ods.setONSConfiguration("nodes=racnode1:4200,racnode2:4200\nwalletfile=/mydir/conf/Wallet");
Note:
The ons.jar
file must be in the CLASSPATH
on the client. In the case of Oracle Application Server, ONS is embedded in Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server (OPMN), as before, and
JDBC Fast Connection Failover continues to work as before.
Enabling Fast Connection Failover
An application enables Fast Connection Failover by calling setFastConnectionFailoverEnabled(true)
on a DataSource
instance, before retrieving any connections from
that instance.
You cannot enable Fast Connection Failover when reinitializing a connection cache. You must enable it before using the OracleDataSource
instance.
Example 26-2 illustrates how to enable Fast Connection Failover.
Note:
After a cache is Fast Connection Failover-enabled, you cannot disable Fast Connection Failover during the lifetime of that cache.
To enable Fast Connection Failover, you must perform the following:
Configure and start ONS. If ONS is not correctly set up, then implicit connection cache creation fails and an
ONSException
is thrown at the firstgetConnection
request.Set the
FastConnectionFailoverEnabled
property before making the firstgetConnection
request to anOracleDataSource
. When Fast
Connection Failover is enabled, the failover applies to all connections in the connection cache. If your application explicitly creates a connection cache using the Connection Cache Manager, then you must first setFastConnectionFailoverEnabled
before
retrieving any connections.Use a service name rather than a service identifier when setting the
OracleDataSource
url
property.
Example 26-2 Enabling Fast Connection Failover
// declare datasource
ods.setUrl(
"jdbc:oracle:oci:@(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=cluster_alias)
(PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=service_name)))");
ods.setUser("scott");
ods.setConnectionCachingEnabled(true);
ods.setFastConnectionFailoverEnabled(true):
ctx.bind("myDS",ods);
ds=(OracleDataSource) ctx.lookup("MyDS");
try {
ds.getConnection(); // transparently creates and accesses cache
catch (SQLException SE {
}
}
...
Querying Fast Connection Failover Status
An application determines if Fast Connection Failover is enabled by calling OracleDataSource.getFastConnectionFailoverEnabled
, which returns true
if failover is
enabled, false
otherwise.
Understanding Fast Connection Failover
After Fast Connection Failover is enabled, the mechanism is automatic; no application intervention is needed. This section discusses how a connection failover is presented to an application and what steps the application takes to recover.
This section covers the following topics:
What the Application Sees
By the time an Oracle RAC service failure is propagated to the JDBC application, the database already rolls back the local transaction. The cache manager then cleans up all invalid connections. When an application holding an invalid
connection tries to do work through that connection, it is possible to receiveSQLException, ORA-17008, Closed Connection
.
When an application receives a Closed Connection
error message, it should do the following:
Retry the connection request. This is essential, because the old connection is no longer open.
Replay the transaction. All work done before the connection was closed has been lost.
Note:
The application should not try to roll back the transaction. The transaction was already rolled back in the database by the time the application received the exception.
How It Works
Under Fast Connection Failover, each connection in the cache maintains a mapping to a service, instance, database, and host name.
When a database generates an Oracle RAC event, that event is forwarded to the JVM in which JDBC is running. A daemon thread inside the JVM receives the Oracle RAC event and passes it on to the Connection Cache Manager. The Connection
Cache Manager then throws SQL exceptions to the applications affected by the Oracle RAC event.
A typical failover scenario may work like the following:
A database instance fails, leaving several stale connections in the cache.
The RAC mechanism in the database generates an Oracle RAC event which is sent to the JVM containing JDBC.
The daemon thread inside the JVM finds all the connections affected by the Oracle RAC event, notifies them of the closed connection through SQL exceptions, and rolls back any open transactions.
Each individual connection receives a SQL exception and must retry.
Comparison of Fast Connection Failover and TAF
Fast Connection Failover differs from Transparent Application Failover (TAF) in the following ways:
Application-level connection retries
Fast Connection Failover supports application-level connection retries. This gives the application control of responding to connection failovers. The application can choose whether to retry the connection or to rethrow the exception.
TAF supports connection retries only at the OCI/Net layer.Integration with the implicit connection cache
Fast Connection Failover is well-integrated with the implicit connection cache, which allows the Connection Cache Manager to manage the cache for high availability. For example, failed connections are automatically invalidated in the
cache. TAF works at the network level on a per-connection basis, which means that the connection cache cannot be notified of failures.Event-based
Fast Connection Failover is based on the Oracle RAC event mechanism. This means that Fast Connection Failover is efficient and detects failures quickly for both active and inactive connections.
Load-balancing support
Fast Connection Failover supports UP event load balancing of connections and run-time work request distribution across active Oracle RAC instances.
