Internet Access to Advanced Queuing, 7 of 9
Using Advanced Queuing propagation in Oracle9i, you can propagate over HTTP and HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) instead of Oracle Net Services (formerly Net8). HTTP, unlike Oracle Net Services, is easy to configure for firewalls.
HTTP AQ propagation uses the infrastructure for Internet access to AQ as its basis. The background process doing propagation pushes messages to an AQ Servlet that enqueues them into the destination database, as shown in Figure 17-3.
Text description of the illustration qintnet2.gif
Since HTTP propagation is different from Net Services in only the transport, most of the setup is the same as for Net Services propagation. The additional steps and differences are outlined below.
The rest of the steps for propagation remain the same. The administrator must use dbms_aqadm.schedule_propagation to start propagation. Propagation can be disabled with the dbms_aqadm.disable_propagation_schedule and re-enabled using dbms_aqadm.enable_propagation_schedule. The background processes, the job queue processes propagate the messages to the destination database.The job_queue_processes parameters must be at least 2 for propagation to take place.
Any application can be easily set up to use AQ HTTP propagation without any change to the existing code, by following steps 1-3. Similarly an application using AQ http propagation can easily switch back to Net Services propagation just by recreating the dblink with a Net Services connection string, without any other changes.
For example, if the webserver is running on the machine webdest.oracle.com
and listening for requests on port 8081, then the connect string of the database is as follows:
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=http)(HOST=webdest.oracle.com)(PORT=8081))
If SSL is used, then specify HTTPS as the protocol in the connect string.
The database link is created as follows:
create public database link dba connect to john identified by welcome using '(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=http)(HOST=webdest.oracle.com)(PORT=8081))' ;
Where user john
with password welcome
is used to authenticate with the Web server and is also known by the term AQ HTTP agent.
Create a class AQPropServlet that extends AQxmlServlet as described in [create the AQ XML Servlet Class]. This servlet must connect to the destination database. The servlet must be deployed on the Web server in the path aqserv/servlet.
In Oracle9i, the propagation servlet name and deployment path are fixed; that is, they must be AQPropServlet
and the servlet, respectively.
dbms_aqdm.schedule_propagation. dbms_aqadm.schedule_propagation('src_queue', 'dba');
