MonitorForFailover

See Also
Example

Applies To

OraDatabase

Description

Registers the application's Failover Notification Handler.

Usage

OraDatabase.MonitorForFailover FOSink, FOCtx

Arguments
Description
[in] FOSink
An IDispatch interface implementing the OnFailover method which is notified in event of a failover

[in] FOCtx
Context-specific information that the application wants passed into OnFailover in event of a failover

Remarks

To receive Failover notifications, a notification handler must be registered with MonitorForFailover. The notification handler must be an automation object (Class module in VB) that implements the OnFailover method.

The syntax of the method is:

Public Function OnFailover(Ctx As Variant, fo_type As Variant,fo_event as Variant, fo_OraDB as Variant)

Where
Is
[in] Ctx
Passed into MonitorForFailover by the application. Context-sensitive information that the application wants passed in event of a failover

[in] fo_type
Failover type. This is the type of failover that the client has requested. The usual values are:
· OO4O_FO_SESSION, which indicates that the user has requested only session failover.
· OO4O_FO_SELECT, which indicates that the user has requested select failover as well.

[in] fo_event
Failover event. This indicates the state of the failover. It has several possible values:
· OO4O_FO_BEGIN indicates that failover has detected a lost connection and failover is starting.
· OO4O_FO_END indicates successful completion of failover.
· OO4O_FO_ABORT indicates that failover was unsuccessful, and there is no option of retrying.
· OO4O_FO_ERROR also indicates that failover was unsuccessful, but it gives the application the opportunity to handle the error and retry failover. The application can retry failover, by programming the OnFailover method to return OO4O_FO_RETRY.
· OO4O_FO_REAUTH indicates that a user handle has been reauthenticated. This applies to the situation where a client has multiple user sessions on a single server connection. During the initial failover, only the active user session is failed over. Other sessions are failed over when the application tries to use them. This is the value passed to the callback during these subsequent failovers.
[in] fo_OraDB
This is the OraDatabase of the user-session that is being failed over. Valid only when fo_event is OO4O_FO_REAUTH.
