Intended Audience

The Oracle Application Server Disaster Recovery Guide Using OracleAS Guard is intended for administrators, developers, and others whose role is to deploy and manage Oracle Application Server in Disaster Recovery environments using the Oracle Application Server Guard (OracleAS Guard) utility.

The information in this manual replaces the Disaster Recovery chapters and appendixes in the 10.1.x releases of the Oracle Application Server High Availability Guide, which included information about the OracleAS Guard utility. This manual assumes that you have read and are familiar with the High Availability information in the Oracle Application Server High Availability Guide.

Note:

This manual describes how to use OracleAS Guard for disaster protection of your Oracle Application Server deployment. If you are already using OracleAS Guard for disaster protection of your present Oracle Application Server deployment, then the information in this manual can help you manage it.

However, if you are planning a new Oracle Application Server deployment that needs disaster protection, Oracle recommends that you use disk replication to provide disaster protection for the Oracle Application Server deployment. For more information on how to provide disaster protection for Oracle Application Server deployments using disk replication, refer to the Oracle Application Server Disaster Recovery Guide for Oracle Application Server release 10.1.3.3.0.

Documentation Accessibility

Our goal is to make Oracle products, services, and supporting documentation accessible, with good usability, to the disabled community. To that end, our documentation includes features that make information available to users of assistive technology. This documentation is available in HTML format, and contains markup to facilitate access by the disabled community. Accessibility standards will continue to evolve over time, and Oracle is actively engaged with other market-leading technology vendors to address technical obstacles so that our documentation can be accessible to all of our customers.
