Making the Repository Highly-Available

Waveset stores all of its provisioning and state information in the Waveset repository.

The availability of the database instance storing the Waveset repository is the most critical piece to achieving a highly available Waveset deployment. The repository is the representation of the entire Waveset installation and the data within it must be protected as with other important database applications. At minimum, regular backups must be performed.

Do not host the Waveset repository on a virtual platform such as a VMware virtual machine because performance (transactions per second) will be hindered significantly.

There can only be one image of the repository. It is not possible to have two separate databases for Waveset and attempt to synchronize them nightly. Oracle recommends using your database's clustering or mirroring capabilities to provide fault tolerance.
