Issue: You need to ensure high availability of Microsoft Active Directory
Solution: Configure Shared Services to use DNS lookup to locate Active Directory:
Specify the domain name.
(Optional) Specify the site and the DNS IP address.
Caution! | Oracle recommends against selecting the Host Name option for Active Directory configuration in Shared Services. Use the Host Name option for testing purposes only. |
When configured to perform a DNS lookup, Shared Services queries the DNS server to identify registered domain controllers and switches to an available domain controller in case of a failure. For more information, see “DNS Lookup and Host Name Lookup” in the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System User and Role Security Guide.
Note: | Oracle recommends configuring Shared Services to use DNS lookup to locate Active Directory regardless of whether you require high availability. |
