True Cache Restrictions with Oracle Global Data Services

Deploying True Cache with Oracle GDS has the following restrictions.

• When adding True Cache services in GDSCTL with the -failover_primary option, install patch 37099586 on the GSM home.

• When adding True Cache services with a preferred True Cache, you currently need to include the primary database in the -available list. This might change in the future.

• If the application uses the JDBC programming model, both the primary database service and True Cache service names must be fully qualified with the domain name (for example, sales.example.com and sales_tc.example.com). This is because GDS has a default domain name and is different from the database’s domain_name parameter. This also limits the fully qualified service name to a maximum of 64 characters.
