cfmx7 and Oracle 10g RAC

[WoodChuck]

We have MX7 with the latest datadirect drivers (3.4) and 10g JDBC Thin Client
from Oracle installed. We want to setup a datasource to connect to the 10gRAC
environment using the ServiceName so that you can realize the full potential of
10g, ex load balancing between nodes and availability.

I know that the Macromedia does not officially support 10gRAC yet but they did
say that 3.4 drivers should at least work. Has anyone successfully set this up?

Thanks

WoodChuck,

I too am in this same situation, and would like to know if anyone has a
solution.
Do you know where I can find the documentation from Macromedia that states
that his is not supported yet.
I need to have some proof for my developers.

Thanks,
Chris

The non-support is shown here almost at the foot of the page -

Has anyone sucessfuly installed CF MX7 on Oracle 10g RAC? I can't find a straight answer whether this is possible or not, or even if Macromedia plans on supporting it.

I found this while digging. I'm still testing:

"Other" Datasource Type

CF Data Source Name - you supply
JDBC URL - jdbc:macromedia:oracle://yourservername:port(typically
1521);SERVICENAME=yourservicename
Driver Class - macromedia.jdbc.MacromediaDriver
Driver Name - Macromedia RAC JDBC Connection
User Name - you supply
Password - you supply

If you see :o in the JDBC URL that is a "o" and ":" next to each other which
prints the Emotion instead of the actual character
Hope this helps you, good luck
