Connection management for client connections to participants in a grid

You can configure Connection Managers to route connection requests from clients to the replication servers of a grid.

Connection requests can be directed to replication servers based on Connection Manager service-level agreements (SLAs). You can configure Connection Manager SLAs to redirect connection requests based on various redirection policies. Connection Managers support the following redirection policies:
  • FAILURE: Connection requests are directed to the replication server that has the fewest apply failures.
  • LATENCY: Connection requests are directed to the replication server that has the lowest transaction latency.
  • ROUNDROBIN: Connection requests are directed in a repeating, ordered fashion (round-robin) to a group of replication servers.
  • WORKLOAD: Connection requests are directed to the replication server that has the lowest workload.
