This Oracle connection does NOT have TAF enabled, you can still continue, but if this installation is to be used in a UAT or Production environment you MUST enable TAF (Failover).

Continue without TAF enabled?

The installer has connected to the Oracle database and determined that Oracle TAF is not enabled for the specified Oracle database service (TNS) name.

Failed to determine whether TAF is configured for the Oracle connection.

The installer has attempted to connect to the Oracle database to determine if Oracle TAF is enabled, but has been unable to do so.

 

Warning 

TIBCO strongly recommends the use of Oracle TAF with the iProcess Engine to provide 24*7 resilient operation.

If you are deploying iProcess Engine for user acceptance testing (UAT) or to a production environment, you must enable TAF.

What To Do

If you want to enable TAF before continuing with the installation:

1. Click the No button to return to the Database Details dialog box.
2. Make sure that the Oracle database is running and that your computer has a network connection to it.
3. Enable Oracle TAF on your chosen service name.
4. Click the Next button on the Database Details dialog box.

If you want to continue with the installation without enabling TAF, click the Yes button.
