Session Title: Introduction to Application Continuity – The Missing Link

Abstract: Learn all about an exciting and not very well-known feature within the Oracle Database, called Application Continuity (AC) which is available with the Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC), Oracle RAC One Node and Oracle Active Data Guard options and it masks outages from end users and applications by recovering the in-flight database sessions following recoverable outages. In simple words, allow your application to achieve extremely high availability at the transaction level by replaying transactions in a survival node (in case of a node failure), or within an available active standby database in case of an outage (Disaster Recovery scenario) with zero downtime for your application.
