				| here's our scenario: 
 we connect to the oracle database (application DB) RAC nodes from our message broker v6.1 on AIX. The ODBCINI64.INI has the following entry:
 
 
 ;# Oracle Real Application Clusters stanza
 [QWE]
 Driver=/usr/XXX/ODBC64/V5.3/lib/UKora23.so
 Description=DataDirect 5.3 64bit Oracle Wire Protocol
 HostName=Host1
 PortNumber=1531
 ServiceName=ABC
 ;#This shows one alternate server definition. Add extra ones using a ',' to seperate each definition.
 AlternateServers=(HostName=Host2:PortNumber=1531:ServiceName=ABC,HostName=Host3:PortNumber=1531:ServiceName=ABC)
 CatalogOptions=0
 EnableStaticCursorsForLongData=0
 ApplicationUsingThreads=1
 EnableDescribeParam=1
 OptimizePrepare=1
 WorkArounds=536870912
 ProcedureRetResults=1
 ColumnSizeAsCharacter=1
 EnableNcharSupport=1
 
 When looked at the network statistics, we find more "connection requests" going from WMB server to Host1 than the other two(host 2 and host3).
 
 so, wondering if this URL really provides load balancing or is it more of a failover connection string? we just used whatever IBM recommended to use in the document, not much of an information could be found around this topic there.
 
 any insight would be of great help....
 
 Thanks!

				| Since you are using Host1 in the hostname, it is obvious that it will go to host1. You need to use either the serverName property to use Oracle tnsnames.ora and sqlnet or create a floating VIP that maps to host1, host2 and host3.

				| No, don't amend tnsnames.ora. He is using the thin client which does not go through the oracle client install. Therefore, tnsnames.ora will be ignored. |  |
