Suffix Settings

Use this tab to specify settings for a particular root or sub suffix.

Suffix name. This field gives the name of the suffix. If the suffix is a root suffix, the console states "This is a root suffix." If the suffix is a sub suffix, the root suffix to which it belongs is named in the "Suffix belongs to" field.

Enable this suffix. By default, this checkbox is selected. To disable the suffix (for example, when you take a database down for maintenance), deselect this checkbox.

Suffix request processing. These options help you configure how requests from client applications are managed by this suffix.

Use the Databases. Select this option if you want the databases and database links to be used for processing all requests made by client applications.

Return Referrals for all Operations. Select this option to return a referral in response to all client application requests. For example, you might when a database is taken off line.

Return Referrals for Update Operations. Select this option to return a referral only during update requests. This is useful for redirecting client requests made to read-only databases.
