For a high availability (HA) configuration of the Oracle Integration Connectivity Agent, specific prerequisites and limitations must be observed. A user must be granted the ServiceDeployer role (or a role with equivalent permissions, like ServiceAdministrator) to download the agent installer and create an agent group from the Oracle Integration console. Furthermore, the HA architecture for the connectivity agent is explicitly designed to support a maximum of two agent instances per agent group. This design provides load balancing and failover between the two nodes. Attempting to configure a third agent into the same group is not a supported configuration and will fail.

A. The File Adapter is supported in HA environments, but only one agent instance in the group can actively poll for files at a time to prevent race conditions.

C. While agents must be in the same group for HA, there is no mandatory requirement that they be installed on hosts in separate subnets.

D. For high availability, all agent instances must be configured with the same agent group identifier to function as a single logical unit for failover and load balancing.

including the File Adapter

noting that "Only one agent can be active for polling files from the configured location." This confirms the adapter is supported

but with specific operational constraints.
