Issue/Introduction
We're running Policy Server and when we have several ODBC Session
Stores, we see the ODBC connection unequally distributed among the
ODBC instances. How can we get the connections distributed equally ?
Environment
Policy Server 12.52SP1CR02 on RedHat 5;
JDK 1.7.0_141 32bit;
2 Session Store on ODBC Oracle;
JDK 1.7.0_141 32bit;
2 Session Store on ODBC Oracle;
Resolution
Even if the ODBC driver allows the usage of alternateservers and
loadbalancing features, these will proceed only with failover,
even if the feature is called loadbalancing. The value of
loadbalancing determine the order in which the failover occur on the
configuration (in serie or random) :
Configure an Oracle Data Source for CA Single Sign-On
AlternateServers=
If the primary server is not accepting connections, specifies the
connection failover to the other Oracle nodes.
Example:
(HostName=nete_servername2:PortNumber=1521:ServiceName=nete_servicename[,...])
LoadBalancing=1
Turns on client load balancing, which helps to distribute new
connections to keep RAC nodes from being overwhelmed with connection
requests. When enabled, the order in which primary and alternate
database servers are accessed is random.

Inconsistent behavior from PS to DB Loadbalancing
https://comm.support.ca.com/kb/inconsistent-behavior-from-ps-to-db-loadbalancing/kb000119929
In order to avoid trailing connections to down ODBC instances, in
system_odbc.ini, configure the following :
- Set the KeepAlive parameter to 1 in order to
close any connection to a down server;
CA SSO Oracle Server Wire Protocol
KeepAlive=0 NOTE: The attributes in the example (above) reflect the
hardcoded, default values. Adding the attribute and modifying the
value will override the default value with the user-designated value.
https://comm.support.ca.com/kb/ca-sso-oracle-server-wire-protocol/kb000032766
TCP Keep Alive
KeepAlive (KA)
If set to 0 (Disabled), the driver does not enable TCPKeepAlive.
If set to 1 (Enabled), the driver enables TCPKeepAlive.
https://media.datadirect.com/download/docs/odbc/allodbc/index.html#page/odbc/tcp-keep-alive.html
Load Balance Timeout
Specifies the number of seconds to keep inactive connections open in a
connection pool. An inactive connection is a database session that is
not associated with an ODBC connection handle, that is, a connection
in the pool that is not in use by an application.
https://media.datadirect.com/download/docs/odbc/allodbc/index.html#page/odbc%2Fload-balance-timeout.html%23
This will avoid the connections to be kept open to ODBC instances
which are down.
More, you can also configure 2 separated data source and remove the
configuration of alternateservers and loadbalancing from the driver
configuration will make all the odbc connection going back to the
Primary Session Store. Note that from documentation, we support
failover only, and the driver loadbalancing configuration stands for
failover too.
Here we've removed the alternateservers and LoadBalancing
configuration and we've defined 2 separate Session Store data sources,
1 for the Primary and another one for the Secondary.

In the SmConsole, we've configured the Session Store connection
putting each of the datasources, separated with a coma "," :

Once done, we've started Policy Server, and we've seen it using the
Primary Session Store. When the Primary Session Store went off line,
Policy Server moved connections to the Secondary Session Store. When
the Primary Session Store came back online, then Policy Server moved
back the connections to the Primary Session Store :

As stated earlier in this case, you won't be able to achieve
loadbalancing between the Session Stores. So you will never get
connections equally distributed between nodes.
As our documentation states, Session Stores instances should be set as
failover.
Policy Server to Session Store Communication
Allows for failover. If a primary session store fails, Policy Servers
failover to a secondary session store.
loadbalancing features, these will proceed only with failover,
even if the feature is called loadbalancing. The value of
loadbalancing determine the order in which the failover occur on the
configuration (in serie or random) :
Configure an Oracle Data Source for CA Single Sign-On
AlternateServers=
If the primary server is not accepting connections, specifies the
connection failover to the other Oracle nodes.
Example:
(HostName=nete_servername2:PortNumber=1521:ServiceName=nete_servicename[,...])
LoadBalancing=1
Turns on client load balancing, which helps to distribute new
connections to keep RAC nodes from being overwhelmed with connection
requests. When enabled, the order in which primary and alternate
database servers are accessed is random.

If set to 1 (Enabled), the driver enables TCPKeepAlive.
https://media.datadirect.com/download/docs/odbc/allodbc/index.html#page/odbc/tcp-keep-alive.html
Load Balance Timeout
Specifies the number of seconds to keep inactive connections open in a
connection pool. An inactive connection is a database session that is
not associated with an ODBC connection handle, that is, a connection
in the pool that is not in use by an application.

As stated earlier in this case, you won't be able to achieve
loadbalancing between the Session Stores. So you will never get
connections equally distributed between nodes.
As our documentation states, Session Stores instances should be set as
failover.
Policy Server to Session Store Communication
Allows for failover. If a primary session store fails, Policy Servers
failover to a secondary session store.
