Does Developer, Forms or Reports support TAF?
No. Forms does not support TAF. The Forms development group decided not to support it because most of their customers utilize a lot of PLSQL packages running in the DB, and the package state is not preserved with TAF. In the event of a failure, they would lose state and have to go back to the top level screen anyway, so they didn’t see this as a big win. Reports does not support TAF. In order to failover a reports session, there is important session state that must be restored. In theory, this could be accomplished via a callback function. The callback function is also used to notify the user a failback is in progress and explain there may be a delay while the query is reissued. However, Reports does not support registering such a callback function. They currently do not have plans to offer this support.
