The Tungsten Replicator is an extraordinarily powerful and flexible tool capable of moving vast volumes of data from source to target.

In this blog post we will discuss one specific aspect of the THL (Transaction History Log) - the METADATA unsafe_for_block_commit flag.

One nice thing about Tungsten Clustering is that you need just a single command to move the master role to another host in your cluster.

Continuent is pleased to announce that Tungsten Dashboard v1.0.1 is now available!

Our Dashboard v1.0.1-36 is a bug fix release that also contains a few improvements. Some of the highlights include:

In this blog post, we discuss failover concepts and administration.

In this blog post, we describe the new Read Affinity tuning feature of the Tungsten Connector.

Tungsten Connector read affinity now supports multiple dataservices with ordering and exclusion (only one was previously allowed).

In this blog post we will discuss the internals of the Tungsten Replicator from the perspective of data flow processing.

A pipeline (or service) acts upon data.

Pipelines consist of a variable number of stages.

Think about it - your global, cloud-based application needs to be online and available for the business to run. Downtime is to be avoided like the plague. Perhaps you even have multiple cloud providers to span.

How do we create a database service layer that handles all kinds of failures?

Achieving software upgrades without downtime is a challenge that few software products can handle, or even try to. Tungsten Clustering is one that can!
