Which command should you issue to enable application continuity on Oracle Autonomous Database on Shared Infrastructure?

Application Continuity ensures seamless failover for applications:

Correct Answer (B): EXEC DBMS_CLOUD_ADMIN.ENABLE_APP_CONT(''); is the

correct command for Autonomous Database on Shared Infrastructure. It enables Application

Continuity for a specific service (e.g., tpurgent), leveraging the DBMS_CLOUD_ADMIN package

designed for cloud-specific administration.

Incorrect Options:

A: ALTER SESSION only affects the current session, not persistent database-wide settings.

C, D: ALTER DATABASE and ALTER SYSTEM are not supported in Autonomous Database’s managed

environment; Oracle restricts such commands.

This ensures application resilience in a managed setup.
