Why Do I Use the SCAN IP Address to Connect to an Oracle RAC Cluster?

If the source Oracle database is an RAC cluster, you are advised to use SCAN IP+SERVICE_NAMES to create a task because SCAN IP has stronger fault tolerance, better load balancing capability, and faster synchronization.

If the SCAN IP address is used, ensure that the SCAN IP address can communicate with all virtual IP addresses of the source database. Otherwise, the connection test cannot be passed.
If SCAN IP is not used, the virtual IP address of a node can be used. If other nodes are abnormal, the synchronization process is not affected.

For details about the SCAN IP address, see the documents on the Oracle official website.
