Data Guard :: Archive Logs Are Being Shipped But Not Applied
Jun 27, 2013
Currently I am at the point where the configuration has been completed, and I just need to sync the standby database to the primary one. I can see in the log files that the archive logs are being shipped, but they are not applied on the standby system.
If I run "recover standby database;" manually in sqlplus I can see that it is trying to apply an archive log which is way too old (ORA-00279: change 9656498443 generated at 04/29/2008 08:45:08 needed for thread 1). I
n the alert log I can also see this error: Warning: Recovery target destination is in a sibling branch of the controlfile checkpoint. Recovery will only recover changes to datafiles.
At this point I was thinking that the standby database might be on a different incarnation compared to the primary, but this is not the case, they are both in incarnation 6:6 6 MVF 4023175798 CURRENT 48493546257 13-06-21

I have a Sap Primry Database and also a standby db that was working perfectly.. We migrated the primary db from windows 2003 to windows 2008 and brought the primary db up.. I had to create a controlfile and do a system copy and had to reset the logs on the Primary.. All came up and when i checked the standby it was receiving the logs but after a month. i see that it was not applying the logs as I think because of the sequence number .. it stopped.
I did the ffg as per the attachement...My logs have been shipped across but not applied, But What worrries me is the log sequence number on my Primary

I got a database on dataguard and my primary (db1) is shipping files to my standby (db2) with no problems.However, when I query:
select sequence#, status, applied from v$archived_log;
I see this:
SEQUENCE# S APP
---------- - ---
4 A YES
5 A YES
6 A YES
7 A YES
8 A YES
9 A YES
10 A YES
11 A YES
12 A YES
13 A YES
14 A YES
[code]....
So I did an alter system switch logfile on db1 then looked again and I can see new archived logs being applied.I thought all archived logs had to be applied on the standby since this is the very foundation of the standby database.Am I going to run in trouble later if I have a failover (unsynchronized database)

I need a clarification on the below query.
I am having a Dataguard setup as Logical.
I am copying all the archive log files generated in the live server into the local server in order to apply into the Data Guard.
I am running a script for this process.
Question:How i can verify whether particular archive log file was applied into the data guard or not.

While Configuring Data Guard for ORacle 10g (10.2.0.4) 64 bits on Windows 2007 Server 64 bits.I got few questions
1. What is the Default mode of Standby Database?
2. Should we Always Start Physical Standby Database to Recover Missing Redo Archive Log?

3. When there are missing Redo Log Archives e.g.

I have two Oracle 10.2.0.4 databases, on two SUN M5000 (Solaris 5.10). One is primary (EXP1), the other is the standby (EXPBKP). Both SID is 'EXP'. If I do a manual recover (after I sync'ed primary archive logs from primary to standby), it works. If I do a manual log switch, logs are shipped AND applied on the standby. But after a while, I can see some errors on primary alert log , and logs are not shipped anymore :
CODE Errors in file /applications/oracle/admin/EXP/bdump/exp_arc2_1277.trc:

Till now i was pretty sure that standby redologs are applied to database without any delay, but everything looks that the process is different. i did on primary server table and add some records to this table.
Next i switch to standby and open redologs (with hex editor) to look for this "create table" and "insert" commands. and i succeeded. so this is prove that standby log are supplied by primary database.
Next i cancelled recovery process and open database in read only mode and there was no records in this standby db, moreover there wasn't any table on standby. so i started to be confused, because i suspected that this table and it content will be on standby database.
Next i started recover process again for standby database and do some switch log on primary server. after that i back to standby, cancel recovery process and open database in read only mode. there was table and contents for it.
so my question is:
does standby redologs should be applied online to database or they are only applied after promoting standby database to primary database?
it looks like contents only from archivelog is applied to standby database. it is correct?
database is 9i.

How to make the automatic deletion of all the archivelogs when it is applied successfully on the standby database? We have 1 primary database and 1 standby database using oracle physical dataguard.
In the primary database, we have daily backup job so that the applied archivelogs are deleted automatically, no problem
But in the standby database ( physical standby) I have to go there and delete manually because I don't issue backup on this database. Is there any solution for this problem.

I dont want to backup the STDBY DB but I want the ARC files to be removed when applied so my flash area does not fill up. Is there some command(rman or not) that can fire off this policy?

I'm using oracle 10.2.0.3. on windows 2003. I've implemented physical stanby and it was working fine until last week. No problem on primary DB. Archived logs are sent normally to standby. And standby DB is also able to apply the archived logs coming from primary. I've already check data on standby DB after opening it with READ ONLY option : data are exported normally and I can read them.
The issue is the status of logs in view v$log on standby database.
select group#,status from v$log;
group# status
1 clearing_current
2 clearing
3 clearing
I've tried this :
On standby DB :
SQL> RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;
Media recovery complete.
SQL> alter database open read only;
complete.
SQL> alter database clear logfile group 1;
Database altered.
SQL> alter database clear logfile group 2;
Database altered.
SQL> alter database clear logfile group 3;
Database altered.
SQL> select * from v$log;
GROUP# THREAD# SEQUENCE# BYTES MEMBERS ARC STATUS

3 1 0 5242880 1 YES UNUSED

I go back into recovery mode and my status says clearing_current.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
Database altered.
SQL> select * from v$log;

I've a primary database and a physical standby.Logs are shipping perfectly from primary to standby.The logs that are applied on the standby are getting stored in a mount point(LINUX-/opt2) which consumes more space(160 GB). Will that be right if I go ahead and delete them?
My rman configurations in primary is:
RMAN> show all;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 4;

I am working on Data Guard concepts. I have configured Data Guard which is working fine.
Now I am trying to work on script which can give me output on OS prompt if there are any archive gaps..
I tried to use few commands on a script archgap.sh as
archgap.sh
sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
select * from v$archive_gap;
I am trying to run above script on OS prompt as
ABC:/home/oracle>sh archgap.sh
but I am not getting output ... I want it a way that this script should run within interval of 5 min and give output on OS prompt.

I have a RAC system with DR set-up, this is a test environment and it doesn't have any backup, why DR is required but it exist. Since this is a test a lot or archives gets generated and deleting the archives has become a daily job for this server manually.
I want have a script to delete archive logs which is in non-ASM (i.e. filesystem) after ensuring that the archive log has been applied in standby database. If this can done only by RMAN.

I have a two node rac DB (prim and stdby) with two threads. I am trying to put together a script that will detect any gaps in the log files.
I know that MRPO only runs on one node. When I run the following query (see below) I can only see the sequence# for one of the threads.
select thread#, sequence#, process from gv$managed_standby;
THREAD# SEQUENCE# PROCESS
---------- ---------- ---------
1 119739 MRP0
...
...
I than query my PRIM DB and subract the value from my STBY DB to see the difference (gap)
select (sequence# - &scn) from v$log where thread# = &thrd and status ='CURRENT'
Can there be gaps in more than one thread? If so, how can I see the diffences?

We are planning to setup a data guard (Maximum performance configuration ) between two Oracle 9i databases on two different servers.
The archive logs on the primary servers are deleted via a RMAN job bases on a policy , just wondering how I should delete the archive logs that are shipped to the standby.
Is putting a cron job on the standby to delete archive logs that are say 2 days old the proper approach or is there a built in data guard option that would some how allow archive logs that are no longer needed or are two days old deleted automatically.

We have a request to configure data guard for databases on the production server. Here is my situation:
We have a backup strategy in place where the backups are being taken on a regular basis. Archive logs are deleted as soon as they are backed up.
My question now is , is there a way of configuring the Data guard in such a way that there would be no change to existing backup strategy (RMAN) and still duplicate the archive logs to another destination and not delete the archive logs by RMAN backup process on that destination while the first destination is deleted.
We will be deleting the logs in the second archive destination using a script which checks if the logs were applied.

I successfully created the standby database and the archive logs were properly moving on both the primary and the standby databases. For the proper transfer of the archive logs on the STANDBY database I used "FAL_CLIENT AND FAL_SERVER" in the pfile of the primary database specifying the location of the primary and the Standby respectively.
When I removed both the parameters from the pfile of the primary database still there was the transfer of the archive logs however there should not be "If I am not wrong" as I have removed both the parameters.
why there is still the transfer of the archive logs on the standby database.

which of the following views on the physical standby will us correct information on synchronization with Primary database?
For example, when I checked v$archived_gap it did not return any rows but the max(applied_seq#) on v$archive_dest_status was lagging far behind from the max(sequence#) on Primary database
select max(applied_seq#) from v$archive_dest_status where dest_id=2;
select max(sequence#) from v$archived_log where applied='YES';
select * from v$archive_gap;

I am new to Oracle and a beginner in Data Guard.
1) How to find archive log gap from Primary Database site?
2) Do I need the DB_UNIQUE_NAME when setting the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2 ? What is the purpose of DB_UNIQUE_NAME in LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST parameter?
3) If archivelog gap happens standby db goes out of sync with the primary database. What does out of sync actually mean?
4) Primary DB knows where to transport redo data based on the location mentioned in LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n of Primary DB. Am I correct in my understanding?

I have following query in Dataguard ..
If I want to take Rman archive log backup with delete input command , how the archive logs will be copied to standby database
For eg
I am taking archive backup as
RMAN>backup archivelog all delete input;
here consider few archives are not copied to standby database (due to nw issue) then how standby will receives these missing archives as those are deleted by rman backup at primary side.
I am not getting any document related to above query.
