Data Guard :: Archiver Hangs When Standby - Database Is Not Available
Oct 10, 2013
we have two primary databases (Oracle release 9.2.0.8, HP-UX 11.31) installed on the same server. The corresponding standby-databases (Oracle release 9.2.0.8, HP-UX 11.31)are configured on one server, too.It happens once in a while that the server of the standby-databases struggles and performs a shutdown. The primary- and standby-databases are configured with Data Guard. If the server of the standy-databases is not reachable anymore that should not really cause any problems,meaning that both primary databases can be used as usual. One of our primary database behaves like this: the applications can connect to the database and work like as expected. The other primary database behaves different: the applications can't connect anymore. But the database is still up and running. When looking at the alert.log file the following messages can be found:
Fri Oct 4 03:19:51 2013ARC1: Evaluating archive log 3 thread 1 sequence 335372ARC1: Unable to archive log 3 thread 1 sequence 335372 Log actively being archived by another processFri Oct 4 03:20:51 2013ARC1: Evaluating archive log 3 thread 1 sequence 335372ARC1: Unable to archive log 3 thread 1 sequence 335372 Log actively being archived by another processFri Oct 4 03:21:51 2013ARC1: Evaluating archive log 3 thread 1 sequence 335372ARC1: Unable to archive log 3 thread 1 sequence 335372 Log actively being archived by another process Fri Oct 4 03:22:51 2013ARC1: Evaluating archive log 3 thread 1 sequence 335372ARC1: Unable to archive log 3 thread 1 sequence 335372 Log actively being archived by another processFri Oct 4 03:23:51 2013ARC1: Evaluating archive log 3 thread 1 sequence 335372ARC1: Unable to archive log 3 thread 1 sequence 335372 Log actively being archived by another processFri Oct 4 03:24:51 2013ARC1: Evaluating archive log 3 thread 1 sequence 335372ARC1: Unable to archive log 3 thread 1 sequence 335372
Log actively being archived by another process Trying to connect to the database is not possible - the database seems to be busy with something... We have two archiver processes for each primary database. One process of the primary database which can't be reached anymore seems to hang. Executing the command SQL> alter system archive log all;seems to run forever. Instead of shutting down ands starting the instance killing one of the archiver-processes solves the issue. Maybe some of you have made the same experiences? I do not understand why the one database doesn't have any issues (which is expected behaviour) but the other database is not reachable anymore due to some issue with the archiving process.

I have dataguard configuration operating in maximum availability mode with a local standby db (A - lgwr sync not using real time apply) and a remote standby db (B - lgwr async). I then simualted a crash of my primary database with batch jobs running. Since the stby db A is in lgwr sync option ,all the commited data in the current online redo log has been transmitted to stby A and is present in its stby redo log (Group 2).How do I apply this stby redo log to the remote stby db.
Tried the following methods.
1.ftp the stby redo log to the remote db and tried to regiter it, got an error that it is not completely archived.
2.issued the recover standby database command and supplied the stby redo log when it asked for the sequence in the stby redo, got an error saying there is corruption in a block(tried this option multiple times ended up with the same result.)

Controlling User Access to Tables in a Logical Standby Database can be controlled using the following command:
ALTER DATABASE GUARD STANDBY;
My simple question is: how can I know the current active Guard setting in the standby database?

I got a primary database with a logical standby database running Oracle 11g. I got two client applications, one is the production site pointing to the primary one, another one is just a backup site pointing to the logical one.Things will only be written into the primary database every mid night and client applications can only query the database but not add, update nor delete.And now, I want to apply the latest patch on both of my databases. I am also the DNS administrator, I can make the name server pointing to the backup site instead of the production one.I want to firstly apply the patch on the logical one, and then the physical one.
I found some reference which explains how to apply patches by adopting "Rolling Upgrade Method". however, I want to avoid doing any "switch over" mentioned in the reference because I can make use of name server. Can I just apply patches as the following way?
1)Stop SQL apply
2)Apply patches on logical standby database
3)let the name server point to the backup site
4)Apply patches on the primary database
5)Start SQL apply
6)Let the name server point back to the production site

I have set up a single instance standbys for rac databases. Now, I need to offload the backups from the primary on to the standbys.
1. cancel managed recovery
2. connect to target(standby) and catalog and backup the standby
3. put standby in managed recovery mode.
I think following these steps, I can restore primary(?). Now, My question is, how can I use these standby backups to clone/refresh databases? I tried it by connecting to target(primary), catalog and auxiliary but rman is using the primary backups instead of standby's to refresh the auxiliary database.

i have done oracle data guard between two databases (database A is the primary) and (database B is the standby), and it was working fine for two weeks, then the network admin did some changes on the firewall on standby side, which made the primary database can not write on standby redo log , so archives was generated on primary and do not generated on standby by, now we solve the firewall probelm and new archives generated on primary is generated on atandby too, but now i have a gap in archives on standby database and standby database now is not synchronized with primary database, and data changes happen on primary is not reflected on standby, also archives that were generated on primary and did not generated on standby during the problem time is not registered in V$ARCHIVED_LOG neither on primary database nor on standby database

create another standby database on a new server.
I'm running Oracle 11.2 EE on Solaris 10.
We already have one standby database, but now, I want to create another standby database on another server, which ultimately I will make primary and then replace and destroy our current primary/standby databases.
Also, just for the heck of it, I tried to look in our DB Console, and the "Add standby database" is grey'd out.
Is this because I am only using DB Console, and not Grid?But if that were the case, why would the option even be in DB Console, or perhaps is there a lmiitation to the number of standby databases you can manage with DB Console?

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.
