Data Guard :: Can A Logical Database Be Applied From A Physical Standby
Jul 25, 2013
I have a setup where i have one physical and logical standby from a primary database. In case of switch over between primary and physical database my logical apply gets stopped. Can a logical database be applied from a physical standby ?

1.create a primary database 2.duplicate a physical standby database; 3.turn on flashback on both databases. 4.record SCN xxx on physical standby database. 5.convert physical standby to logical standby (using keep identity statement) 6.flashback to logical standby to xxx 7.convert logical standby to physical standby 8.using real time apply I got errors: Fast Parallel Media Recovery enabledManaged Standby Recovery starting Real Time ApplyMRP0:

I have created a physical standby database and in it the logs are not getting applied.following is an extract of the standby alert log

However, the archived files are getting copied to the standby server.I tried registering and recovering the logs but it also failed..Follows some of the information,

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.)
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 working on a Production Environment, where our Database is running on a IBM-AIX platform.I need to implement Logical standby database for reporting purposes, in order to improve the performance.Now the transaction and the reporting is done at the same site itself.I want to know that, operating system and platform architecture (RAM size, no. of CPUs, ORACLE_HOME etc..) on the primary and standby systems must be same or can be different. complete configuration for Dataguard. My os version is,
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production CORE 10.2.0.4.0 Production TNS for IBM/AIX RISC System/6000: Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
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
DB1 <Primary> - Production DB2 <Physial Standby> - DR
I will need to startup my DB2 in DR segment for testing.If i perform the below, will it affect my Production DB? I need it to be up and running as well.
DR: recover managed standby database cancel; shutdown immediate; startup nomount; alter database mount standby database; recover standby database until cancel; alter database activate standby database;
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 Oracle database on Oracle 10g R2 with physical as well as logical standby database.
1) Is is necessary to take Physical standby database backup? 2) If 1) yes then Which RMAN backup is preferred?with catalog or default?How to take backup as different location? 3)how to Restore that backup?How to ensure backup is valid?
I would need to create a physical standby database for DR without using data guard. I like to know in more details like
1. What would be required to switch over to standby database in case of failure of primary database? Is it going to be a manual process each time, or can be automated using scripts? 2. How the archive logs will be applied to standby database in timely manner to sync with primary database? 3. How the Primary database will be synch with Standby database once the issue resolved on primary database. 4. Where do I get a complete script to create physical standby database on Windows platform?
I am using Oracle RAC 11.2.0.3 as primary database, we are going to start using Oracle data guard. So I am designing my infrastructure and planing to use Oracle 11.2.0.3 Single instance as my physical stand by database.
My question is it feasible to have my standby database as single instance while the primary is RAC? is it feasible to build my Oracle single instance standby database from the RMAN backup of the RAC primary database? Is there any restrictions (or any points to be taken into consideration) since my primary database is RAC while the physical standby is Oracle single instance?
in the below link
[URL].......
it was mentioned that primary can be RAC or single and same for standby, but my question is it feasible to have primary as RAC while standby as single instance? or it should be like each others?
The primary database can be either a single-instance Oracle database or an Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) database. Similar to a primary database, a standby database can be either a single-instance Oracle database or an Oracle RAC database.
We recently configured data guard in test machine.Archives not applied in physical standby.Where i need to start investigation?
Primary SQL> select THREAD#,max(sequence#) from v$archived_log where applied='YES' group by thread#; THREAD# MAX(SEQUENCE#) ---------- -------------- 1 301 [code]...
We have 2 node (n1 nad n2 ) RAC and 3rd node (n3) with Dataguard logical database for reporting ..
1. logical database (n3) not syn with primary (n1,n2) 2. During repair above mentioned problem by mistake my logical(n3) also become primary 3. now how I will again change my n3 to logical 4. I got following error
RE: ORA-16009: remote archive log destination must be a STANDBY database
I got a database on dataguard and my primary (db1) is shipping files to my standby (db2) with no problems.However, when I query:
select sequence#, status, applied from v$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)
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?
On next month i will have plan to delete history data on my Primary database, but i still want to keep them in logical standby as the data warehouse. So, how can i skip delete statement from primary database apply to logical standby.
Oracle SQL apply only support for Skip DML but not for keep delete statement
(on 10g and 11g)SQL>exec dbms_logstdby.skip(statement => 'DELETE',schema_name => 'SCOTT', object_name => 'DEPT');BEGIN dbms_logstdby.skip(statement => 'DELETE',schema_name => 'SCOTT', object_name => 'DEPT'); END; *ERROR at line 1:ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'SKIP'ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:PL/SQL:
I have a DR setup with the following configuration

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?
Can i create logical_stand_by for windows server 2008, the primary data base is HP UX , both operating systems are 64 bits and data bases are Oracle 10g 10.2.0.1.0.
I am not able to find any document that shows steps to create a SINGLE INSTANCE LOGICAL STANDBY database for a 2 NODE ORACLE RAC database. I have found documents for RAC to Single Instance Physical standby database. But not for Logical Standby.
Details:
OS: Redhat 5 DB: 10.2.0.4(shared file system, not using ASM/Standby also file system) Status: Single instance physical standby database created, need to convert it to Logical standby.
I have One Production and one logical standby database . Due to tape problem we are unable to take backups of primary . And due to business , we cannot take back up on disk in hot period(Bank database ) .
If i take logical standby database backup(level 0 ) using RMAN , then will i be able to restore it on production dtbs (In case Production down) ? . Logical standby is in sync with primary .
I have to implement Physical standby using same SID. parameters required to set on Primary and standby. Also what entries are required to do in TNS file. Recently we have faced hardware failure.
