1) How to copy the ARCHIVED LOG FILE from Primary to DR location. Where if the DR is having the file already, how to SKIP that Particular Archived log file?
2) I have Checked with the FILE_TRANSFER DBMS package, but it gives the error if any file existing already.
I wanted to make a script for applying the Archived log File in to DR by certain interval.
1) I will use the below view for finding the SEQUENCE so far applied.select sequence# from v$log_archive.
2) But how i can compare with the archive log files available in physical location with the above mentioned view.
eg:- the above view shows, the till the sequence 46789 is applied.And in the DR physical Location available sequences are 46795. which means 6 more archived log files are more, which are not applied into the DR so far.
I try to recover standby db from a primary db backup set,but the standby control file is different.
to create primary controlfile by rman:
backup control file format '/home/cur_control';
to create standby controlfile:
backup control file for standby format '/home/std_control';
I want to know if there is method to convert cur_control to std_control.
What is difference when you issue a create controlfile with "standby" keyword on the primary database
ALTER DATABASE CREATE STANDBY CONTROLFILE AS '/path/db_stby.ctl';
vs. creating a control using
ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE to '/path/db_control.ctl';
what does ORACLE put into the standby control that is "extra"? ie. what is the difference between a standby control file and a normal control file?
Is there any way to find out the last archived file's:
A) sequence no
B) Date and time
C) As well as the log group name.
I have 4 Log group.
The GAP archived log can not transport to target database by auto, how can i do?

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

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)
1> Does dataguard in 10g use ftp/rsh to transfer archived log files to standby database or some other protocol?
2> In my primary database, archives are getting generated normally, there is no error in alert log file. But archives are not getting transferred to standby database. I am able to connect through sys user from primary server to standby database & vice versa.
Also, tnsping is working fine.
All was working fine till 2 days back & no parameter has been changed from database side. I am not able to transfer the file manually through FTP to standby server. Does it is the problem? Or dataguard doesnt use FTP protocol to transfer the files?

I'd like to know the Standby hostname and database name (db_unique_name) from primary using SQL. Simply put, which table in primary datbase gives us the standby host and the database name. I am aware that TNSNAMES.ORA contains details, but we cannot use SQL for that. I am also aware of V$ARCHIVED_LOG's DEST_ID column. But, the DEST_ID will not show the host and the db names, neither does V$PARAMETER's LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n if SERVICE parameter is set to Connect Identifier.
If I further paraphrase my problem, how I'd relate a dest_id to a standby host and database using SQL.
SELECT <columns> FROM <v$some_view> WHERE dest_id IN (2, 3);
DEST_ID HOST_NAME DATABASE_NAME

I was using physical standby but my primary database had had some HW issue.So I had activated standby database to handle production.During 3 months, standby database was our live database and our old primary was unavailable.Now HW issue on primary has been fixed.And I want to set again my old configuration : means set primary and standby db.
I'm trying this :
1) check the SCN on old primary
2) Rman incremantal backup from scn
3) on primary db : catalog
4) on primary db : recover database noredo
I did standby before and it works wighout any disturbations and even configuration seems to me not very complicated - but it was before. now i am trying to do standby configuration once again. there is database named DESK.
two physical serwers:
sczepl-db07 - primary
r00979 - standby
on each for this serwer there is listener listening on port 1521, and on each is tnsnames configured properly:
for sczepl-db07
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = sczepl-db07)(PORT = 1521))
[code]....
so why primary don't see standby db and claims that ther is no standby service? i proved that there is connection primary <--> standby.
I'm using 2 databases : Primary and Standby DB. It working fine. I've just one question : I want to change SYS password on primary DB. Can I change it without any action on Standby DB?

I have a primary and standby DB using data guard 10.2.0.3.I want to upgrade oracle to 11G.I know that primary and standby should have same version even if data guard will not work again.I want to know what is the steps by steps action to properly upgrade both DB : primary and Standby.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have configured data Guard on oracle 11gR2. It is working fine. The only issue i am facing is that when i am stopping the database on the primary server, it is taking a long long time to down the database.
Is it normal?
Furthermore, regarding backup i used veritas Netbackup to perform hotbackup. Can i still used the same principle.
I am going to change some parameters on primary database (db cache, java pool etc.). I am not sure, if the changes are automaticallly propagated to standby or if I have to make the changes manually on stanby site too? I couldn't find clear answer in documentation. how parameter changes work in dg physical configuration?

I have a brand new box set-up for a single-instance standby database, and I have installed 11.1.0.6 software only.
Do I need to patch 11.1.0.6 to 11.1.0.7 before I send a copy of the primary over to be set-up as a standby? If so, how do I patch 11.1.0.6 without having a local database in place as this server will only be used for a standby? Can patching the oracle_home only be done?
im on 11G R2 database on linux 5.4, while configuring a physical standby from scratch, remember i dont want to use RMAN, when i copy datafiles from primary to standby, is it necessary to shutdown primary and then copy datafiles ? or i can use SCP command and copy even though primary is up in read write mode?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am fairly new to Oracle and have recently started learning the basics of Data Guard. I have set-up a Primary 11g database which successfully ships and applies logs to a Single Standby (on the same server) as expected. Manual switchovers work fine; however, I have found a slight problem when performing switchovers using the Data Guard Broker utility.
The switchover is successful- but the broker cannot restart the Primary instance. The strange thing is that when I perform a switchover in the opposite direction (i.e. the new Primary goes back to standby again) it works fine. The error is receive is: ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor.
The majority of posts I have seen on this topic seem to point to incorrect listener / tnsnames set up but they have exactly the same values. If both databases are identical, why does it work one way but not the other? I will provide any necessary files to pinpoint where the issue could be.
I want to replace one redo log on the primary database. actually this redo log is on G:oracleoradata; I want to move it on F:oracleoradata. How to do that cause the same redo log is also on standby database?

We have a primary and a standby (Physical Dataguard) site.
1. How do i check if the database is encrypted or not on primary as well as standby ?
2. If primary and standby are encrypted, does the data that gets replicated from primary to standby also in encrypted form ? If not, does it make sense to encrypt that ?
Can we make Data Guard to take clone Primary Database at Specific Time?
e.g. Clone Primary Database at 10 AM and at 6 PM?
