i have attended an interview there i got a question like--->There are 100 archives generated in standby in that a series of five archives are missing and those are not available in the primary then how will you do.....
View 2 RepliesI 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.)
1) If i do changes in table on primary database and if i open standby database in Read-Only mode, i can see those changes immediately only if Real Time Apply is enabled. Am i correct? Database version is 10.2.0.4
2) From 11g, It is possible to apply redo while the standby is open in read only mode. prior to 11g, it was not possible. Right?
3) Should I first cancel Managed Recovery prior to issuing “ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PRIMARY”?
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 believe, in a multiple RAC Physical Standby nodes only one node applies the archivelogs to the standby database. How you can find which node is the APPLY NODE using a SQL query?
I know you can veiw this information by querying the standby configuration using DGMGRL but how would you find out this information from a remote client using SQLPlus/PLSQL?
My steps for testing as below:
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:

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?
Oracle 11g R2.
We are going to set up dataguard physical standby on 2-node RAC, which primary is also 2-node RAC.
PRD site: prd-node1 & prd-node2DR site: dr-node1 & dr-node2.
As I know, there is only 1 instance to do the redo apply on standby (i.e. dr-node1).
My question is, what will happen if dr-node1 failure (by shutdown abort or kill process)? will dr-node2 change to redo apply?

I have an issue whereby our standby instance was down for a couple of days and when it came back online we found an archivelog file was missing, so recovery only happened up to a point. It appears that the archivelog was deleted therefore we are unable to continue with this standby. We are now planning to rebuild the standby database. As far as i know all of the steps originally performed need not be performed to complete this task.
1. Shutdown standby
2. Delete all datafiles & redo logs
3. Copy over datafiles to respective directories
4. Copy online logs and archivelogs to standby.
5. Create a control file for standby database
6. Startup mount standby database
7. start redo apply
There are two servers.one in HP-UNIX and another is solaris.
I would like to configure a logical standby using oracle 9i...Is it possible in 9i?
Difference between standby and dataguard. I assume standby and dataguard are same?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWe 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.

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;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default

Today, I am learning dataguard 11.2.0.1. The docs said:A. Monitoring Standby DB Application of redo logs may be monitored by issuing the SQL command:
SQL> select client_dbid, process, sequence#, status from v$managed_standby;
In the primary database, the sequence# with the status “WRITING” would refer to the current redo log sequence#In the standby database, if the status of the process MRPO is “APPLYING LOG” and the status of the process LGWR is “IDLE”, then application of redo logs is up to dateI see that that MRPO at standby is "WAIT_FOR_GAP". How do I resolve this gap.
We have a 11r2 primary and standby running on RHEL 5. The primary lost network connectivity for a time and VMWare locked up. The VM admin restarted the primary VM (it was a hard-boot).

At my standby site my physical standby database is on 4 node cluster with all 4 instances up. I need to disable 3,4 instances so that we want it to run on only 1,2 instances.To disable the instances do i need to stop apply(mrp) process. And the apply node is node 1.

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.

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 want to run RDA on the physical standby, should I run in open read-only mode ?
