Data Guard :: Installation In Oracle 10g Database?
Sep 14, 2010
I am planning to use Data Guard facility in Oracle 10g database.
1) I would like to have a standby database, which can be used if the primary goes down and also for reporting and other queries (read-Only).
2) What is the difference between Physical and Logical standby database. I have to explain non-technical users (management) regarding this.
3) What is Sync and Async redo log apply?
4) When i manipulate data (Insert,Delete,Update) in logical standby database, will these changes reflect in Primary database synchronously?
5) Which type of REDO APPLY is better: Managed Recovery Process(MRP) or Real Time Apply(RTA)?
6) can the redo data be deleted if its obsolete or is it deleted automatically by oracle?
7) If i want to take backup, should i take it from primary or standby database? If standby, then the database should be in which mode (Read-only or Recovery Mode)
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 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
my customer wants to create a standby database for his production database (Oracle Standard Edition 11g R2 @ Windows 2008 R2 64 Bit). Now any proof-of-concept which explains shortly the concept and how to achieve it.
I'm trying to create a physical standby database on my Oracle9i DB runing on WinXP.
Note: I have both Primary and Standby on the same system.
Actually everything went well .... I did created the standby DB but the problem is I can not start my primary DB if my standby DB is mounted. I get this error:
ORA-01102: cannot mount database in EXCLUSIVE mode
And when I read about the error message I learnt that I should start my DB in compatible mode ...
I configured EM grid control(11g) and install agent.when I configured standby database by data guard I got error messages.examine and correct the following error(s), then re-try the operation.

We have an Oracle application 12.1.1 running with oracle database 10.2.0.4 and we're using HP-UX itanium 11i v3 servers for both application and database, our requirement is to establish a Disaster Recovery site out of our building to ensure data protection.
What is the best option we can use to reduce the cost and to implement the DR site? can we use data guard ? and will be the configurations and requirements for it?
We are planning to have new installation of 11GR2 and would like to create data guard for this system. I have one server in Houston and other in Austin TX. the OS will be Windows 2008 R2.
How can i set up data guard and what is the requirements?
My question is; I've been reading the Oracle database 11g R2 documentation at this link [URL]...
I passed a couple of days learning about all installation configuration parts including the desktop class and server class.As I was learning, So I had already downloaded Oracle Database Express 11g R2 for win32.
So as i had finished the installation guide I thought it's time to install the oracle now. I did it, and what I found was that there was not any option during installation that i read in above documentation. While trying to find about this difference i reached on documentation[URL]...
That is for express version only.
My question here is, Express edition, we use for learning purpose, But it doesn't look like it has all the stuff that we should learn during installation And what documentation I should follow from my above given two links?
I downloaded the 11G 64bit for windows and unzipped the files into one folder and ran the setup.exe as an administrator. It opened up the java screen and I chose, create and configure a database. Next screen I chose, Desktop Class, when I click next it dies. It does not show me teh next screen. I went to the appdata folder and saw this error but not sure what to do EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005).
If flashback is enable in physical standby database 1. If we failover at 11AM can I flash back NEW primary database to 6 AM ? 2. if I convert physically standby database to snapshot standby database at 11AM , Can I flashback snapshot standby database to 6 AM and do some works on it (DML operations) then converting the snapshot standby database into physical standby database ?
creating the standby database from Active database using RMAN and getting the below issue after i executed the duplicate command.
Version of Database:11g(11.2.0.1.0) Operating System:Linux 5 Error: RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-03002: failure of Duplicate Db command at 12/21/2012 17:26:52 RMAN-03015: error occurred in stored script Memory Script RMAN-04006: error from auxiliary database: ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor [code]....
provide any work arounds to proceed further in creating the standby database.
I have installed oracle 11g standard edition one and created both primary and standby database. now i want to know how to switch(convert) primary database to standby database.
i have configured physical standby in my local system, to check logshipping i created a table at primary db, wen i tried to check in standby, it says table does not exist..below are primary & standby alert entries..
Primary alert log

Here we have a data guard environment with db1(db_unique_name) as primary and db2(db_unique_name) as physical standby database. Also we configured one schema on a third machine as catalog database using following steps. The steps executed in catalog database(appsdb):

RMAN> create catalog; recovery catalog created
Added tns entries of catalog database in primary and standby. Then from primary database we tried to register to catalog database. It is showing that it is registering. But every query afterwards in rman is throwing the error. Below are the steps and error:

1) scn differs wrt primary in standby (i checked, 1day difference), how to make scn same?
2)i created a table in primary, its not refelecting in standby, (below i ve pasted alertlog entries)

I have set up a cross platform (Microsoft Windows IA (32-bit) -> Linux x86 64-bit) data guard and it worked fine.Then I did a switch over (which again worked) and found out the data is not getting replicated at all.. checked the data files available from the new primary database and found out they are in the windows format as below..
SQL> select name from v$datafile;

I have a clients who currently implementing an application that using Oracle 10g in 20 distributed location. Each location will have its own database server and locally managed. I plan to create a Disaster Recovery (DR) Centre for this client in centralised location. I plan to setup 20 Application Server but only one database server with 20 instances. My question, can the Dataguard manage the replication between 20 database (with single instances) and single database (with 20 instances? The reason we design such way is to reduce the license cost of Oracle.
The GAP archived log can not transport to target database by auto, how can i do?

Check that the CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME initialization parameter is defined to a value that is sufficiently large enough to maintain adequate log switch information to resolve archivelog gaps.
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 need to drop standby database completeley and rebuilt physical standby for the same database. We identified there are lot of inconsistencies between primary and standby. How do i need to remove the standby? And what is the best procedure?
I was able to create the standby database on different server with the same name for the primary and standby database but I want to know that can I create a standby database with different database name than that of the primary database server.
we have a created primary and physical standby databases. Before the switchover the application connected to dataguard allows updates on the database. However after the switchover, it allows read-only access and we are unable to update. Any comments prima-facie ?
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.
