Log shipping stopped logging/shipping into the Standby Database in one of our Oracle Data Guard Servers about two month ago and there was no change carried out as at that time. The Data Guard has only one Standby database. I have been managing the log shipping and recovery manually.
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;

We have physical data guard configured version (10.2.0.4). We are in need to upgrade primary & standby database to 11G R2. Can we perform rolling upgrade.
As I have implemented data guard in my server. But its not generating archive in standby. May be I am missing some steps. Can any one share Dataguard / standby in oracle 10gR1 steps to be followed.
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)
There is a Single Instance production server Oracle 9iR2 [9.2.0.8] OS HP-UX PARISC 11i v1 to RAC.
Now we want to migration this server with minimum downtime to Oracle 11gR2 [11.2.0.2] in RAC environment OS HP-UX 11i v3 Itanium DOwn time must be minimum. what will be the procedure ?
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
Do we have any plan to create DR ( disaster site) for ORACLE 10G standard version. Since, Data Guard is not available with Standard version, can we have any another plan for the same.
how to change non - SYS oracle users' password in data guard envirnment. We all know that for SYS password change in data guard. DBA has to change in primary database by either "alter user SYS identified by xxxx" or create password file with orapwd.
Then scp password file to standby database. However, if I want to change SYSTEM or DBSNMP passwords, I change on primary with " alter user ....." SQL, then new passwords will be login dictionary. But this new SYSTEM pqssword will be shipped with redo log to standby and SYSTEM password on standby will be updated? I need technical answer on this question
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 ...
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?
i want to configure my present Data Guard Setup with Enterprise Manager...and on the Enterprise Manager grid control page i am not seeing any Data Guard option.....i am using oracle 10gR2 and Windows XP.
How to use enterprise manager for configuring Data Guard.
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 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

Statspack has been configured for Active Dataguard on Primary database.We got an spike of Buffer busy waits for about 5 min in Active Dataguard, this was causing worse Application SQL's response time during this 5 min window.Below is what i got from statspack report for one hour

Why there could sudden spike of demand on UNDO data in Active Data Guard ?
I am working in a bank as an system consultant, i have a SAN Storage Area and oracle as below.
SAN 1
This interface includes the DATA FILES of the oracle tablespace
SAN 2
SAN1 Mirrors the DATA FILES of the oracle tablespace to SAN 2
1. Can i rely on real time data recovery from SAN2 ? 2. if SAN1 (Data Files are currupted) will the SAN2 Data Files will be currupted as well. 3. If the SAN2 is currupted then what Oracle Features can be used to have uncurrupted data.
i did everything writen but when i do *SQL>alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;*
i go and look in the standby database AlertLog file ,and thats whats writen
*ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 1 - see DBWR trace file ORA-01110: data file 1: 'F:ORACLEPRODUCT10.2.0ORADATADBSYSTEM01.DBF' ORA-27041: unable to open file OSD-04002: غير قادر على فتح الملف O/S-Error: (OS 3) The system cannot find the path specified.

strange thing that it realises the primary database in drive F and it goes to it but i dont understand what could be the reason of this ,although im doing this command while primary database is shutdown!
I configure logical standby online .when I execute dbms_logstdby.buid,first
SQL> EXECUTE DBMS_LOGSTDBY.BUILD;
it was blcoked by other sesson,then i kill the holding session,but no work.then i cancel this step and execute it again . the error is

Our organization has recently decided to go for storage metro cluster solution for disaster recovery. In a Data guard environment, we normally calculate how much archive log is generating and based on that value we calculate the required bandwidth.
For storage metro cluster, we need to find how much block is changing in our primary database, and the same rate of change would apply on DR cluster. Now, i need to give the assumption how much changing is happening in my system. How to calculate the change.
i'm using a mixture of Oracle� Data Guard Concepts and Administration11g Release 1 (11.1) And Bulletin : MAA - Creating a RAC Physical Standby for a RAC Primary 10g ( on oracle support) But neither is comprehensive for what i'm trying to do.
setting up Data Guard Broker on a RAC Data Guard environment?
I am very new to data guard...I have a primary and a physical standby database...If the primary got crashed, are the users directly switched to physical standyby (is it automated) or the DBA has to manually do the fail over or switch over....is it the same concept as in RAC like TAF....How can the DBA know that the users are disconnected from the database.....explain with some steps...
I did upgrade from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.4 on the secondary database , the primary database version is 10.2.0.4,i took cold backup from the primary to the secondary database , when i try to create control file on the secondary , i am getting this ORA-01130: database file version 10.2.0.3.0 incompatiable with ORACLE version 10.2.0.1.0.*
