Conceptual Question-Standby Database

Hi all,
I was just going through this documentation
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/log_apply.htm
In the beginning it says
"Log apply services automatically apply redo to standby databases to maintain synchronization with the primary database and allow transactionally consistent access to the data"
I want to know How does process takes redo log and apply to datafile?What is basically happening inside?
Cheers,
Neerav

Dear Neerav999,
If i would know your Oracle database version, i could give you a more detailed explanation but i will give it anyway;
There are options that you can use for the Oracle Data Guard. Data Guard is used for replicating the primary database to the standby database via the archivelogs and/or with the redologs. You may not have a standby redolog for maximized performance protection level and it is not mandatory however you need to have standby redos for maximized availiability and protection, protection levels of the Oracle database.
Starting from 11g, you can able to cancel the recovery process on standby site and open the standby database read only than (magic goes here) you can start the media recovery! The command list as follow for 11g;
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL --> This command will cancel the MRP0 process and will stop the continuous media recovery
ALTER DATABASE OPEN READ ONLY
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE [USING CURRENT LOG FILE] DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
--> Above command will start the media recovery process ON THE READ ONLY DATABASE!You can give it a try that one by creating a dummy table on primary and wait for one or two log switches and check back the standby database. You are going to see the table has been also created there.
So answer to your eternal question! :)
MRP process is there to fetch and request the archivelogs from the primary site. This process can be started with the below command;
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;You may have a simple test of cource. Cancel the MRP process and switch some logfiles on primary site. Than rerun above command to restart the MRP process and check v$dataguard_status fixed view. You will see that MRP is going to try to fetch the missing archivelog files and will try to close down the gap between the primary and the standby database. Here let me show you another 11g feature of Data Guard.
On 11g you can compress the redologs! What do you need to compress it? There is maybe the most threatning problem of the Data Guard is the connection itself. It should be fast and reliable. Otherwise the MRP process will fall behind and if you are running on maximum performance mode, it will also decrease the performance of the primary database and will hardly close the gap. You 11g Data Guard does is it compresses the log files in the fetching period. If its done with fetching and closed the gap than the normal transmission without the compression will continue to operate. Here is an example of redo compression parameter;
alter system set log_archive_dest_n = 'service= ORCLSTBY
LGWR ASYNC valid_for=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE)
db_unique_name=ORCLSTBY compression=enable'I have checked the link that you have given and its Oracle 10g but i have just written it to understand some real factors between the 10g Data Guard and the 11g Data Guard. There are also other changes but if you can go to the 11g New Features site you will see Arup Nanda's posts about it.
If you are to use the standby redologs and it is called "Real Time Apply" and you can see it on v$dataguard_status fixed view. Here is the information from the online documentation;
6.2.1 Using Real-Time Apply to Apply Redo Data Immediately
If the real-time apply feature is enabled, log apply services can apply redo data as it is received, without waiting for the current standby redo log file to be archived. This results in faster switchover and failover times because the standby redo log files have been applied already to the standby database by the time the failover or switchover begins.
Use the ALTER DATABASE statement to enable the real-time apply feature, as follows:
    *For physical standby databases, issue the ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE USING CURRENT LOGFILE statement.
    *For logical standby databases, issue the ALTER DATABASE START LOGICAL STANDBY APPLY IMMEDIATE statement.
Standby redo log files are required to use real-time apply.Here is a fixed view that you may see the processes;
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/dynviews_1169.htm#REFRN30144
PROCESS      VARCHAR2(9)      Type of process whose information is being reported:
    *RFS - Remote file server
    *MRP0 - Detached recovery server process
    *MR(fg) - Foreground recovery session
    *ARCH - Archiver process
    *FGRD
    *LGWR
    *RFS(FAL)
    *RFS(NEXP)
    *LNS network server processAll above indications are most verbose and your answer to your question resides here but you need to read it carefully to understand how Oracle applies log files.

  • Question regarding removal of physical standby database?

    We are running a 2 node rac cluster on linux itanium and we have setup one physical standby server. We did not use the data guard broker to setup the standby database we simply set 2 parameters log_archive_config and log_archive_dest_2.
    We now are looking to remove the physical standby server and I see that the 2 parameters are dynamic so I was trying to find out if it is as simple as running the alter system comands to reove the 2 parameters?
    I gues my real question is more about the syntax of removing the parameters?
    Would this syntax be correct?
    alter system set log_archive_config='' scope=both sid='*';
    alter system set log_archive_dest_2='' scope=both sid='*';
    and does it make a difference which parameter is removed first?
    Thanks I appreciate any help.

    the standby system is also a 2 node cluster but only one of the nodes has the instance up in a mount state running in recover mode and the other instance is simply shutdown.
    Thanks.

  • Questions regarding creating a physical standby database in 10gR2

    I'm setting up a physical standby database in a test environment using two windows 2003 servers. I was wondering if someone could answer a few questions I'm not too clear on.

    The next item I'm not sure about is after creating the control file for standby use.
    One the primary server I created it using:
    alter database create standby controlfile as 'sbcontrol01.ctl';
    I copied the primary database pfile I had created earlier to the standby server, renamed it and edited it.
    Initially I left the CONTROL_FILES= parameter pointing to the control01.ctl, control02.ctl and control03.ctl that I restored. But I was getting the error ORA-01665: control file is not a standby control file
    So I copied the sbcontrol01.ctl to sbcontrol02 and sbcontrol03.ctl and pointed the CONTROL_FILES= parameter at them.
    The error went away and the database came up. I still need to test it some more but wanted to see if what i did was correct or a fluke.
    Edited by: tjohnson on Mar 23, 2009 2:26 PM

    If in the primary I had control files named control01, control02 and control03 would I have been able to create a standby controlfile called control01.ctl or would I have had to name it something else like I did (sbcontrol01.ctl) and rename it to control01.ctl once I got it over to the standby database server?Suppose you have the primary database control file in C:\oracle\primary\control location with names control01.ctl and control02.ctl. Then also you can create a standby controlfile with control01.ctl and control02.ctl , but then the location to be created must be different.You can create it in C:\oracle\primary location and then transfer to the specified location mentioed in the pfile of the standby database and mount the standby database.
    But saying this i would suggested to keep the name different from control01.ctl as far as naming conventions are followed.It might confuse someoe whether its a primary database controlfe or a standby database controlfile.Usally primary database controlfile are named control01.ctl , coltrol02.ctl etc and for standby many do prefer keeping standby01.ctl, standby02.ctl.Thats just for for understanding.

  • A new question on how to Enable Flashback Database on the standby database?

    Best Practice document said:
    Enable Flashback Database on the standby database to minimize downtime for logical corruptions.
    I would like to know where to find document or anybody already had experience for this topic?
    Also I would like to know what is the best practice for backup/recovery of the Physcial standby database?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello;
    Just an opinion but I like the book "Oracle Data Guard 11g Handbook" as both the document and the answers to the second question.
    Chapter 12 covers the A to Z of RMAN with Data Guard.
    This book sold me on Flashback since Flashback allows a former Primary database to be reinstated after a failover operation with being restored ( provided sufficient flashback logs are available)
    My own experience is I tried a failover test without it and trash my test Primary.
    I did a simple failover test a few weeks ago, here are my notes.

  • 817 simple standby database questions

    i read the standby concept and tried to look for an answer on the web but couldn't get it.
    1. if i will use manage recovery enviroment can i lose transaction when the primary server is down?
    i read that it transfers the archive logs to the standby database but if the primary server "exploded" then i will lose all the transaction that in the online redo log and didn't archived yet.
    is it true ? am i missing something here ?
    2. if i will use a standby database is it important to have a regular hot backup of the primary/standby databases ?
    3. i still don't know if my net8 connection is down and my standby enviroment is manage recovery , what is the efect on the primary server ?
    thanks

    Hi zvika,
    I have make a standby 8i the last week, and I will try to answer your questions :
    1. Yes, you lose the all transaction from the last redolog which is not archived. When you have a standby database, you accept a minimum data lose.
    2. It's not necessary, if the standby is ok, you don't need a cold backup. You can save all archive files since the last cold backup.
    3. In this case, you have a warning (or error message) into the alert.log from primary database. And error message into v$archived_log view at standby line into your primary database. After what, it's depend if the init.ora parameter "log_archive_dest_n" for the standby dest is optional (recommanded) or mandatory.
    If optional, there is nothing to make, Oracle make itself.
    If mandatory (not recommanded), primary database stop all new entries (you need to change log_archive_dest_n to optional) and you need to copy manually all archive files which are created since the network problem and reapply manually it into the standby database.
    Hope this will help,
    Nicolas.

  • Oracle Dataguard Question on Physical Standby Database with a Time Lag

    I have a Standby database (PROD_LAG) that has a delay of 24hrs. How do I check to see what Archive have applied, what is current, and what is left to do.

    hi,
    ok a little bit more explanation.
    The GUI does work but seems to report incorrect data.
    I have carried out a switchover so the primary database is now 'offsite_emrep' and the standby database is 'office_emrep'
    The GUI how ever still reports that office_emrep is the primary database.
    I cannot add the offsite_emrep database as the host is unknown. I am however running the GUI from the Host.

  • Logical standby database questions

    Hi,
    1.Is it possible to encrypt just the logicals standby database? ie primary is not encrypted but when the data comes to logical standby it gets encrypted?
    2. Is it possible to replicate only certain schemas to logcial standby?
    Please let me know,
    Thanks a lot
    Sumathy

    Hi Sumathy,
    1.) Yes this is possible
    2.) Yes also possible. However Logical Standby will always gather all information from the primary, and only skip in the apply process.
    If you want to lessen your transfer, then you should use other replication mechanism like
    - Golden Gate (preferred but does cost money)
    - Streams (free, but depricated)

  • Standby Database Switchover Question

    I have a Primary and a physical standby database. I have tested switchover and failover to a point. I can't get my client applications to navigate to the "new" primary DB after switchover or failover. I assume it may be something to do with my tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files in my configuration. I will place the contents of the files below.
    I was expecting to be able to add the failover syntax to my client tnsnames file and things would be fine. Unfortunately, clinet apps don't failover to "new" Primary ("old" standby DB) when testing failovers; Additionally, when testing switchovers, the client apps try to connect to the "new" standby DB ("old" Primary) instead of the "new" Primary DB.
    I was hoping someone might see a syntactical error that is preventing a transparent application failover.
    Thanks.

  • Standby Database (QUICK QUESTION!!!)

    Hi folks,
    May I set more than one path to the standby_archive_dest parameter in my Standby Database?
    My current value is: /backup/SPCAP/arch/
    I want to change it to: 'arch1/SPCAP,arch2/SPCAP,arch3/SPCAP'
    Reason: I have 3 primary instances in a RAC.
    Their archives are always stored in first destination ('arch1/SPCAP','arch2/SPCAP' OR 'arch3/SPCAP') depending on the instance (1,2or3).
    The archiving never fails in first destination.
    The archiving sometimes fail to send the archives to the second destination (/backup/SPCAP/arch) wich is general and must have all the archives generated by the 3 instances... This is the destination wich my standby database uses to copy the production archives....
    So, does someone know how I can set 3 paths to standby_archive_dest? So I would solve the problems I'm having to recover standby database...
    Thank you in advance.....

    It will always be fetching the gap, but you can still have real time apply on and it will continue to apply trying to resolve all gaps. You may want to look into the recv/send_buf_size parameters and sdu_size. Take a look at the following white paper to help give you ideas to assist in your redo transfer speed.

  • 9i Standby Database - Failover Question - REF 227196.1

    Hi ,
    Im researching the use of a Standby DB for out Production DB....
    The Metalink DOC 227196.1 mentions that in failover , the Production going down , Standby becomes Primary and cannot be come Standby again , whereas with Switchover , they can be swapped as many times as you need for upgrades etc...
    "The Difference between a Switchover and a Failover is, that after a Failover, the Standby Database becoming a Primary now, cannot switchback to become a Standby Database again. In Opposition a Switchover exchanges the Database Roles (The Primary becomes a Standby and the Standby becomes a Primary). Switchovers can be performed arbitrarily, a Failover only once."
    If failover happens can someone tell me or point me in the right direction:
    a) Can you config Failover to happen automatically?
    b) If failover occurs , do you need to reconfig all the Primary/Standby DB again in the event that failover happens again?
    c) Any clear step by step guide to config of standby... The Oracle docs whilst very good are robust and some "summary" steps would be great
    thanks in advance

    Hi all, I configured dataguard in my local system, i ve a few qsns (as i am new, ve patience)
    1) scn differs wrt primary in standby (i checked, 1day difference), how to make scn same?Please do not use IM language here, instead of "qsns" use questions.
    SCN can be differ in standby and it can be behind to primary based on the backup you have restored. Of course by performing recovery you can synchronize standby with primary database. You can use incremental backups for standby using link http://www.oracle-ckpt.com/rman-incremental-backups-to-roll-forward-a-physical-standby-database-2/
    2)i created a table in primary, its not refelecting in standby, (below i ve pasted alertlog entries)

  • How to delete archivelog with RMAN in the Primary and Standby database?

    Hello,
    I am working on Oracle 10gR2.
    My question is :
    How could I implement a automatized and secure way of:
    1) Delete archivelogs on my PRIMARY server only when these logs are successfully TRANSFERED to all my standby databases?
    2) Delete archivelogs on my STANDBY server only when these logs are sucessfully APPLIED to the database?
    Thanks a lot for your help!

    on 10G
    CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO [CLEAR | NONE | APPLIED ON STANDBY];

    Hello;
    Generally for the connection to work you need to add something like this to the listener.ora file :
    (SID_DESC =
        (global_dbname = STANDBY.hostname)
        (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2)
        (sid_name = STANDBY)
    )You should stop and start the listener on the Standby after adding this. Also your tnsnames.ora must be correct on both the primary and the Standby.
    Also you need an INIT for the Standby side :

    Keys to success
    1. New Standby start NOMOUNT on new password file. ( On Oracle 11 you must copy and rename the file from Primary server )
    2. Hard coded listener on new Standby server.
    3. Correct tnsnames.ora files.
    4. Correct duplicate command.
    Please consider closing some of you old answered questions
    Best Regards
