Standby Database with Standard Edition

Hi All,
I'm attempting to setup a Standby database with Oracle 10g Standard Edition. I must manually copy over the archive logs to my Standby database server because i'm using Standard Edition.
Once my primary database archive logs have been copied over to the standby location shouldn't the database automatically apply those archive logs? I have issued the "alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session" so my understanding is that it is in recovery mode and shoudl be finding the archive logs to apply. Can anyone confirm that this configuration should work with Standard Edition and perhaps point me in the right direction, which parameters in the init file to check, to get my standby database to apply these archive logs automatically.
Thanks,

To quickly determine the level of synchronization for the standby database, issue the following query on the physical standby database:
SQL> SELECT ARCHIVED_THREAD#, ARCHIVED_SEQ#, APPLIED_THREAD#, APPLIED_SEQ#
2> FROM V$ARCHIVE_DEST_STATUS;
ARCHIVED_THREAD# ARCHIVED_SEQ# APPLIED_THREAD# APPLIED_SEQ#
1 947 1 945

Oracle manually standby database with standard edition

Hi, I want to have a plan for disaster. I'm triying with two virtual machines with oracle database 10g on suse linux. I follow these URLs
http://www.dbasupport.com/oracle/ora10g/manual_standby.shtml
http://oramdq.blogspot.com/2009/05/como-configurar-un-sistema-de-alta.html
and it look that work all right.
I know that with manually standby database we applied archived logs, and so, we don't propagate any physical changes to secondary database (standby), for example, if I create a new tablespace, or adding a new datafile to an existing tablespace, it don't work in the secondary database.
Anyone does know how is the better way to apply the physical changes??
Anyone have any scripts to do that?
Thanks in advance.

HI,
Add the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT = AUTO to the primary parameter file, it will solve it.

ASM Direct file access (for creating standby database in Standard Edition)

Hi all,
Just really looking for any opinions, experience etc. that people may have about this.
My company are looking to set up a RAC system. They have also asked me to think about creating a standby database for disaster recovery. The first problem they give me here is that they only pay for Standard Edition of Oracle, therefore Dataguard is not an option.
I know that one can setup "manual" standby databases with Standard Edition, automating the shipping of archive logs with hand-written scripts etc. However, as the primary here is RAC, and will be using ASM on the shared storage, I'm not sure that this would be possible (and I'm even less sure that it would be desirable!). I say this because I don't know of a way to access (using only the O/S and/or Oracle) the database files stored in ASM, and even if there was a way, I can't imagine it being a good idea..
Anybody know of a way to tackle it, or care to contribute anything to this? As I say, my opinion is that even if it is possible to get to those files within ASM and hence manipulate them, I'd be worried that it wouldn't be such a good idea. But I'm willing to bet I'm not the first to have thought about it...
Regards,
Ados
Edit 1:
Sorry, I should state that in principal, the basic environment is:
Windows 2003 Server
Oracle 10g R2
I didn't state that originally though, as I'd be keen to hear from anyone who may have attempted this on any O/S and Oracle version.
Edited by: Ados on 16-sep-2009 9:32
Edit 2:
I also realise we could put the archive logs on the local nodes.. but to reinforce the point, I'm talking about having them on the shared storage where - in theory - the management is easier and more effective.
Edited by: Ados on 16-sep-2009 9:35

For anyone interested..
I guess it would be done using RMAN (in fact, I'm sure of it...) in which case, I feel a lot more comfortable doing it!!
For example:
backup as copy archivelog ALL to destination 'c:\temp\';
This way, it shouldn't matter if the arch logs are stored using ASM, we can now get them and "see" them.. and hence "manipulate" them (pass them on to a standby DB, for example).
I'm just waiting to get my hands on a Standard Edition installation where I can test all this.. To try it all out (with 2-node RAC, and a standby server) I don't think I'll get a chance, so still interested in opinions, or if anyone's actually done this.

Regrading standby database in standard edition

hi gurus
i m facing problem in configuring standby database in standard edition windows 2008 .
os-windows 2008 standard
oracle 11gr2
i have copied files from primary n copied it to same location on standby...at that time database was in noarchivelog mode
then i made it archive n create standby controlfile...also i have created same service name thru oradim with mentioning pfile and same password as on primary
so it created pfile and password file...
i opened the database in nomount with pfile
then mount with standby controlfile it got mounted n the mode is automatically archivelog mode but as i didn't taken the same pfile of primary it didnt take the destinations as such n made archive in flash recovery area
now i m a bit confused how to apply archive..i copied some archive and placed it in flash rec area
i tried all options managed recovery.recover standby database,recover database until cancel
but all give error
please tell how i proceed..what shud b the right process in standby standard edition
if possible send me a good link for standby database creation in windows 2008 standard with how to ftp files with mget mput..
anyone if kindly provide a good link...wud b of great help
thanks all

on your standby database you can use:
set logsource path_to_archives
This will let Oracle know where the archive files are on the standby database.
Then you can apply the archives with:
recover standby database
Another option is to use Dbvisit Standby to automate the whole standby database (including creation) for you when you have Oracle Standard One or Oracle Standard Edition One.

Physical standby database in Standard Edition.

Hi, we have Standard Edition and want to implement a stand by environment. Is it true that with this edition archive logs are not transported automatically to the stand by server using LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST = my_stdby_service ?
Also, let's suposse I managed to transport archive logs, do they get applied by stand by database automatically or with Standard Edition the only way we have is applying them manually?
Thanks and regards.

Hi
Ref to your SE Standby database, if you are still looking for an Automated Solution you can visit www.anbultechnologies.co.uk . In solutions you can find a product which provides fully automated Standby solution with Automatic failover. We have been using that solution for couple of years without any problems.
This solution is based on Oracle Standard Edition and provide functionaility similar to EE data guard.

Archive apply issue for standby database in Standard Edition.

We have setup standby database in Oracle standard edition. the archive log cannot be send by oracle automatically. So we manually send the archive over. But do not see the database apply the archive log file. What could be wrong and where should we check on it?
We also used following when finishing the standby DB after running "recover standby database;" for a few archive log file:
alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
======================================================================================
This is the status:
SQL> select OPEN_MODE, SWITCHOVER# ,REMOTE_ARCHIVE ,ARCHIVELOG_CHANGE#,SWITCHOVER_STATUS, DATABASE_ROLE from v$database;
OPEN_MODE SWITCHOVER# REMOTE_A ARCHIVELOG_CHANGE# SWITCHOVER_STATUS DATABASE_ROLE
MOUNTED 495550636 ENABLED 1.2201E+13 SESSIONS ACTIVE PHYSICAL STANDBY

The DB version is 10.2.0.5
I can do this to apply at standby DB:
SQL> set autorecovery on
SQL> recover standby database;
Then I tried to run this to leave the session:
alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
Do not seen any apply.

Standby Database with Oracle Standard Edition

Hi,
my customer wants to create a standby database for his production database (Oracle Standard Edition 11g R2 @ Windows 2008 R2 64 Bit). Now has somebody a proof-of-concept which explains shortly the concept and how to achieve it.
Many thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Martin

Hi
We have the following options :
1. Oracle Enterprise Edition (EE) - Will have automatically 'Oracle DataGuard' option. No extra license for Oracle DataGuard. We have to purchase Oracle EE for both the sites.
2. Oracle Standard Edition (SE) - Will not have 'Oracle DataGuard' option. So we can't implement Standby database.
3. Oracle Standard Edition (SE) - Will not have 'Oracle DataGuard' option. If you want to implement disaster recovery site we have to purchase Oracle GoldenGate for both the sites. But we have to Oracle GoldenGate license for both the sites
Thanks

Logical Standby Database with 10g+ASM on both sides??

Hi out there,
is there a known way to establish a logical standby database on 10g, if both
sides are running with an ASM setup?
I've tried to create one out of a physical standby database (which is set up
and running w/o any problems), like a book suggested me to do.
The procedure was:
1. switch on supplemental logging
2. prepare initiation parameters (for archive logging etc.) on both sides for
logical stb.
3. shut down the phyiscal standby
4. alter database create logical standby controlfile as '<path>'; on the
primary, transfer the controlfile to the standby db. Here I had to use RMAN
to copy the controlfile into the ASM System, and modify the initfile/spfile
in order to use the controlfile. No problem so far.
5. mount the standby database, alter database recover managed standby database
disconnect; -> At this point, the alert log complained about non-available
datafiles.
6. alter database activate standby database; --> fails ("needs recovery") due
to last point.
The trouble is, the controlfile created at point 4 cointains wrong paths to
the datafiles. Since I can not have the same disk group name on the standby
system, and since ASM renames the stored datafiles by its own, the complaints
of point 5 are comprehensible, but nevertheless annoying.
I tried to backup a controlfile to trace and change the paths, but at after
mounting the standby with this controlfile and proceeding at point 5, the
system says "<path> is not a standby controlfile"
Is there a different way of creating a "Logical Standby Database with 10g+ASM
on both sides"? Metalink said nothing about LogStby and ASM.
Best regards and thanks in advance,
Martin

I'm not sure if this will work but try:
1. create trace control file (you did it)
2. change paths (you did it)
3. recrate control file (you did it)
... there was error occured during mount before
so mount database (not as standby)
4. create standby control file (from recreated control file)
5. shutdown instance, replace control file with new standby control file or replace the control filename in parameter file.
6. mount as standby
What happend?
Update: Tested on my side and it has worked fine... How about you?

Standby database with different directory structure

Hi,
sorry to say that we are in desupported version due to some constraint.
oracle version : 8.1.7.0.0.

I need to create physical standby database with different directory structure:

Looks like very difficult and inform you mgmt about the drawbacks of running olderv ersions
may be you can try something like this but i dont know whether it is supported or not
db_file_name_convert=['/dev/vx/dsk/suportaldg/oracle3','/dev/vx/dsk/suportaldg/STDBY/oracle3']

What are the differences of creating a physical standby database with ASM?

I want to create a physical standby database for my 10g(10.2.0.1) database. But it is using ASM. Is it possible to create a standby database for a database using ASM?
What are the differences of creating a physical standby database with ASM?

tell us what your research shows and we'll try to
validate it. I am simulating Oracle ASM on a PC and I want to try
DataGuard on it now. So I am trying to create DataGuard
on an ASM system. The purpose is only learning and test.That's telling us how you are researching, not what you have observed.
Your research could have included looking at the documetation, and you might have found http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/scenarios.htm#sthref1642

Ocfs with standard edition

Dear all,
We need to install 11.2.0.2 RAC on linux rhel Red Hat Enterprise Linux v5.5,x86-64 (64 bit machine) and client needs standard edition. Can I use OCFS with

Oracle10g Standard Edition does not support use of using the Oracle Clustered File System (OCFS) for the physical database files. This is documented in Metalink Note ID : 358248.1.

Creating a Standby Database with the Same Directory Structure

Hello gurus,
I am self-learning the feature Oracle Data Guard, so I am testing it on Oracle 10g R2.
At Oracle documentation there is a section F.4.: Creating a Standby Database with the Same Directory Structure*, that explains how to create a standby database with RMAN but there is something that I don´t understand:
In the standby server, I created a database with the SID equal to production database* with the objetive to have the same directory structure, but when I try to startup nomount the standby database with pfile appear this expected error:
ORA-16187: LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG contains duplicate, conflicting or invalid attributes
So my question is: Is possible have the Same Directory Structure on both: Production and StandBy server?
Thanks in advanced.

Uwe and mseberg: thanks for your quick answers
I have a doubt: How can you have the same directory structure if you have differents SIDs?, for example if you follow the OFA suggestions you would must have:
On Production server: */u01/app/oracle/oradata/PRIMARY/system.dbf*
On StandBy server: */u01/app/oracle/oradata/STANDBY/system.dbf*
Or you created the directory structure manually on StandBy server? For example replacing the string STANDBY* to PRIMARY* before create the database using dbca.
Do you understand my doubt? Excuse me for my english.
Thanks.

Standby Database with Recovery Manager

Logical standby database resides on another server. some archive log files are not synced with standby database
I want to recreate standby database with rman
Any step by step documentation ?

Before you recreate all and everything, try the troubleshoot hints in the document mentioned in the previous post.
