ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGE STANDBY DATABASE

During the creation of Logical Standby database (NOAA2), after issuing the statement:
"ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGE STANDBY DATABASE"
the following error appears:
FAL[server, ARC1]: Complete FAL noexpedite archive (thread 1 sequence 46 destination NOAA2)
ARC1: Attempting destination LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2 network reconnect (3113)
ARC1: Destination LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2 network reconnect abandoned
PING[ARC1]: Error 3113 when pinging standby NOAA2.
Can someone please shed any light on the problem.
Thank you.

Perform these steps on Standby and see if it works
%lsnrctl stop

ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE

Hi,
on 10g R2, how to know if :
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE
DISCONNECT;
is already applied ?
thank you.

Should I issue the following and others on standby or on primary ?
select process,status from v$managed_standby;
Regards.You need execute that from standby instance.In additionally you can see standby instances alert.log.And if this process is active then if you execute this command again then you will get an error like "Media recover is active".

Trying to recover an standby database

- Oracle 10.2.0.4 Standard Edition
- O/S: Windows Server 2003
- Phisically Standby
We have primary and a standby database. My standby database was synchronized through copying archive redo logs from Primary to Standby. They were copied every 15 min to standby server and then they were recovered from there. Because a lot of archive logs were missed for ever, now my standby database is not synchronized with my primary.
In order to recover my Standby, one week ago I followed these instructions:
Step 1: On the standby database check the current scn.
STDBY> select current_scn from v$database;
CURRENT_SCN
2527075174
Step 2: On the primary database create the needed incremental backup from the above SCN
C:\Documents and Settings\frego>rman target /
run {
allocate channel c1 type disk;
BACKUP INCREMENTAL FROM SCN 2527075174 DATABASE
format '\\srvbackup\archiveslogs-35\arch\incr_bkp_%U';
Step 3: Cancel managed recovery at the standby database
STDBY>alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
Media recovery complete.
Copied the backup files to standby server to "D:\arch\" folder.
Step 4: Catalog the Incremental Backup Files at the Standby Database
D:\arch> rman target /
RMAN> CATALOG START WITH 'D:\arch\';
Step 5: Apply the Incremental Backup to the Standby Database
RMAN> RECOVER DATABASE NOREDO;
Step 6: Put the standby database back to managed recovery mode.
STDBY>> recover managed standby database disconnect;
Media recovery complete.
Step 7: On the primary create new standby controlfile
PRIM>alter database create standby controlfile as 'C:\incr_bkp\standby01.ctl';
System altered.
Step 8: At Standby .. Replace standby controlfile at all location as shown by controle_files parameter.
Copy the standby control file to the standby site. Shutdown the standby database and replace the stanby controlfiles and restart the >standby database in managed recovery mode...
Problem was that there were new datafiles created in primary that didn't exist in standby. I had to created them manually on standby:
ALTER DATABASE CREATE DATAFILE 'D:\ORADATA\PROD\OPEXT\DATAFILES_DATA\SIPESG_BLOB3.ORA' AS 'D:\ORADATA\PROD\OPEXT\DATAFILES_DATA\SIPESG_BLOB3.ORA';
ALTER DATABASE CREATE DATAFILE 'D:\ORADATA\PROD\OPEXT\DATAFILES_DATA\SIPESG_BLOB4.ORA' AS 'D:\ORADATA\PROD\OPEXT\DATAFILES_DATA\SIPESG_BLOB4.ORA';
ALTER DATABASE CREATE DATAFILE 'D:\ORADATA\PROD\OPEXT\DATAFILES_DATA\SIPESG_BKP.ORA' AS 'D:\ORADATA\PROD\OPEXT\DATAFILES_DATA\SIPESG_BKP.ORA';

ALTER DATABASE CREATE DATAFILE 'D:\ORADATA\PROD\OPEXT\DATAFILES_IDX\PADRONIDX17.ORA' AS 'D:\ORADATA\PROD\OPEXT\DATAFILES_IDX\PADRONIDX17.ORA';
Also, I tried this commands:
On Standby:

RMAN> STARTUP NOMOUNT;
RMAN> RESTORE STANDBY CONTROLFILE FROM 'D:\arch\standby01.ctl';
RMAN> SHUTDOWN;

- What is missing in order to open standby database?
- Can I again generate rman incremental backups on Primary (from SCN 2527075174), copy them to Standby and start recovery again? Would it generate duplicate records on tables?
- Should I generate new rman incremental backup pieces on Primary (from last SCN of Standby), copy them to standby and apply there?
Remember that my Primary is growing every day and those rman backup pieces and standby01.ctl, that are copied on my standby server, are from one week ago.
Thanks

damorgan,
He is running 8.1.7.0. "DataGuard" scripts were initially available for 9i and then
backported (and available as a seperate download) for 8i. Many 8i implementations
did not and do not use DataGuard.
Even if it is "Jurassic" {which it certainly is NOT}, they obviously do have a good
reason for setting up a standby -- they DO have data of value. So, maybe they have
not upgraded to 9i or 10g. There could be a dozen reasons
1. Server HW/OS doesn't support 9i/10g, not budgetting for Server upgrade
2. Application using Forms 2.x or 4.5 and not tested on 9i / 10g (4.5 not certified
on 9i)
3. Low end client PCs working perfectly with Character-mode forms, not powerful
enought to run Jinitiator and Forms 6i / 9i
Just because someone hasn't upgraded to 10g doesn't mean that they are at fault
when you do NOT know the reason why they have not upgraded.
Surely, they do know that 8i is desupported. Don't you think that their management
has undertaken due diligence / cost-benefit analysis in considering whether they
should upgrade to 10g ?
Maybe they have another project implementing 10g in parallel and will be able
to shutdown this environment soon. Maybe they don't need to do so.
Do understand that people are intelligent enough to make their own decisions
considering their particular circumstances and don't go shooting off with your
assumption that anyone not running 10g is a dinosaur.

Recover the standby database

Hi, I have both primary and standby database in ASM and I need to recover the standby database as it's falling behind for too long. The steps I did are:
1. backup full database on primary
2. create a standby controlfile and copy to /tmp on the standby
3. on the standby, RMAN>restore standby controlfile from '/tmp/std.ctl';
4. RMAN>restore database;
5. SQL>recover managed standby database disconnect;
However, the recovery always shuts down and I get the error:
ORA-01110: data file 1: '+W08_DATA_DG/w08p/datafile/system.295.662256331'
What's wrong with my steps?
Your suggestion is greatly appreciated!

the directory structures are the same. The standby was working before. It's just falling behind so I want to restore it from the new backup. Here is the init.ora

Problem in recover physical standby database(Data Guard) by rman

Hello to all
I have created a physical standby database ,I want make backup of it by rman and when I lose it's datafile I can restore it ,making backup and restore is fine but in recovery I encounter some problem
scenarios is follow
1- In rman I create a backup of standby database by this command:
backup database plus archivelog delete all input;
2- I run this comman in rman for recover standby database
run{

do you know what is problem

hi
I myself have found the solution , when I recover the standby database
it do recovery but at the end of recovery it raise the error(RMAN-06054: media recovery requesting unknown log: thread 1
seq 118 lowscn 1392700) but if I begain redo apply before open the database
and I wait till all redo apply process start and communication between the
standby database and the primary database start, then I can
open the standby database and no error will raise
but if befor restarting redo apply I open the database I'll recieve the
ORA-01152: file 1 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup
ORA-01110: data file 1: '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/sari/system01.dbf' error

DR in deferred state-methods to recover the standby database.

Hi all,
i am new to Data guard.
1.yesterday only i came to know the Log-ship from live to DR in deferred state before 6 months.
2.Now i am in the situation to resolve the problem.
3.only 5days log sequence only we have before that it will purge(shell script)
4.so there is no log collecting folder on DR server also.
5.so kindly provide me what are the methods to recover the standby database.
Its urgent.
thank you in advance,
regards,
Jumbo.

Hi SRP,

Physical Standby database Vs. Logical Standby database

I have few questions regarding capability of Logical Standby Database against Physical Standby database.
1. How efficient is Logical Standby database in terms of Physical Standby Database?? How both differ from each other and can I use Logical Standby Database for disaster Recovery?? Can It be use for recovering the failed Primary Instance?? If yes how efficient and reliable it is??
2. What are the known bugs and roadblocks for logical standby database on Oracle 10.2.0.1 on Soalris X86-64?
3.As logical standby database not going to replicate each and every schema of Primary database?? how is the change management effects to the logical standby from primary?? I mean there are some parameters and job that we create on primary how can it be transferred over to the logical standby??

1. How efficient is Logical Standby database in terms
of Physical Standby Database?? How both differ from
each other and can I use Logical Standby Database for
disaster Recovery?? Can It be use for recovering the
failed Primary Instance?? If yes how efficient and
reliable it is??I'm not sure what sort of "efficiency" you're talking about here...
Physical standby is just the old, tried and true application of archived logs to recover a database. Very solid, very old school.
Logical standby, on the other hand, is parsing the redo log, extracting logical change records, and applying them to the standby database. This obviously takes a bit more processing effort, it's newer technology, it doesn't have quite the level of support that physical standby does (i.e. certain data types are excluded), etc. You certainly can use it for failover, but it isn't quite as robust as a physical standby. Of course, this is getting better and better all the time and is definitely a focus of Oracle's development efforts.
On the other hand, logical standby systems can do things other than act as a warm standby. They can be open serving reports, for example. You can create additional structures (i.e. new materialized views) to support reporting. A physical standby is pretty much always going to be in managed recovery mode, so it cannot be queried.
2. What are the known bugs and roadblocks for logical
standby database on Oracle 10.2.0.1 on Soalris
X86-64?a) You'll want to do a Metalink search
b) If you're talking about a high-availability solution, why are you looking at a base release of the database? Why wouldn't you apply the latest patchset?
3.As logical standby database not going to replicate
each and every schema of Primary database?? how is
the change management effects to the logical standby
from primary?? I mean there are some parameters and
job that we create on primary how can it be
transferred over to the logical standby??I'm not sure I understand... Changes made to the primary generate redo. Oracle parses that redo, generates a LCR, and sends that to the standby database where that change record gets applied.

Implent streams on primary database having one standby database

hi
we have two databases one is primary amd second one is standby database.
i.e.,we implemented dataguard.
Now we are planing to implement stream of primary data to different database not the standby database.
Does any one suggest that streams can be implement along with dataguard.
I f yes please suggest to me how to implement streams in 10g release2.
Regards,
JAY

Hi Jay
I'm facing the same problem.
Did you or anyone else manage to put both working?
My problem is that I cannot get rid of the log_archive_config parameter. He demands me to include the streaming destination database on it. When I putted , he says that's not a dataguard database (off course is not) .... so , I'm in a deadlock trying to configure a dataware house model with streams under dataguard environment
Any help?
Thank you

Can i convert logical standby database to physical standby database

Dear All,
Can i convert a logical standby database to physical standby database?
If yes, what are the steps to follow?
Thanks
Mahipal

I never needed or tested something like this, but below maybe usefull -
Transient Logical Standby
Users can convert a physical standby to a transient logical standby database to effect a rolling database upgrade, and then revert the standby to its original state as a physical standby database once the upgrade is complete - using the KEEP IDENTITY clause. This benefits physical standby users who wish to execute a rolling database upgrade without investing in redundant storage otherwise needed to create a logical standby database.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/htdocs/DataGuardOverview.html
But opposite is documented - http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/create_ls.htm#BEIGJCAC
best regards.

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.

Automatic Loc Recover in Standby Database

Hello,
i'm trying to recover logs from a master DB in a standby db with a script which will be started every 8 hours by a task planner. I've found the autorecover command, but I don't know how to use the command.
MaxDB 7.5 is installed on Windows 2003 Server.
The last lines from backup_history_list output:
4718A5F20004 | LOG_000000004 | SAVE WARM | 2007-10-19 14:36:39| 2007-10-19 14:41:08| 2007-10-19 14:41:22 | 2007-10-19 14:41:23 | 1779 | 5823 | | TESTDB_LOG_BACKUP | 232 | 1 | 0 | |
Thanks for you help!

Hello Kilian,
The autorecover command can currently not be used to transport log backups into a standby database, as it is based on the backup history of the database to be recovered and as it always tries to restarts the database into mode ONLINE.
Best regards,
Tilo Heinrich

Recovering Physical Standby Database

I created a simple script to recover/synchronies physical standby database. This script runs on schedule basis and finds if any recovery is required and if so, it applies the required archived files, or otherwise it will give an error showing the suggested file is not found. I want to suppress that error message and I wonder if there is a way to do that, so Oracle will exit the session without displaying the error message.
Thanks

in earlier u ask about the error controling now younis u r asking about manual setup for standby.
anyways yes it is possible.
u create the replica of your database
like install the other server with same version and same datafile location and alll...
there is no automatic transmission from oracle but u can automate from script like using rpc and in windows its more easy to copy archive anyways
shutdown ur primary database copy all relevant files
and paste it to ur secondary database
now your database is ready in other machine as well.
now what routine you have to follow for doing manual standby is
you have copy all archives daily after copy of physical db files and also your control file from the primary database.
than recover database;
regards,
umair

Database refresh from standby database

All,
OS : Sun version : 11.1.0.7
I'm doing database refresh using stand by database datafiles in different server.
1)Disabled Data guard broker in standby database .
2)Copied all datafiles in mount stage to target server (different server)

Hi,
When you copy files of standby server to another target server ? - Yesterday.
Is standby is SYNC with primary? or MRP is still running? - ---------yes, standby db is running fine .
Even you can open database with resetlogs after recreating controlfile, no need of recovery too -- >I was unable to open . So went to apply arch files.
Do you have archive of thread 1 is in sequence #57887, -- No , Because sequence 57887 yet generate. I have applied all recent available archive log files.

How to convert logical standby database to Physical Standby Database

Hi,
Does anyone know how to convert logical standby database(10.2.0.3) to Physical Standby Database(10.2.0.3)? Is this possible? If so,please give me steps for it.
Thanks.
Regards,
RJ.

I don't believe this to be possible. One of the steps invloved in the creation of a logical standby is the following:
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
This makes the logical standby a different incarnation of the db from the primary.
A physical standby is a binary copy of a primary db, a logical standby is a completely seperate db that just happens to get sql statements applied to it that are generated from a primary db, but is open read/write.
One avenue, though would be if you had flashback database enabled and you flashed back all the way to when the db was a physical standby and then rolled forward with the archived redo logs.
It's somewhat unlikely you are in that situation, but that is a possibility.
Indeed the 11g snapshot standby does this sort of thing:
