Can you convert a Logical standby to a Physical Standby?

Is it possible to convert a Logical Standby database back to a Physical Standby database? The reason I am asking is that I would like to convert my Physical Standby database to a Logical Standby database, do a rolling upgrade from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.2 then convert the standby back to a Physical. Does anyone know if this is possible?

I would consider logging a TAR with Oracle support for suggestions.
Here's mine:
Install 10.2.0.2 into new, separate Oracle homes(10.2.0.1 & 10.2.0.2 patch & CPU2006Apr & 4516865 patch) on Prime and SB Nodes.
Create a New 10.2.0.2 database.
Then transport the tablespaces from Old Primary to New Primary.(short downtime)
Drop current DR Configuration.
Stop and Drop the 10.2.0.1 databases, then rename the 10.2.0.2 to same SID as old one (short downtime) .
Search for and follow the "create standby with minimal downtime" document from metalink.(use "minimal" as search string).
Your Total downtime should now only be a few minutes.
Test the whole idea first though, using 'toy' sized databases. (All care, no responsibility etc)

  • How to convert a Logical Standby DB to a Primary

    Hi,
    I have an issue with our Data Guarded cluster (two nodes, one Primary and one Logical Standby Oracle 10i DBs running on HP-UX 11.23)
    The issue is that for some reasons the Primary and the Standby are out of sync in terms of archive log sequences.
    For instance the primary shows:
    Date: Feb-27-2009 14:02:33
    ID DESTINATION STATUS ARCHIVED_THREAD# ARCHIVED_SEQ#
    1 /db05/oradata/NSMS/archive/ VALID 1 864
    2 stdby VALID 1 10
    3 /db05/oradata/NSMS/archive/DR/ VALID 1 11
    11 /db05/oradata/NSMS/archive/DR/ VALID 1 864
    Report on Redo Log Gaps between Primary and Standby.
    Date : Feb-27-2009 14:02:33
    LAST_SEQ_RECD LAST_SEQ_SENT
    863 864
    But the STANDBY shows in the alert log:
    LOGMINER: Begin mining logfile: /db05/oradata/NSMS/archive/DR/arch673877647_1_304.log
    Fri Feb 27 12:51:36 2009
    LOGMINER: End mining logfile: /db05/oradata/NSMS/archive/DR/arch673877647_1_304.log
    Fri Feb 27 12:51:36 2009
    LOGMINER: Begin mining logfile: /db05/oradata/NSMS/archive/DR/arch673877647_1_305.log
    Fri Feb 27 12:51:39 2009
    LOGMINER: End mining logfile: /db05/oradata/NSMS/archive/DR/arch673877647_1_305.log
    since the DBA_LOGSTDBY_LOG contains on the STANDBY:
    $ is_db_apply_current.sh
    1 300 595040838 595042886 YES
    1 301 595042886 595042919 YES
    1 302 595042919 595096418 CURRENT
    1 303 595096418 595127201 CURRENT
    1 304 595127201 595159342 CURRENT
    1 305 595159342 595207457 CURRENT
    At this point I don't know how to cleanup the situation on the Standby.
    I tried to resync completely form primary copying all datafiles and archives but still cannot reset the archive sequence on the STANDBY, so that it keeps looking for the wrong archives.
    Thanks in advance !

    Hi
    Problem seems different then post heading."How to convert a logical standby to primary" stepts are follow.
    On primary site.
    1.On primary site "alter database prepare to switchover to logical standby".
    2.On standby site "alter database prepare to switchover to parimary;
    3.Check "select switchover_status from v$database to both sites.
    4.At primary site When status becomes to_standby then "alter database commit to switchover to logical stanedby".
    5.At stndby site "alter database commit to switchover to parimary".
    6.After successfully switchover at new logical standby site "alter database stard logical standby apply".
    For you problem ,Can you paste following from standby site.
    1.select applied_sequence#,last_sequence# V$logstdby_progress.
    2.select * from V$logstdby_stats
    3.select * from v$archived_log
    Also from primary site,
    1.select * from v$log.
    hope this will help U.

  • What is the differnce between Blue,Purple and Orange Audio Tracks. Can you convert either to Green Midi Track?

    What is the differnce between Blue,Purple and Orange Audio Tracks. Can you convert either to Green Midi Track?

    Are you asking about Garageband? Your signature also mentions Logic, but I have never worked with that.
    Concerning Garageband:
    Real Instrument regions from your recordings are purple.
    Real Instrument regions from Apple Loops are blue.
    Regions from imported audio files are orange.
    Software Instrument regions from recordings, loops, and imported MIDI files are green.
    So far as I know you can convert software instrument loops to real instrument loops, but not real instrument loops to software instrument loops.

  • Can you convert your desktop site plan into the phone & tablet version w/o re-creating the pages?

    Can you convert your desktop site plan into the phone & tablet version without re-creating the landing pages? This seems too extensive to have to re-design each page?

    Cwsnell,
    On your nav bar there is a shorcut to other pages.
    The most effecient way I have found to do this from the phone layout,
    click on the page icon shown above
    type in the name of the page (and select the desktop version as indicated by the icon of the monitor)
    select all on that page (CTRL A / Command A) and copy (CTRL C / Command C)
    revert back to the phone layout page and paste (CTRL V / Command V)
    then resize, delete what you dont need, make any other edits and your done!
    There is not a way to copy a page entirely over.  The mobile version should have less information and less imagery to enable fast load times.

  • Can you convert MS word to pages?

    Can you convert MS word to pages?

    I see you just list an iPad, but you've posted in the Pages for Mac forum, so I'm going to assume you are asking about Pages on a Mac. Pages can open most Word documents (probably Word 97 or later). The conversion most likely won't be perfect, so be prepared for some differences.

    Can you convert your text messages from your phone to your computer?

    Text messages are included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. There are utilities such as this one that provide for extracting this and other data from your iPhone's backup for access on your computer for reading, printing, archiving, etc.

    There are other utilities such as this one which is compatible with a Mac for extracting select data direct from the iPhone.

  • Can you convert a Windows Quickbooks Pro 2011 file to an Ibank file?

    does anyone know if you can you convert a Windows Quickbooks Pro 2011 file to an Ibank file?

    I can't answer for Internet Explorer but you should be able to export Bookmarks from FireFox. If you can't export from IE you may be able to import from EI to FireFox first.
    In FireFox, menu BookMarks>Organize Bookmarks, then in the pane which opens, menu File>Export (that's how it works on Linux so Windows should be broadly similar). The result should be an html file.
    You may be able to import this into Safari on your Mac; certainly you should be able to import it into FireFox and perhaps from there to Safari if necessary.

  • Can you convert a Widows media player song to IPOD?

    can you convert and widows media player to and itunes mp3 song?? for example i have songs on windows media player that i want to put on my ipod once its fixed, but how can i? i usualy just have to wait untill i have enough songs to burn on to a cd then put it onto itunes that way

    Aoneil, if it's an unprotected mp3 file...no problem. iTunes will recognize the file when you import it into iTunes. Now...if the file is a protected WMA file, that's a little different. You'll have to burn the protected songs on to a CD-R or CD-RW disc and then re-download them into your computer. They will then show up as a unprotected mp3 file which you can import into iTunes. If you have them, I'd use a CD-RW disc to do your burning. You can re-use the disc for future burnings.
    Good Luck!

    All iTunes cards/certificates are country-specific, so they can only be used in the country in which they were issued on accounts based in that country. If the card came from a different country then do you know anybody in that country that you could give or sell it to ?
