Creating a standby on different host

Hi ,
We are planning to create a cross platform standby database.
our source db is on IBM AIX and standby will be on HP-UX.
oracle db version: 11.2.0.1
Is it possible to create a standby when primary and secondary will be on different host.
your suggestion are appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
Yes .. you can't do that.
For each architecture Oralce build their own binaries. (i.e Processor Power has is different binaries from Processor Intel)
For some architectures, Oracle succeeded in creating compatibility between some different architectures, the Table on note 413484.1 describe it.
Oracle has certified to use AIX (Power) with Solaris (SPARC), but because of bug (12702521) Oracle reported it's no longer certified.
In your case (AIX) there is no compatibility with others plataform. AIX binaries is compatible only with itself. (e.g Processor Power 4 with Processor Power 7)
If you still think about creating a DR environment, using a different platform (In your case AIX) you must search about use the Oracle Golden Gate or Oracle Streams.

Issue Creating Duplicate Database on Different host using RMAN Backup

HI friends..
I m trying to create a duplicate db on different host ....... 27
i have live production db on ............. 15
its up 24*7.
i know how to create dup db using cold backup..but dont know how to create it using RMAN Backup..
I have googled..but getting issues..
Steps Taken till now
Note- I dont have catalog created on live db..
I already have set the tnsnames.ora on both servers
1) Took full backup plus archivelog plus control file on 15
2) moved it to another host..ie 27
3) now on live db..
I conected to rman target /
so i m now connected to prod db
than i try to conect to rman auxiliary sys/sys@dubpd..
But it gives me insufficient privilages error..
Can you tell me what to do next..Coz unless i get into mount phase on sever 27( new server)..i cannot use the control file from backup).my dupdb is up in nomount phase..but what enxt i can do..to restore the control file and than restore the backup after cataloging them to right path..
Thanks in advance frieds...

i also have another entery with tns names- standby .on live server .. whose ip is 27..(other server for duplicated db).
now @command prompt..@live server.. i did sqlplus sys/sys@standby
It gives me ORA-12518
Am i missing something..1- It could be a network problem. You may enable tracing on listener (and examine the logs).
2- Add "DIRECT_HANDOFF_TTC_LISTENER=OFF" to listener.ora, then reload the listener
3- You may want to increase "large_pool_size"

I have made a website using iweb, as this will no longer be supported by apple, does that mean the gallery I have created on my website will no longer work even though I am hosting it with a different hosting provider. Will the other widgets no longer work?

There are a few things that won't work on other hosting sites; hit counters and pop-up slide shows for sure.

How to Protect two Apps running on two different Hosts using same OAM serve

Hi All,
I am new to OAM. I am trying to configure SSO for an Application using OAM 11g server which is already protecting another Application(Oracle EBS) on a different host.
Oracle EBS application uses the Oracle EBS Access Gate to collect the credentials.
Now what should I do to protect the second application say APP2. Should I require to install a new OHS instance and new Webgate for this purpose ? or can i use the one already used by EBS application ?
Please reply me soon
Thanks,
Prabhu

You may use the same OHS instance by creating additional reverse proxy filter for your application 2.
Or create another instance of OHS and configure webgate, OAM policies for your application 2.
All the applications configured with OAM will be configured for single sign on and no special configuration needs to be done.
Here are my comments to your questions:
1) Can you tell me why we should have different OHS and Webgate to protect the 2nd application ?
- As per best practices, you should have different OHS instances (+webgate) for different applications. But you may also configure the same OHS for multiple applications.
2) If we have different OHS and Webgate, then the same OAM session will be shared between the applications ? Basically the user will navigate from the first application to the second application by clicking a link on the first application's page. Will the OAM_REMOTE_USER header be passed on to the second application in this case?
- Yes, if you have different OHS and Webgate, then the same OAM session will be shared between the applications.
To pass the header variables to any application, add the variables in the application's OAM authorization policy responses.
3) By default OAM 11.1.1.3 sets the userid to the OAM_REMOTE_USER? or we should manually set a response header ?
- To be on a safer side, set this header on the authz policy's response tab and put the vallue as $user.userid

Dear user13295317,
Here is the error explanation;
Oracle Error :: TNS-12533
TNS:illegal ADDRESS parameters
Cause
An illegal set of protocol adapter parameters was specified.
In some cases, this error is returned when a connection cannot be made to the protocol transport.
Action
Verify that the destination can be reached using the specified protocol.
Check the parameters within the ADDRESS section of TNSNAMES.ORA.
Legal ADDRESS parameter formats may be found in the Oracle operating system specific documentation for your platform.
Protocols that resolve names at the transport layer (such as DECnet object names) are vulnerable to this error if not properly configured or names are misspelled.Hope That Helps.

Problem creating physical Standby database with RMAN

Hi All
I am trying to learn oracle dataguard and as part of the process learning creating standby database.
Platform : Sun-Fire-V250 Sparc, Solaris 10
Database Version - Oracle 11R2
I am creating standby database on same server, so directory structure is different.
Following the instructions on Oracle site I managed to create a functional physical standby database. But I am not able to create standby database using RMAN. These are the steps that I followed-
1.Set up all necessary parameters on primary database as done while creating physical standby database manually, eg setting force logging, creating standby logs etc.
2.Edited parameter file on primary database as done while creating manual pysical standby database creation. Some of the changes done are-
On Primary Database:
*.FAL_CLIENT='orcl11020' #Primary database unique name
*.FAL_SERVER='stdby_11' #Standby database unique name
db_file_name_convert='/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11','/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020'
log_file_name_convert='/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11','/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020','/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11/redo_mem','/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020/redo_mem'
standby_file_management=auto
*.log_archive_config='DG_CONFIG=(orcl11020,stdby_11)'
*.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=/<dir>/flash_recovery_area/ORCL11020/archivelog
VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES) db_unique_name=orcl11020'
*.log_archive_dest_2='SERVICE=stdby_11 LGWR ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) db_unique_name=stdby_11'
*.LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_1='ENABLE'
*.LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2='ENABLE'
*.LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT='%t_%s_%r.arc'
*.LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES=30
Copied same pfile for standby database and modified following-
*.control_files='/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11/stdby_11.ctl','/<dir>/fra_stdby/stdby_11/stdby_11.ctl'
*.db_name='orcl1102'
*.db_unique_name='stdby_11'
*.FAL_CLIENT='stdby_11'
*.FAL_SERVER='orcl11020'
db_file_name_convert='/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020','/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11'
log_file_name_convert='/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020','/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11','/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020/redo_mem','/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11/redo_mem'
standby_file_management=auto
*.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=/<dir>/fra_stdby/STDBY_11/archivelog
VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES) db_unique_name=stdby_11'
*.log_archive_dest_2='SERVICE=orcl11020 LGWR ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE)
db_unique_name=orcl11020'
3. Add relevant information in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files and then restart listener.
3. Created password file with same credential as primary database.
4.Up-to-date RMAN backup of primary database available.
5.Create standby controlfile with rman
While primary database s open (I tried with primary database in mount mode as well)-
$>rman catalog rman/paswd@rman target /
RMAN> BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE FOR STANDBY;
6. Open a new terminal and startup standby database in nomount mode using parameter file created -
$>ORACLE_SID=stdby_11
$>export ORACLE_SID
$>sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL>STARTUP NOMOUNT pfile='<location/initfilename.ora'
SQL>quit
$> rman AUXILIARY / target sys/passwd@orcl11020 catalog rman/passwd@rman
RMAN>DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE FOR STANDBY DORECOVER;
RMAN finishes without error but archive logs are not being tranported. Looking at the log, following caught my eye-
Error 1017 received logging on to the standby
Check that the primary and standby are using a password file
and remote_login_passwordfile is set to SHARED or EXCLUSIVE,
and that the SYS password is same in the password files.
returning error ORA-16191
FAL[client, ARC2]: Error 16191 connecting to orcl11020 for fetching gap sequence
Errors in file /<>dir>/diag/rdbms/stdby_11/stdby_11/trace/stdby_11_arc2_24321.trc:
ORA-16191: Primary log shipping client not logged on standby
Errors in file /<dir>/diag/rdbms/stdby_11/stdby_11/trace/stdby_11_arc2_24321.trc:
ORA-16191: Primary log shipping client not logged on standby
So on both primary and standby I confirmed
SQL> show parameter remote_login_passwordfile
NAME TYPE VALUE
remote_login_passwordfile string EXCLUSIVE
To make double sure that password files are same, I shutdown both databases, delete password files and recreated with same credentials.
Password files are called - orapworcl11020 and orapwstdby_11
Can someone guide me where thisngs are going wrong here please.

Not sure if I understood it clearly.
SELECT * FROM V$ARCHIVE_GAP;
returns no rows so there is no gap.
But could you please explain me the result of the previous query. To catch up again, on standby when I check
SELECT SEQUENCE#,APPLIED FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG
SEQUENCE# APPLIED
75 NO
74 NO
76 NO
77 NO
I understand that though archive files have been copied across but they are not applied yet.
On primary when I give your query -
SELECT name as STANDBY,SEQUENCE#,applied, completion_time
2 FROM v$archived_log
3 where dest_id=2
4 and sequence# BETWEEN 74 and 80;
I get -
STANDBY SEQUENCE# APPLIED COMPLETIO
stdby_11 74 YES 28-JUN-11
stdby_11 75 YES 28-JUN-11
stdby_11 76 YES 29-JUN-11
stdby_11 77 YES 29-JUN-11
stdby_11 78 YES 29-JUN-11
stdby_11 79 YES 29-JUN-11
stdby_11 80 YES 29-JUN-11
stdby_11 75 NO 07-JUL-11
stdby_11 74 NO 07-JUL-11
stdby_11 76 NO 07-JUL-11
stdby_11 77 NO 07-JUL-11
stdby_11 78 NO 07-JUL-11
I have intentionally given
sequence# BETWEEN 74 and 80
because I know in the current incarnaion of the database, max sequence is 78.
So my understanding is, the rows between 28-29 June are from previous incarnation, correct me if I am wrong
Archive files of the current incarnation, since I successfully created standby database are shipped but yet to be applied - am I right?
Then my final question is, when will these archives be applied to standby database?
I am sorry to ask too many questions but I am just trying to understand how it all works.
Thanks for your help again

Creating a standby control file for cloning a standby database

Hi
I am in the process of trying to document the cloning of a standby database. I am trying to amalgamate three different documents - one for a normal clone, one for the creation of a SB database, and the other a formal Oracle document - the Business Continuity doc.
Among the several things that confuse me, is the issue of creating (or not) a standby control file.
I am not doing any kind of data file deletion / copying from source to target, as the SB database is updated all day with data file changes. I am doing a complete copying over of the APPL_TOP and techstacks.
My question then, is this: should I be worried about creating a standby control file? I am told by our Senior here that "you can get away with not doing it", which sounds like too much of a risk to me.
I am under a bit of pressure for this and I am not 100% sure about certain issues (see my other post for knowing how many DATA_TOPS we have on the SB, for instance).
Thanks for listening.
AIX 5.2.
Oracle 10g.

Do you already have a Standby running ? (then it may be using a standby controlfile).
Yes. And there is already a standby control file there. It seems to me, that if the data (logs) transfers are done each minute or whatever between source and SB, and the SB is a copy of the db, then we dont need to worry about any kind of data files, since they should be identical. The only things I will need to change are the configuration files like the ifile in both dbs and tns_names, listener, tnsnames.ora, and the init.ora.
b. Are you creating a document about the process of creating standby from production ? If you plan to use DataGuard, you will need a standby controlfile. Otherwise , it depends on how you configure the standby.
No. I am creating a doc for how to clone from Production to a SB environment. A reason behind this is that the Apps side of the SB is about 9 patches behind the Production box, and we need to update it. I believe this is the main reason for doing this.
c. Just to check : You are NOT using Storage Mirroring -- ie D.R. ?
No, no DR on this environment.
Thanks.

Problem While Creating Physical Standby Using RMAN

Hi Guru's
May be this incidence you all face while creating physical standby DB. I try to create Physical standby database Using RMAN Duplicate Command from one server
(pri machine) to Standby Machine.
The steps i followed to create the above are as follows:
Step 1:- Enable Forced Logging
SQL> ALTER DATABASE FORCE LOGGING;
Step 2:- Configure a Standby Redo Log
SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE GROUP 10
2> ('/oracle/dbs/log1c.rdo','/oracle/dbs/log2c.rdo') SIZE 500M;
Step 3:- Set Primary Database Initialization Parameters
SQL> create pfile='?/dbs/pfileorcl.ora' from spfile;
Edit the pfile to add the standby parameters, here shown:
db_unique_name='orcl'
LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG='DG_CONFIG=(orcl,orcldr)'
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='SERVICE=orcldr LGWR ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=orcldr'
*.fal_server=orcldr
*.fal_client=orcl
*.standby_file_management=auto
Step 4:- Enable Archiving
SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE ARCHIVELOG;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
Step 5:- Setup tnsnames for standby database
This should be done on primary database by altering tnsnames.ora or using NetCA command, and create it by the name orcldr
orcldr =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = standby-svr)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcldr)
Step 6:- Backup database and copy it to standby
This backup script should be run on primary and copied to standby on the same mount point, running this scripts using RMAN, all files under /rman_backup should be copied to /rman_backup on standby server.
$rman target /
RMAN> run
allocate channel c1 type disk;
allocate channel c2 type disk;
backup database format '/rman_backup/%U';
backup archivelog all format '/rman_backup /%U';
backup current controlfile for standby format '/rman_backup/%U';
Step 7:- Standby Database Steps
Installing Oracle Software
This should be same release and patchset with exactly same ORACLE_HOME mount point.
Setting Up listener
Create and start a listener on standby database using NetCA, or creating listener.ora in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = standby-svr)(PORT = 1521))
Step 8:- Set Standby Database Initialization Parameters
Copying the pfile created in primary database and renames it to initorcldr.ora, and changes these parameters:
db_unique_name='orcldr'
LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG='DG_CONFIG=(orcldr,orcl)'
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='SERVICE=orcl LGWR ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=orcl'
*.fal_server=orcl
*.fal_client=orcldr
*.LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2='ENABLE'
Step 9:- Setup tnsnames for primary database
This should be done on standby database by altering tnsnames.ora or using NetCA command, and create it by the name orcl
orcl =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = primary-svr)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
Step 10:- Copy a Password File
A password file must be created on the Primary and copied over to the Standby site. The sys password must be identical on both sites. Copy orapworcl to $ORACLE_HOME/dbs and rename file to orapworcldr
Step 11:- Create mount points for Oracle
Mount point should be created on standby server with the same convention used in primary, this includes the location for controlfiles, redo logs, datafiles, archive log destination and alert logs.

Step 12:- Use RMAN to restore backup and setup standby
Connect to RMAN and execute the following command to create standby database, this should be performed on standby server after copying backup and setting tnsnames.
$ export ORACLE_SID=orcldr
$ rman target sys/tiger@orcl auxiliary sys/tiger@orcldr
RMAN> duplicate target database for standby dorecover;
Here i am getting problem as :
While trying to connect to traget database and auxiliary database i notice that when RMAN is connect to both databases it shows
orcl ( DBID xyz)
orcl (not mounted)
Here in my view the second database must be standby database name or auxiiary db name is standby db name which in my case is orcldr
after this issue i am facing the second issues as :
in command
duplicate target database for standby dorecover;
After modifying the command to
RMAN> duplicate target database to "standby";
rman-05520 database name mismatch
Can u please let me know where i am mistaking

ok for pri:
db_name=orcl
db_unique_name=orcl
for standby:
db_name=orcl
db_unique_name=sbyorcl ( i change orcldr to sbyorcl later)for new testing
but now what i am getting on

Managing dbs with same names on different hosts in GC 10.2.0.3

I saw this post: Ideas needed - monitoring same DBName in manual standby
But my issue is we have an environment that keeps the same db names for production, development, uat etc... Dbs are 10.2.0.3 on Solaris 10. GC is 10.2.0.3 on windows.
e.g. i have a cluster database HRMS, running on two nodes. On another server, i have a standalone instance HRMS and Grid Control was able to detect it. Weird, it looked like it didn't care about the same name here (may be there is a difference between a database instance and a cluster instance). However, if i were to discover another target on another node, it will complain saying there is another instance. I have used the workaround to manually add it as say HRMS_hostname. All is good.
I'm curious though as to how when you create a standby database using GC, it creates a different unique name. (DB_UNIQUE_NAME). The latter seems to be the solution in having dbs with the same name in GC with different db_unique_name parameter. However, this parameter is not modifiable.
Comments anyone?
Thanks.

Try this and rediscover the database in GC and see what you get.

Migration of local SLD to Central SLD on different host.

Hello Experts,
We have migrate the local SLD existing on the SAP PI System to a new Central SLD on a different host on SAP Solution Manager system.
I followed the OSS Note 720717, which contains the description of the changes that have to be exectued in the SAP XI/PI Environment, during the SLD Migration. This note does not give any details of the description of changes for the other SAP Systems such as SAP ECC, BI etc registered in the SLD.
Can anyone provide the OSS Notes, SAP Doc URL or the steps on how to migrate the local SLD existing on SAP XI/PI System to the new Central SLD on the SAP Solution Manager system.
Thanks for help in advance.
Best Regards,
Haleem

Firstly
I recommend to avoid having 1 SLD for multiple clients - like Solution Manager, BI, ECC
This is because clients may end up having conflicting requirements for the same SLD
- for example the small user group for Solution Manager may have a flexible and easy going policy on J2EE downtime
- but if you take down the Solution Manager J2EE that houses the SLD and PI uses this SLD - then you could have a severe affect on PI useage
Secondly
Although you can migrate content - this still does not guarantee the target landscape will work
- you may still need to manually re-implement target landscape configuration
let me give you an example
SLD 1 is being moved to SLD 2
Portal 1 is pointing to SLD 1
Even if you migrate the content of SLD 1 - including the ECC and Portal technical system landscape information
Portal 1 is still pointing to SLD 1 - this then needs to be manually re-pointed to SLD2
and that might not be all the complete steps either !
The complete steps of migration from the client side may not be available (I have found only steps to
migrate SLD content not migrate client use of the SLD)
- they may only be available as the documentation for the original configuration steps required to step SLD and the client
- therefore when migrating SLD you must go through the client setup documentation for SLD and check your
target landscape is consistent
Lastly - other considerations include
Lets say you also export model and CIM content from SLD 1 to SLD 2 - this means SLD 2 has an import line from SLD 1
- if you decomission SLD1 then you need to switch the import line which is not recommended - this could cause severe problems and may require you to create a new import line to upload content from SAP /swdc (which you need to keep the SLD bug free and latest definitions)
Just a few thoughts on issues you may encounter
Best wishes

Rman duplicate database from test to production different host

Dear All,
usually i do the rman duplicate (clone) database in different host using same backup location as the source database in target database.
now i am in situation to clone the database with different backup location
source database location:/u01/db/backup
target database location: /tmp_dbbkup
is it possible to create the duplicate database with the command
rman target sys@UAT1 auxiliary /
RMAN>CATALOG BACKUPPIECE '/tmp_dbbkup/UAT_2670198561_44_20110101;
RMAN>duplicate target database to DEV;
is it ok?
we dont have privilege/rights to create a folder/directory in production server.
what i have to do now?
thanks in advance.
my oracle version: 10.2.0.4.0
operating system: AIX

Hi rajeysh,

Creating physical standby databases with DG Broker & OEM

Hi guys,
I manage 8i, 9i & 10g databases through OEM 10.2.0.2.
Today, I would like to create physical standby db for the most important applications. Because I'm a lazy guy, I'd like to do it the easiest way, with GUI and wizzards provided by OEM.
1. Do you know any tutorial on the Internet that would help to do it easily ? My only source up to now is the official DB broker documentation (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14230/toc.htm), which is 300 pages long like every Oracle doc. I'd appreciate any tutorial that could lead me straight to the essential. I've heard that is not so tricky to create a physical standby db
2. Is the procedure really different to create (and then manage) a physical standby database on Oracle 8i, 9i and 10g ? Is it possible to do it through DB Broker and OEM for every version ?
thank you for your help
Antoine

Antionio,
Oracle Documentation is the best source of configuring any Oracle component.
But, If you do not want to read the entire doc, and want to configure Dataguard Broker (without OEM), then here is the Link.

This error means that when TimesTen is processing this statement and asks the operating sysstem for the official hostname of the local node the O/S is returning somethign different to 'node1' or 'node2'.
it may be that you have incorrectly set the hostname to inculue a DNS domain (e.g. node1.xxx.yy.zzz).
