Creating Standby Database / Steps might be missing..

I have created standby database..
The archives are copied except one archived log and those copied archived are not applied at Standby database.
Besides this issue, I just checked the alert log file and pasting its contents here.
Do check it and let me know If I m missing any paramter[s].

Done, I've given the same path in Standby Database [datafiles, controlfiles] as it has been given in the Primary Database.
MoreOver, I m manually switching logfiles at primary database [alter system switch logfile] they are copied and applied sucessfully at standby database. But the archived files that I have copied with cold backup are not applied yet. Infact they are not retrieved executing the below query.
select name, applied from v$archived_log;
How can I apply those archived logs? [archives that copied with cold backup]
Regards.

Did you have a look at the dataguard docs,
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10700/standby.htm#i72073
Which has this mentioned quite clearly,
>
Oracle Data Guard is available only as a feature of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition. It is not available with Oracle Database Standard Edition.
Note:
It is possible to simulate a standby database environment with databases running Oracle Database Standard Edition. You can do this by manually transferring archived redo log files using an operating system copy utility or using custom scripts that periodically send archived redo log files from one database to the other. The consequence is that this configuration does not provide the ease-of-use, manageability, performance, and disaster-recovery capabilities available with Data Guard>
So if you want to have data guard, use Enterprise Edition.

Dear all,
How to create standby database by using duplicate,is there some doc to read?

Hi;
You can use

Error while creating standby database for ebs prod database

Hi,
We are getting error while trying to create a standby database for EBS database by using RMAN DUPLICATE commands,
Steps followed:
1.) Backup the primary database (Ebs PROD db). This was done on 12-Mar-2012
***RMAN backups are scheduled to run @10:00 pm every night. Flash Recovery Area has been configured and backup is taken at this location
everyday.
2.) Tar the backupset, autobackup, archivelogs etc in FRA .... and copy this to the target server (STANDBY).
*** Copy(oracle rdbms binaries and FRA) completed @12:00AM on 14-Mar-2012
3.) Tried to create standby database by using RMAN duplicate on 14-Mar-2012
RMAN> rman sys/sys@PROD auxiliary /
RMAN> duplicate target database for standby dorecover nofilenamecheck;
After, some time the RMAN DUPLICATE process errors out with,
ORA-19563: header validation failed for file
We are not sure about the cause of this error. While searching in Metalink, we got several notes (ex, 352074.1) but all the causes stated for this error
are not applicable in our case. We double checked our instance to confirm this.
We have also found that in PROD database there are 65 datafiles and after the RMAN DUPLICATE errors out in the targer server (STANDBY) the RMAN managed to restore 51 datafiles before erroring out.
# Please note PROD database was also backed up on 13-Mar-2012. We have a suspicion that backup on 13-Mar may be a possible cause for this error but we are
not sure.
Need suggestions if there can be any other possible causes???
We are in a fix and it would be appreciable if we get some quick suggestions..
Regards,
Rupdipt
Edited by: orarup on Mar 14, 2012 12:29 AM

When opening the file to be placed in a copy or backup set, to be inspected, or used as the target for an incremental restore, its header was not recognized as a valid file header for a file of the indicated type (data file, archived log, or control file) belonging to the current database.
Kindly Ensure that the correct files are being specified for the copy or backup operation.

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 :
STANDBY.__db_cache_size=343932928

Creating Standby Database from ASM Databse none ASM

I have ASM RAC database running on Solaris 10. I want to take a backup with RMAN and move the Backup to none ASM on other Stand alone server. I want to use this none ASM backup database to create Standby Database for Test purpose. Is it doable? If it is doable can you answer following questions?
What command should I use with RMAN to take a full backup and move it to none ASM platform?
Thank you

Well, the answer is most likely yes, but first need to confirm
- Do you want a physical or logical standby?
- Will the standby run on the same platform , i.e. also Solaris 10?
- What version of database ? It is much easier in 11g.

Creating standby database

Hi
I want create standby database in Oracle 10g.
I can create standart database by using database configuration assistant.
How can I create standby database in Oracle 10g?

Hi,
Standby databases, in a nutshell, acts as a failover for our mission critical production databases. When production database crashes, applications can quickly switchover to the stand by databases.
What type of Standy you are willing to go for ??
Physical Standby Database
Standby database is called “physical” if the physical structure of stand by exactly matches with stand by structure. Archived redo log transferred from primary database will be directly applied to the stand by database.
Logical Standby Database
Stand by database is called “logical”, the physical structure of both
databases do not match and from the archived redo log we create SQL statements then these statements will be applied to stand by database.

Can we create standby database on same server as primary database

I have Oracle 10g Rel2, OS Windows server 2003. Can I create standby database on same server on which we have our primary database?

The HOME: The VMWare Server s/w is put into a "VMWare Home" (I use VMWare Workstation, it goes into C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Workstation)
The INSTANCE: WHen I create a VM Image, I specify the name (like a SID), configuration (like PFILE), and location (like ORACLE_BASE/oradata/ ...)
And just like Oracle with which I can have 2 or more instances running on the host (if there is sufficient memory and other resource), I can have 2 or more VM Images running on my host.
And just like Oracle, if I have insufficient resources, things get slow like molasses in the middle of winter.
Hope your desktop has at least 4GB of OS-addressible RAM and at least dual-core CPU. ALternately ... I hope you have lots of coin for the coffee machine.

The Critical Problems for Creating Standby Database

The Critical Problems for Creating Standby Database:(I want to create a physical standby database on the same system of the primary database)
1. Should I copy all the backup datafiles, standby controlfile and password file to a same directory before the first time to mount the standby database?
2. Before mounting the standby database, Should I change the datafile's name to a new one in the standby controlfile? How to change them?
3. When issuing the command to mount the standby database, should I specify the controlfile's name.(using which controlfile to mount)
These problems are not clearly secified in Oracle documentations.

Can you point us to the Windows specific documentation you refer to?
The parameter DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT should take care of the new mapping for your datafiles (and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT for logs), so you should be able to put them where you want and use the parameter to point Oracle to the correct location. You should not need to change the name in the controlfile.
Place your standby controlfiles where you have the control files defined in your parameter file and Oracle should recofgnise that it is a standby db. You should not need to specify which controlfiles to use (if this is even possible), your CONTROL_FILES init parameter points to them.
Not sure about the password file....my instances are on separate boxes and the password file has the same name on both primary and standby.

Add temporary datafiles after creating standby database

I used data guard manager to create standby database and it went fine. Before finish, system pop up a window and says,
"The data guard configuration has been created in a disabled state. It must be enabled using the Enable option in the configuration menu. Pior to ebaling the configuration, please verify the following:
The Primary database contains temporary datafiles. The files will not be duplicated in the new standby database. You must manually recreate the temporary files on the standby node by adding them to their respective tablespaces in the standby database after creation process in complete."
The problem is, in the standby database, how do I add tempfile without open the standby database? the documentation is very unclear...

Thanks for the reply and the useful link. I had followed the instructions when creating the standby database, although under database options there is a difference between the OEM version we are using and the version shown, whereby the 'RMAN backup location' option has been replaced with 'working directory location'.
Just found the following and am guessing this is the issue.
NFS mounts established within a zone are local to that zone. The mounts cannot be accessed from other zones, including the global zone.
I suspect I will need to copy the backup pieces onto the local server in order to create the standby database using OEM. Not something I was expecting to have to do as copying will take a long time due to the size of the backup, but unless anyone else can shed any light on the reason for the initial error
RMAN Backup Location - The specified RMAN backup is invalid. Could not identify controlfile from the backup
then I guess this is the only way forward.

Creating standby database using RMAN

When I'm creating standby database with RMAN command
'duplicate for standby' backups for creating standby database
have to be accessible from host where standby database
is created. I can copy the backups to standby host, or use
NFS to share the disk with backups to standby host.
But when I have backups in ASM diskgroup how can
I achieve it would be accessible from standby host?
Thanks a lot for advice,
M.

OK, thanks,
I will create standby using Grid, but I have the following problem:
database instance is running on the host where I want
to create standby database. The running instance is for
testing purposes and has the same db_name, db_unique_name, db_domain
parameters as in primary database.
I will change db_unique_name to be distinct from primary database one,
should I also change instance SID not to be the same in
testing database and standby on the same host, or when creating standby
database I can specify distinct one for standby database?

Creating standby database using data guard.

Current Env:
Oracle 11.2.0.1
ASM
Size 1.7T and growing.
I'm rebuilding a standby database and need to use rman because of a few factors. In the past, I did a file copy create a standby control file config init.ora and it always worked.
We have a database and had the stanby build; but someone issued a flashback and corrupted the standby database.
Because of the size 1.7T and growing and we are now using ASM.
My research is only showing building standby through rman using dupicate database command.
I would like to copy the cold backup to a external drive and ship it to the standby site where I'll do the restore. This is because of time and bandwith required to rebuild the standby will interfere with operaitions for the period the files are being copied.
So what would be the high level steps.
1) get the cold backup
2) create the standby control file
3) ship the data via corrier
4) restore the database
5) and this is where i'm not sure. recover the standby control file - but during the restore of the database the "normal" control file will open and perhaps do a checkpoint. therefore the standby controlfile will be usless.
6) recover the standby database.
Has anyone accomplished this?
As much specifics will be helpful. This system is operational and needs to be done right the first time.
thanks,

Thank you.
1) I'm going to off load the cold backup to an external drive and have a courier take it to the DR site.
Why, we are replicating the SAN over to the DR site. When SAN replication backs up Oracle becomes non-responsive. Therefore; sending the data over the pipe is not an option for the standby rebuild. Yea' that's the easy way to do it. But this system is operational and critical to operations; so we will not risk saturating the pipe for any period of time. The pipe got saturated one time and it was not pretty.
2) I'm running the test in my lab to make sure I can create the standby database using the cold backup and rman.
3) In the past it was easy; I got a cold backup of the data files using the same ksh scripts that have been working for 20 years. Copy the files over to the standby site, and put it into managed recovery. This technique has been working fine sense Oracle 8i days. ASM through a huge monkey wrench in the ksh script backup and now I'm forced to use rman. Hey, I'm told it's an okay product but when it comes to backups I never get fancy; that just makes things more complicated. Okay I wont complain about asm anymore, i guess there is an advantage in there somewhere.
