Dataguard 9iR2 using same SID for primary and physical standby issues

Hello, I have been following the Creating Physical Standby Database document from Oracle setting up a physical clone for a 9iR2 database on Solaris 9 environment between two identical workstations. I want to databases to have the same SID for relatively seemless failover however the redo logs are not pushed to the physical clone. when I switch a logfile on the primary and then query v$archive_dest on dest_id=2 I get a status of ERROR and the ERROR is the ORA-12154 TNS service name error.
Here is a summary of my setup:
Primary - SID = PROD1, located on WS001
Clone - SID = PROD1, located on WS002
SPFILE settings on Primary:
*.db_name='PROD1'
*.dg_broker_start=true
*.fal_client='PROD1_node2'
*.fal_server='PROD1_node1'
*.log_archive_dest_2='service=PROD1_node2 optional lgwr async=20480 noaffirm reopen=15 max_failure=10 delay=30 net_timeout=30'
tnsnames.ora on Primary:
PROD1_node2 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = WS002) (PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PROD1)
listener.ora on secondary:
PROD1_node2 =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = WS002) (PORT = 1521))
SID_LIST_PROD1_node2 =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(ORACLE_HOME = /export/oracle/oracle_9.2/PROD1)
(SID_NAME = PROD1)
Any input would be appreciated. I can provide whatever else you might need. I thought this was the most pertinent to this problem.
Thanks.
Jim

I have been looking at the sqlnet.ora files for the two databases
for WS001:
Names.Default_Domain = WS001.example.com
Names.Directory_Path = (TNSNAMES, ONAMES,HOSTNAME)
for WS002:
Names.Default_Domain = WS002.example.com
Names.Directory_Path = (TNSNAMES, ONAMES,HOSTNAME)
I cannot connect with sqlplus from WS001 to WS002 on the other machine.

Backing up primary and physical standby

We have a DG setup with a single instance primary node and a physical standby db. They both use their own FRA's and their own disks. Nothing is shared. Also the datafiles use OMF on both the db's. My questions are
1. Can i register the primary with the rman catalog and still backup the standby?
2. Should i backup the archive logs on primary? If so what rman settings should i use on both for the archive logs?
3. We wanted to back up both the dbs as it will be faster to restore since we wont have to convert filenames (cause of OMF) when we have to resotore backup taken on primary to standby or vice versa.
Any advise related to this scenario is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi All,
you should have same rman format setting and log_archive_format on primary and standby database >to avoide any confusion at the time of restore. if you have different log_archive_format on standby then >primary, you might have to rename your archivelogs from standby to log_archive_format on primary.It is not required to have same log_archive_format for primary and standby database.
The database can be restored and recovered successfully even if the format is different.

Data guard synchronization after link down b/w primary and physical standby

Hi All,
I have configured data guard on oracle 11gr2 db. Normally switchover between my primary and physical standby happens smoothly and the Apply lag would be zero. Recently We had to test a scenario when the network link between Primary and Physical standby is completely down and Physical standby is isolated completely for more than half an hour.
When we brought up the link every thing worked smoothly but apply lag started increasing from 0 to around 3 hrs. And then it started reducing to 0. Currently Apply lag and transport lag shows 0.
But is this normal behaviour of oracle data guard that when the link between primary and physical standby is completely down, It requires 3-4 hrs for resynchronization ??? Even when during isolation, there were very few transactions happend on primary database ??
Are there any documents available for this scenario??
Thanks

Hi, after the link is up, if there were some transactions and produced archive logs it's normal to take some time for resync. To check if 3-4 hours is normal or not, you can repeat the scenario and this time check
- how many archivelogs does primary produce in this period.
- after the link is up, does archivelog transfer immediately starts from primary to standby? Is primary able to send these archivelogs parallel?
- Is there anything wrong with the apply process?
check primary & standby alert log files, and run this query on standby to check the transport and apply processes:
SELECT PROCESS, STATUS, THREAD#, SEQUENCE#, BLOCK#, BLOCKS FROM V$MANAGED_STANDBY;

You can use the same Apple ID for both phones, you would then be able to use the purchased Apps/Content on both phones without having to pay again.

Time zone difference between primary and physical standby

Dear Team,
We have Primary database server (with EST Time zone) and physical standby (with PST time zone), in case of switch over/fail over to physical standby
what are the major impacts.
Is it mandatory to be in time sync?
Thanks in advance

Systimestamp is the timestamp of the OS of the server and hence the difference and the sysdate value will be from systimestamp and if the applications uses SYSDATE then there can be an issue...

How to use same jsp for edit and add form

Hi,
I would like to use the same .jsp file for edit and add. I just want to change a few controls based on edit/add mode. How do I configure this in the jsp?

In the environment I currently have access to do not have similar setup.
Let say you setup the DFF1 default value to $HEADER.customer_name, the name of the DFF is CUSTOMER_NAME, description can be anything.
In DFF2, default value should be a SQL, where you can reference the DFF1. For example, SELECT DECODE($FLEX.CUSTOMER_NAME, 'ABC', 1, 'DEF', 2, NULL) FROM dual
In this case, you can reference the DFF1.

Using same project for Desktop and Web (?)

Is it possible to manage a same codebase/project for compiling both for AIR and web release (?) Also, on a distant thinking, can ANT able to help on this way?

To elaborate further, in Flash Builder create:
Core Library : Actionscript Library Project - This project contains 90% of your code as CWBenccw mentioned.
AIR Core Library : ActionScript Library Project (Linking AIR libraries) - This project contains AIR-specific implementations of core functionality.
Web App: ActionScript Project (Web) - This project links with Core Library and contains a basic entry point for web (a Main Sprite)
Desktop App: ActionScript Project (Desktop) - This project works like the above, but with a Desktop entry point and Application descriptor, and links with AIR Core Library
Mobile App: ActionScript Mobile Project - Same as above, but for mobile
The way you use your AIR Core Library is to provide overrides for things that are different in AIR. For instance you might want to be able to save files differently, but transparaently to the Core Library. In this case you create an interface for saving in Core Library, e.g.
interface Saver
function save(filename:String, data:String) : void;
You also create an implementation for your non-AIR core:
class FlashSaver implements Saver
function save(filename:String, data:String) : void
     var so : SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("something");
     so.data[filename] = data;
     so.flush();
And then an AIR implementation that might use AIR features like direct File IO.
Your various entry points are responsible for providing the correct implementation of Saver to your Core Libraries via some form of dependency injection.

Primary and Physical Standby databases hanging on sqlplus shell command...

I am primarily a java developer that has had the task of oracle dba thrust upon me due to circumstances that are beyond my control. In the QA lab we have two oracle 10 g release 1 instances running. They set up in a dataguard configuration: one is the primary and the other is in a physical standby.
Last week I noticed that the disk space on the primary database was at 100%. After some investigation I discovered that a good deal of the files taking up space on the box were log files and the best solution that I could think of would be to delete all old archive files. So I deleted the old archive files that were at least two weeks old using RMAN.
During this week the database started to shutdown automatically. The QA associate restarted the database twice using the ‘STARTUP’ command from sqlplus. Additionally, the standby database began to have issues: when login in to sqlplus the application would just hang: no ‘SQL” prompt or anything. Finally today the primary database has also begun to hang in a similar manner.
I have looked at many of the trace files and alert logs but haven’t been able to really discern what the real problem is with the database and the proper rectification for the database. Does anyone have a clue into what is going on? If someone could even point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Guessing that your flash recovery area is full, archiving is stopped so the instance appears to hang.
Do you see messages like so in the alert log:
You have following choices to free up space from flash recovery area:
1. Consider changing RMAN RETENTION POLICY. If you are using Data Guard,
   then consider changing RMAN ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY.
2. Back up files to tertiary device such as tape using RMAN
   BACKUP RECOVERY AREA command.
3. Add disk space and increase db_recovery_file_dest_size parameter to
   reflect the new space.
4. Delete unnecessary files using RMAN DELETE command. If an operating
   system command was used to delete files, then use RMAN CROSSCHECK and
   DELETE EXPIRED commands.

Data Guard Archive Log Latency Between Primary and Physical Standby

How can I get the time it takes (latency) for the primary instance to get an archive log over to the physical standby instance and get it "archived" and "applied". I have been looking at the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view on each side but the COLUMN "COMPLETION_TIME" always shows a date "MM/DD/YY" and no timestamp. I thought the DATE datatype include data and time. Any ideas on how I can get the latency info I'm looking for?
Thanks
Steve

the COLUMN "COMPLETION_TIME" always shows a date "MM/DD/YY"
and no timestamp. Did you try using TO_CHAR ? e.g.
to_char(completion_time,'dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss')

Dbstart/dbstop for Primary or Physical Standby instance

We have established a Physical DataGuard instance on Oracle 9i RAC, RedHat 2.
In our environment we switchover from the Primary to Standby site about every 6 months.
DBSTART is called after a system restart - and its goal is to bring the database up automatically.
DBSTART works ok when the instance is a primary instance, and does not work when the instance is a Standby database.
As supplied by Oracle, DBSTART puts the instance into NOMOUNT status when the instance is a Standby Instance.
I would to put the database into "Managed Recovery Mode" when the instance is a Standby Instance.
I know that I can modify DBSTART to always put the instance into managed recovery - but then I would need to remember to modify DBSTART after a switchover.
Has anyone modified DBSTART so that it detects a "Standby Control File" and issues the appropriate statements?

Hi Richard,
I'd suggest you read the documentation as a starting point, to answer your questions on here would be quite lengthy,
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/toc.htm
In a nutshell you dont need downtime to maintain a standby, you can create them from a hot backup of your primary and get them recovering whilst it is open, in terms of which type of standby to use (physical or logical) that depends on your requirements for the use of the standby ... as I said read the doco (chapter 2 has a section on the benefits of each type).

it ask for the archive log file 35 which is not at the specified place coz no log switch occured after arch log file 34.
how come this?
i have followed complete procedure according to docs....
all 34 arch logs have been applied..
is this happen after creating standby database???
thanks and regards

Vikrant,
If you have applied all the logs
select applied, count(*) from v$archived_log group by applied; -- Please make sure you have all the logs applied successfully
shutdown immediate;
startup force nomount pfile='....' or startup force nomount;
alter database mount standby database;
-- this will activate your standby database and your should be able to open it without any problem; Primary database will be up and running as well.
alter database activate standby database;
alter database set standby database to maximize performance;
alter database open;

ARCHIVELOG deletion on primary and physical standby

Hi,
We have a primary and a physical standby database running Oracle 11.1.0.7.0 software on Red Hat Enterprise Linux x-64 bit OS. I will be using backup software
to only backup the primary database and do not have the backup software for the standby server and database.
We need to backup archived redo log files from primary site and delete the ones which are more than one month old. These archived redo log files will be applied from primary to standby database as and when the log switch occurs.
Can anybody please let me know if the following steps can be used:

Hello;
Welcome to the forums. ( By physical Standby I assume Data Guard )
The short answer is it should work. I noticed this :
/cleanup_rman_arch_drsun.rcv
crosscheck archivelog all;
sql "alter system switch logfile";
delete noprompt expired archivelog all;
change archivelog until time 'SYSDATE-1' delete;I see no reason for the "alter system switch logfile". In fact you can do something very simple on the Standby :
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / catalog <user>/<password>@<catalog> << EOF
delete noprompt ARCHIVELOG UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE-1';
exit
EOFThis assumes you have doing a backup with RMAN on the Primary ( tested on 11.2.0.2 ) and have this set on the Primary :
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETEION POLICY TO APPLIED ON ALL STANDBY;
If you are deleting Archive without using RMAN first then yes something like this ( But I would try to use RMAN and not delete using another method )
echo `date`
echo "Runnung RMAN archive crosscheck"
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman <<EOF
connect target /
crosscheck archivelog all;
delete noprompt expired archivelog all;
exit
EOF
echo `date`

ASM on primary and physical standby on normal filesystem

Hi
I have seen he white paper by oracle on migrating a database to ASM with minimal downtime using ASM for a physical standby my requirement is reverse.
I need to have a ASM for a primary database but no ASM for standby database.
How do we set the parameter db_file_name_convert
regards
Hrishy

db_file_name_convert covers the folder path for the files. I don't think, there will be issue.
If we use rman, it will use the folder path per db_file_name_convert and retain the old file names. OMF naming will apply for the new files.

Use Same URL for Internal and External Access for CRM 2015 IFD

I have setup a CRM2015 server for IFD access.
ADFS and CRM are on separate servers.
CRM server all roles
ADFS 2.0 server.
Using the internal URL I am able to access CRM without entering my details (as expected)
Using the external URL I am authenticated by ADFS as expected and can sign in.
We have an internal domain domain.local
We have an external domain domain.com (the certificate is for *.domain.com)
We have a DNS zone created internally for domain.com.
CRM URLs
internal : internalcrm.domain.com
External : externalcrm.domain.com
I would like all users to use the same link regardless of them being internal or external, but I would like so that any user who is on the domain is automatically logged in without entering their username and
password. What is the best way to do this?
I have tried creating a cname record on the internal domain.com zone pointing externalcrm.domain.com to internalcrm.domain.com but that didn't work, I still get the ADFS sign in page.
Thanks

So fair warning, what you're asking for isn't really a supported deployment method of CRM.
That said, you should be able to do some DNS trickery internal to your network that points your "crm.domain.com" to "crm.domain.local" and then hopefully CRM will treat the connection as if it came from an internal network.
Otherwise, you're likely going to have to accept that everyone gets the ADFS login page internal and external to your network.
