Dataguard - Backing up the Standby Server

I'm running a standby and primary 10gr2 database in a dataguard configuration.
Is it possible to backup the standby database and have all the same data and funcationality as the primary?

I am using Symantec Backup Exec 12 with an Oracle Agent to back it up. Would you happen to know if it will interface with the database in the same manner as RMAN?

UCCX 8.0 SNMP notification to report failover from active to the standby server?

Does any know the UCCX 8.0 SNMP notification to report failover from active to the standby server? (The specific notification.)
ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/v2/CISCO-VOICE-APPS-MIB.my
I see this in the MIB.
cvaModuleStart NOTIFICATION-TYPE
OBJECTS   { cvaAlarmSeverity, cvaModuleName }
STATUS    current
DESCRIPTION
        "A cvaModuleStart notification signifies that an
        application module or subsystem has successfully
        started and transitioned into in-service state.
        This notification is working in conjunction with
        the cvaModuleStop notification to notify the start
        and stop status of a particular application module."

Attached are two files:
cad-ecc-viewer.html
This is a template HTML document which dictates how the pop up will look and what data fields are available.
cad-ecc-viewer.vbs
This is the Windows Scripting Host file which you run from a CDA workflow, and you pass it the values of the call data, it then launches an instance of IE and loads the above template.
By default the code is setup to use the following data from the call, but can be modified to work with more, less, or different data:
Customer Name
Customer Status (like Premium, or Platinum)
Customer Number (like an account number)
Customer Phone Number
So when you specify the VBS file to run in CDA you need to pass those variables in that order.
The CDA should expect the VBS file on the root of C:\ by default, and the VBS file expects the HTML Template on the root of C:\ also.
I have only tested this on UCCX 7x and IE 8x. Use the code as a guide to your own solution, that suites your business requirements.
EDIT: I see that this does not work on my Win7/IE9 system, so I will spend some time updating the code for Win7/IE9 and I'll let you know how it goes.

Backing up the Calendar Server

Do I need to use anything except uniarch to backup Calendar Server?
<P>
Because some of the Calendar Server information resides on the
Directory Server, it is important to backup the Directory Server at
the same time that you backup the Calendar Server. More information
about uniarch is available in the documentation.

Current redo at the standby server

Hi,
Oracle 10.2.0/Windows 2003 Server
At my standby system in v$managed_standby view Process MRP0 is showing WAIT_FOR_LOG instead APPLYING_LOG. I have given statement:
Alter database recover managed standby database using current logfile disconnect from session
All the archive logs are being shipped, but I am worried of current redo?
what should I do to solve this problem.
SQL> select process,status,sequence#,block#,blocks from v$managed_standby;
PROCESS STATUS SEQUENCE# BLOCK# BLOCKS
ARCH CLOSING 1917 4097 168
ARCH CONNECTED 0 0 0
MRP0 WAIT_FOR_LOG 1918 0 0
RFS IDLE 0 0 0
thanks

Hi Satyanag,
It isn't necessarily a problem...
The status of waiting is normal if the database has applied the latest log. It just means that it is waiting for the next log.
The only thing you need to watch out for is that the standby hasn't fallen behind for some reason (network outage for example). To check, run the following queries:
On the primary:
set numwidth 15
select     max(sequence#) current_seq
from     v$log
On the standby:
set numwidth 15
select     max(applied_seq#) last_seq
from     v$archive_dest_status
Make sure that the numbers are roughly the same. It's also worth checking the alert log of the standby for errors.
Cheers,
Andy Barry

Which seems the Inventory is completing as expected, but is not being sent on to the Management Point.
When I check the MP_Hinv.log files on the Management Point, I don't see this computer name in there to show that it is processing this computer that has been sent.
I also checked the IIS logs from the MP, and I am getting alot of the following errors:
2014-08-11 23:59:30 10.1.1.122 BITS_POST /CCM_Incoming/{A4F4B1A2-BD24-4919-A761-34CB1C22616D} (bits_error:{7886667F-116E-4573-A267-74AC36B425FB},403,0x80070005) 443 - 10.240.9.105 Microsoft+BITS/7.5 403 0 0 35
The last data that has been successfully inventoried was in 22nd of May. It seems that the intory is being completed by the client, but not being sent back to the Management Point?

Hi,
0x80070005 = Access denied
C:\Windows\System32\CCM\Logs\DataTransferService.log – This is probably where you’re going to find an error. Look for an error containing something like:
CDTSJob::JobError : DTS Job ID= { GUID } . If you receive this error, you can be fairly sure that the transfer failed.
Bitsadmin /list /allusers – Bitsadmin is a useful utility for manipulating and troubleshooting BITS transfers. Open up a command prompt and type
bitsadmin /list /allusers or bitsadmin /list /allusers /verbose > bitslog.txt.

How do you move POP3 email from the iPhone back to the server or computer?

Is there any way to get email that was downloaded to the iPhone using POP3 back on the server or computer? (other than resending all the mail)

You're welcome.
Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is really designed to be accessed with a single email client only.
I access a MobileMe account and a business POP account with the iPhone's mail client. Since an IMAP account is designed to be accessed with more than one email client keeping all server stored mailboxes synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account, accessing an IMAP account with the iPhone's mail client is much more preferable to me. All sent messages are available with each email email client used to access the account. Read a received message with the iPhone's mail client and the message will be marked as read automatically when checking the account with the email client on my computer and vice-versa. I create additional server stored mailboxes to store received and sent messages by category and I can transfer messages from the account's Inbox or Sent mailbox to the designated server stored mailbox with the iPhone's mail client, with all server stored mailboxes kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
If messages were removed from the server with the email client used on your computer to access the account - transferred to a mailbox stored locally on your hard drive, you can transfer the messages back to the designated server stored mailbox.
Need to delete and recreate the account with your iPhone's mail client, or need to restore your iPhone with iTunes, all messages that don't remain on the server will be lost with a POP account including all messages sent with the account from the iPhone - which can be stored locally on the iPhone only unless you always Bcc yourself with every sent message.
Delete and recreate an IMAP account with the iPhone's mail client and all server stored mailboxes and the messages within will be available again automatically.
IMAP account access is the way to go with the iPhone IMO.

Standby Server

Hi All
I have oracle 9i DB.
I want to make a (standby server) in diffrent location, which is a mirror of my current server for the first time,
then I want to send a batch to update it once aday.
in case of any damage of the current server I will connect to the (standby server).
what is the right way to make this plan?
I am thinking of use RMAN , but how ?!?!?!?! (any help doc)
Are there a better way ?
Another Question :
I use the (Archive log) in my DB, for now I am using EXP from my backup,
I don't think that we need Archive log once we use EXP for all data, How to stop working with archive log?
thanx in advance

I don't think that we need Archive log once we use EXP for all dataYeah, go on with NOARGIVELOG mode if and only if you want to loose data. And don't reply you don't want, because the only way to preserve data is to have a backup and archivelog files from backup time to "now". If you're trusting export for your backups I'd advise you to get back to TFM, for your data's sake.
I am thinking of use RMAN , but howIf you want to create a standby database, just look there: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96566/rcmstand.htm#1004466
And use DataGuard for the synch of the databases. Or maybe are you planning to clone the whole server? If so, did you take in account the time take by a restore in case the main server crashes? etc?
DR is not an easy stuff. If you describe what you want to achieve, we will be able to give advice, not if you only ask widely open questions!
Regards,
Yoann.

Will RMAN delete archive log files on a Standby server?

Environment:
Oracle 11.2.0.3 EE on Solaris 10.5
I am currently NOT using an RMAN repository (coming soon).
I have a Primary database sending log files to a Standby.
My Retention Policy is set to 'RECOVERY WINDOW OF 8 DAYS'.
Question: Will RMAN delete the archive log files on the Standby server after they become obsolete based on the Retention Policy or do I need to remove them manually via O/S command?
Does the fact that I'm NOT using an RMAN Repository at the moment make a difference?
Couldn't find the answer in the docs.
Thanks very much!!
-gary

Hello again Gary;
Sorry for the delay.
Why is what you suggested better?
No, its not better, but I prefer to manage the archive. This method works, period.
Does that fact (running a backup every 4 hours) make my archivelog deletion policy irrelevant?
No. The policy is important.
Having the Primary set to :
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBYBut set to "NONE" on the Standby.
Means the worst thing that can happen is RMAN will bark when you try to delete something. ( this is a good thing )
How do I prevent the archive backup process from backing up an archive log file before it gets shipped to the standby?
Should be a non-issue, the archive does not move, the REDO is transported and applied. There's SQL to monitor both ( Transport and Apply )
For Data Guard I would consider getting a copy of
"Oracle Data Guard 11g Handbook" - Larry Carpenter (AKA Dr. Paranoid ) ISBN 978-0-07-162111-2
Best Oracle book I've read in 10 years. Covers a ton of ground clearly.

Archived log to standby server stopped

Hi,
I configured dataguard standby server few weeks ago,
I set log_archive_dest_2='SERVICE=JHRD0107_OFS1 OPTIONAL'
and log_archive_dest_state=ENABLE in primary server,
and very go fine until yesterday, I shutdown my standby server and set the log_archive_dest_state=DEFER,
when I tried to startup again the standby server, and set log_archive_dest_state=ENABLE again,
the archive stop sending the archived log to log_archive_dest_2.
No error was found in alert log of primary and standby server.
It seem that the primary server don't know there is another archive destination..
The database version is 10g 10.2.0.4
Anyone what could be the cause of this?
Thanks

Hi,
I've seen that, if the following message persists for a long time, then it is an ERROR.
FAL[client]: Failed to request gap sequence GAP - thread 1 sequence 17857-17863 DBID 3371425568 branch 681431456 FAL[client]: All defined FAL servers have been attempted.
The possibility is that log shipping of 17857 is stuck. It is not stuck because of any network disconnect, as it is in the case you mentioned. It is probably due to the following.
The parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1 on standby is set as L:\ORACLE\A30\ORAARCH\A30ARCH\ARC and STANDBY_ARCHIVE_DEST is also set to L:\ORACLE\A30\ORAARCH\A30ARCH\ARC. When a GAP is identified, standby database tries to pull the missing files FROM PRIMARY, and the in turn when you enable standby destination on primary (log_archive_dest_state_2 = enabled), it starts shipping logfiles on its OWN.
When such a situation occurs in a system when archived logs are generated at a high rate, it can happen that the file which standby is trying to pull is being pushed/already pushed by primary database. Then a conflict arise, and standby deletes the file and tries to pull it again...this may go on in a loop. (because the locations are SAME).
When i had this issue, I maintained different locations for LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1 and STANDBY_ARCHIVE_DEST on standby database. After this is done, you will find that the logs shipped by primary are written in STANDBY_ARCHIVE_DEST. The file written in this location will be used by the standby database only when you do a managed recovery. If you are doing a manual recovery by issuing the command RECOVER STANDBY DATABASE; then, the stanbdby database will check if the file exists in LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1.
The point is, when there is BIG gap, then you have the option of doing the following procedure.
1. On the primary database keep LOG_ARCHIVE DESTSTATE_2 = enable
2. On the standby ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL.
3. Copy the missing archive logs sequence from the primary to standby's LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1 and perform manual recovery on standby untill the gap is over.
4. issue the command ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT to start managed recovery. ( This will use the files present in STANDBY_ARCHIVE_DEST ).
Hope the above procedure helps.
Note: If the GAP is not that big and you see that last applied log is advancing, then conflict is not there...standby will automatically fill the GAP. But it is advised to maintain different location for the parameters i mentioned.
Regards,
Anish

Server 2012 R2 DHCP Failover - Hot Standby clients not renewing with standby server

In my test network I have a pair of Server 2012 R2 DHCP servers setup for Hot Standby and they will successfully service a client request for a new request.
What I am seeing is that when I test failover the clients will not renew with the Standby server. I have to release first and then renew.
When both DHCP servers are up the state is normal and replication of configuration from the Active to Standby is working. As far as I can tell it is configured correctly.
MaxClientLeadTime is 10 minutes.
StateSwitchInterval is 10 minutes.
AutoStateTransition is set to True.
Adding that manual renews fail with a message stating that it was unable to contact the dhcp server. However if I wait for the lease to expire/auto-renew the dhcp server does indeed change to the standby. Once the primary server comes back up and the state
returns to normal I am able to manually renew.
thanks in advance

Hi,
For test, we let the active DHCP down and the standby DHCP server will take place. But when we renew an IP, client send unicast to the former DHCP
server. That’s why the first request failed.
At 7/8 of the scope lease time, the client moves into a REBINDING state and broadcasts a lease renewal request.
For more information please refer to:

Hope this helps.

Logs are not getting applied in the standby database

Hello,
I have created a physical standby database and in it the logs are not getting applied..

Standby server in oracle9i standard edition under linix

Hi,
I want to know more abt the standby server option on oracle 9i standard edition, whether is it possible or not, if yes give me step by step doc and useful scripts for automating the system.
thanx in advance.

Hi,
look in the "Data Guard Concepts and Administration"-Dokumentation(Help CD). All steps you have todo, are descriped there.

[Disaster recovery] Moving the Essbase server to another physical server

Hi All,
I have 3 Solaris servers part of the EPM 11.1.2.1 environment:
Server1.company.com:
Foundation services, APS, EAS
Server2.company.com:
Essbase Server, Essbase Studio Server.
Installation done on a SAN disk using user ID hypadmin
Server3.company.com:
*Nothing installed here*.
Its the standby server in case Server2 goes down.
Note: I couldn't find any documentation for my below approach... So please understand the risk involved before attempting the same.
Pre-disaster recovery:
I copy the home directory of hypadmin from Server2 to Server3.
During disaster recovery:
I update the Essbase server host name from Server2.company.com to Server3.company.com and similarly update the opmn.xml file.
Finally mount the SAN onto Server2 and start up the services.
Has anyone done the same..? Have you faced any issues? Is there a better way of doing this?
Thanks
Regards,
Kent

Hi,
I believe the usual way of doing this is to have a DR environment, rather than just one server (so for you you would have 2 DR servers). The DR environment has hosts file entries to map Production host names to DR IP addresses.
In DR you are connected to a separate SQL instance and you install and configure the products exactly as you would for Production (exactly the same hostnames).
Then when you are finished you shut down the DR environment and turn on SQL log shipping between the Production and DR databases.
If your Production environment goes down you stop the SQL log shipping, then you can bring up DR and change the DNS names (as required) to give your users access.
For Essbase storage you can either backup Production cubes to DR or mount the Production SAN in DR. The only problem with the latter is that if Production goes down and the SAN is lost you can't bring up DR fully either.
Let me know if you still have questions.
