Dataguard broker setup - Licensing terms

Hi,
This is a simple question. I have searched Oracle documentation fairly elaborately, but could not find an answer.
The question is: Can I co-host Dataguard Broker configuration with RMAN Catalog+EMGC ?
We already have one host (Running EE) catering to RMAN Catalog and EMGC repository (On a single server). Since we have a requirement of configuring dataguard broker, the thought was to co-host this on the same server.
Is there a licensing consideration to this? Can someone refer some relevant documentation please? Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

Standby is an copy of the primary database is maintained on a separate server at all times. the standby database is activated to act as the new primary database.
"In this environment, both the primary and the standby databases must be fully licensed."
Oracle standby servers need to be fully licensed if they are “hot standby” servers that can be used for production SQL queries. Some sources say that cold standby servers used less than 10 days per year do not need to be licensed, but you should verify this with your Oracle representative or the Oracle Store. In sum, current 2006 Oracle Data Guard licensing policies suggest that if Data Guard is installed for "standby" purposes, it requires full licensing.
Check this discussion, it may help you.

"Windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms" Windows 8.1 Installation Error - Parallels

I'm trying to install Windows 8.1 via Parallels on my Macbook Pro.
I create a new VM and use the .ISO file and get the error: "Windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms. Make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation."
I found this question was answered here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/b1021d66-9774-4b5b-b50b-ad860c5ecc89/windows-8-enterprise-rtm-installation-error?forum=w8itproinstall
However, following the steps of the solution did not work for me. I created a blank VM and chose Windows 8.1. After this, it asks me to insert the installation disc. I cannot figure out how to use the .ISO as the source at this point. I tried copying and
pasting the path to the file and dragging the file to the VM, but no luck.
If there is a way I can install this without this error message or by somehow getting the path to the .ISO that'd be perfect.

Hi,
According to your description, I would like to confirm if you have unchecked the Express installation box.
Be sure to uncheck 'Express Installation' when installing, otherwise Windows setup will fail with an error "cannot find license terms" and get stuck in a reboot cycle.
I suggest you refer to the following link to use Parallels Desktop to install Windows 8.1.

Dataguard broker

Hi ,
I have confusion about standby database in oracle 10g ,bcoz dataguard and physical standby database is same or not ?
if same what is Dataguard Broker in standby?
what is the difference between enable dg_broker_start = true and false / also what is the nature of job?
Regards,
S.Mugunthan

I have confusion about standby database in oracle 10g ,bcoz dataguard and physical standby database is same or not ?Data Guard is again priced product & Standby Database is a standard feature. You only may need another database license for the instance.
But you have to do all your own scripting to move archived redo logs to the standby to be applied, including any error checking.
Dataguard is the process to mirroring your Production/primary database. Dataguard manage your database primary and your database standby.
Even you can perform Switchovers & also failovers.
With Data Guard Oracle provides all that as part of the package, plus some management tools. The core still remains a Standby Database, either physical or logical.
if same what is Dataguard Broker in standby? You can say Datagaurd broker instead of standby broker, Broker will be enabled when it is configured in both primary & also standby database.
is again a utility where you can manage all Monitoring, Drilling (switching/faliver) via DGMGRL
In detail for this utility please do refer http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28295/concepts.htm
what is the difference between enable dg_broker_start = true and false / also what is the nature of job?DG_BROKER_START enables Oracle to determine whether or not the Data Guard broker (DMON) process should be started. DMON is a non-fatal Oracle background process and exists as long as the instance exists, whenever this parameter is set to true.
In detail refer http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/initparams060.htm

Creaton of Standby database and dataguard broker

Hi Experts,
I am using Linux with Oracle version 11gR2. We have planned to create a physical standby database and also configure dataguard broker for the standby database.
Also, I've read the documents that active dataguard is a feature on 11g. Is it not possible on 10g ?
Can someone please provide me the steps to create the standby database and configure the dataguard broker.

Hello;
A simple Data Broker setup would be :
On both Primary and Standby sites, change the initialization parameter in the spfile to enable the Data guard broker.
SQL> Alter system set dg_broker_start=True scope=both;
On the PRIMARY site, open the ‘cmd’ and start Command Line Interface (CLI) of the Dataguard Broker (DGMGRL).
/home/oracle:PRIMARY >dgmgrl
DGMGRL for Linux: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
DGMGRL> connect sys/password@PRIMARY
Create broker configuration.
DGMGRL> create configuration ‘broker1’ as
primary database is 'PRIMARY'
connect identifier is primary;Configuration "?broker1?" created with primary database "PRIMARY"
DGMGRL>
(‘primary’ in Connect identifier is the service name through which the broker is connected to the PRIMARY database)
Add Standby Database to the above configuration.
DGMGRL> add database 'standby' as
connect identifier is 'STANDBY'
maintained as physical;
Database "standby" added
(‘to_standby’ in Connect identifier is the service name through which the broker is connected to the STANDBY database)
Now the configuration has been set up but it is still disabled. You can view the configuration by executing:
DGMGRL> show configuration
The next step is to ENABLE the configuration ‘broker1’.
DGMGRL> enable configuration;
Enabled.
Again view the configuration.
DGMGRL> show configuration
Configuration - ?broker1?
Protection Mode: MaxPerformance
Databases:
PRIMARY - Primary database
standby - Physical standby database
Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED
Configuration Status:
SUCCESSIn my humble opinion its a good idea to setup Data Guard without Broker and get the "feel" of it first.
Remember, once you setup Broker, you cannot use SQL to change your Data Guard setup.

Dataguard broker Warning: ORA-16610

Hi
Oracle 10g.
I just configured dataguard broker and followed all the steps in:
http://apunhiran.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-to-configure-data-guard-broker.html
However, I am constantly getting ORA-16610.
any idea, how to resolve this ?
DGMGRL> SHOW CONFIGURATION

I have my setup notes I can post if you want. I had it working and I like its speed, but I found it to be a pain and went back to SQL for all my commands.
My offer to post my broker setup notes stands

Later
John;
I checked my setup note and here's what i have on your current error :
ORA-16607 on SHOW CONFIGURATION
Problem: After creating your configuration and adding the standby database, you issued a SHOW CONFIGURATION as suggested. Instead of the expected SUCCESS, the report ends up with
Warning: ORA-16607: one or more databases have failed
. Checking with oerr ora 16607 was not very helpful (see above), and you neither can find anything in your alert.log nor any trace files.
Cause: Probably at least one of your databases is not using an SPFILE.
Solution: Check whether your databases have an SPFILE associated. It is usually located in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/spfile$ORACLE_SID.ora. If it does not exist, create it: Login to your database as SYSDBA, and issue the command CREATE SPFILE FROM PFILE;. Even if it exists, to make the database using it you need to restart the instance - it must be used already at startup.Edited by: mseberg on Aug 11, 2011 8:12 PM

SQL Developer Data Modeler 2.0.0 - Licensing Terms?

Hi Sue & Co.
I just downloaded SQL Developer Data Modeler 2.0.0. Very cool.
Any news regarding the Licensing terms?
Cheers,

Hi Patrick,
All licensing questions and details can be accessed through the [Oracle Electronic Delivery|http://edelivery.oracle.com/] site. You'd be looking for the "Oracle Database Tools Media Pack for Microsoft Windows (32-bit)". The price list is available on the Oracle [Price Lists | http://www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing/pricelists.html] site (see Technology).
The product will be available on the Oracle Store later in July.

Why do I have to activate CC every few weeks and repeatedly have to accept the license terms?

It seems like I have to accept the license terms about once per week for CC applications and every few weeks I'm asked to activate the software yet again. I suspect that this is not normal.
This is a Windows 8.1, 64-bit system.

If the DG Broker is not enabled then the switch over doesnot occures.You have to perform switchover manually.
One more question.
IS the DR and DG are same.
I head that in DR recovery of archive logs doesnot occures automatically .We need to manually push .IS it true?If it is ENTERPRISE Edition, then no need to copy archives manually, If you configured properly everything is automated.
DR - disaster recovery, How can you plan to recover from lost of database and what are the methods.
DG - Dataguard (method)

Please clarify license terms for the PDF test suites

The Adobe Acrobat Engineering team site (http://acroeng.adobe.com/wp/) is a great resource, containing all sorts of test files that are very helpful when developing PDF tools. Unfortunately, that site does not make the license terms of the test suites clear. Would it be possible to clarify the terms underwhich those files have been made available, so that it is clear whether we can re-use them for testing purposes? (e.g. CC-BY or whatever).

We don't have a product - I am one staff member from a number of international 'memory institutions' (national libraries, archives, etc.) that all work together to understand and document digital formats for long-term preservation purposes. As we pool knowledge across organizations, limiting documents to 'internal use' is problematic.
Of course, we can share metadata about your documents, and refer to them by URL, but that gets tricky when we want to talk about details. Can we blog about a specific fragment of one of those documents? Can we include a screen shot? Where is the line? Simple licensing helps make this clear.
Also, frankly, we are playing a very long game and have to plan for the possibility that that website, and even Adobe itself, might not exist one day. This means we are not keen to become dependent upon test suites that cannot be kept safe by being cloned across our organizations.
EDIT: Hm, sorry if that came across as ungrateful. Thanks for offering to provide more examples, and of course, it's great to have these documents available (internal use is better than no use!). I just wanted to make it clear there are other use cases that these conditions can't cover.

Database upgrade in Dataguard Broker Environment

Hi All,
OS: Wndows 32 bit
DB: 11.2.0.1
We have an upgrade activity due, in this, we have a windows Primary Database and it has 2 Physical Standby databases. There is no concept of Near DR and Far DR. Both the databases are getting sync'd directly from the Primary database.We are also using Dataguard Broker. Following is the skeletol POA for the same:
1. Install an out of place DATABASE Software (11.2.0.3 ) on both the Standby databases and also the Primary database.
2.Disable the configuration of the database broker on all the 3 servers
3.Copy the files init/spfile, tnsnames.ora, listener.ora, sqlnet.ora and the password file from the old oracle home to the new oracle home location on all the 3 servers.
4.Take a clean shutdown of the Standby databases only and then stop the services and delete the services as well.
5.Get into the new oracle home and create the oracle services for both the standby databases
6.Once, the services are created, mount both the standby databases and enable their recovery.
7. Now, we will connect to the Priamry database server and start the upgrade here. I will be using the manuall method of upgrade for the database here which all includes all the pre and post tasks.
8. Once the upgrade is done succesfully on the primary databases, the changes will be automatically replicated on its 2 Standby databases as well.
9. Post this, we will enable the broker configuration and check for the syncronziation by doing some switch's.
10. Lastly we will remove the old oracle home's.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
SPhinx

After the upgrade the home directory will change and all I need to do is change the home directory path in the extract/replicate prm file correct ?
this what I will do :
1. stop GG services on both source and target
2. upgrade the db.
3. change the path of the db in the prm files as required.
4. start the extract and replicate process on source and target respectively.

DataGuard Broker in 11gR2 - StaticConnectIdentifier

Ok, I have read that in 11gR2 you no longer have the requirement of putting in a static entry in your listener.ora file with <SID>_DGMGRL if you use the Dataguard Broker parameter: StaticConnectIdentifier. I have used this new parameter and it was set up automatically to be:
StaticConnectIdentifier = '(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=DB1)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=prod_sb_DGMGRL)(INSTANCE_NAME=prod_sb)(SERVER=DEDICATED)))'
My question is that there is no entry anywhere that specifies the SERVICE_NAME as prod_sb_DGMGRL. Will my switchover work without that SERVICE_NAME being defined no where? Am I missing a step? Thanks folks.

Hello;
I'm thinking the switchover will fail with an ORA-12514. Without the listener.ora entry DGMGRL will not be able to connect to the databases after they have been stopped.
So you still need the _DGMGRL or at least a static entry in the listener.ora. In any event the static entry will not cause an issue.
*Switchover Failed With ORA-12521 using Dataguard Broker [ID 1380949.1]*
For additional information see - 8.3.40 StaticConnectIdentifier in "Data Guard Broker 11g Release 2 (11.2) E17023-04"
"A connect identifier that refers to a service that is statically registered"
