Gap resolution is not always happening with real time apply

Hi
I noticed a strange behavior in one of my 10.2.0.4 dataguards , and I am wondering if anyone else has encountered it :
When there is an archive gap that need to be resolved , the gap is NOT always being identified and acted upon , when the recovery is started as such :
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE USING CURRENT LOGFILE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION.
its just sitting there doing nothing, and nothing is written to the alert log regarding the gap and nothing is being transferred from the primary as needed.
However, if I restart the apply , omitting the 'USING CURRENT LOGFILE' clause , the gap is identified and acted upon, as such :
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION.
At first I thought its merely due to me stopping and starting the apply process ( nothing like a "reboot" , right ? ) , but that is not the case.
if I restart , but still use the USING CURRENT LOGFILE clause , the gap is still not being identified .
Anyone had this issue ? any theories as to why that happens ?

RMAN in active data guard with real time apply ON without a catalog DB

I would like to know whether I can take RMAN backups (both level 0 & incremental) in active data guard with real time apply ON without a catalog database. version is 11.2.0.3.2. Will it make difference in the control file of standby syncing with primary? Can I use these backups on primary to restore and recover the database(including control file backup)?

Thank you very much msberg. Could you please answer the below queries as well?
Should I cancel Real Time Apply before starting RMAN?
Will it make difference in the control file of standby syncing with primary? Is it possible to use these backups on primary to restore and recover the database(including control file backup)? If possible, how will I do that?

Starting a Physical Standby DB which is configured with real-time apply

Hi,
I wanted to get clarification on the correct procedure for starting and stopping a physical standby database. The Dataguard documentation states the following:
1. Start and mount the database:
SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;
2. Start log apply services:
To start Redo Apply, issue the following statement:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE
2> DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
To start real-time apply, issue the following statement:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE
2> USING CURRENT LOGFILE;
My configuration is using real-time apply based on the information provided by the RECOVERY_MODE column of the V$ARCHIVED_DEST_STATUS view. Should I execute both ALTER statements or just the second one. If only the second one, how will the database re-synchronize, especially after a long down time. Also, must I do anything on the primary database prior to starting up the physical standby?
I'm using Oracle 10g SP1 on a linux server.

No. But you can recover until the last arch file generated on the primary, then you cancel the recovery and then use query#2 to start applying real-time. Refer to Note:343424.1 on Metalink.

Real - Time Apply some times uses Archived log file

Hi All,
I have a doubt on real time apply in Oracle 10g 10.2.0.4 version where arch process has been configured on primary database and standby has been configured for maximum performance mode with real time apply.
But in standby alert log file i use to find below message rarely
Media Recovery Log /oraclearch/oraarch/ctdr/5548.dbf
Media Recovery Log /oraclearch/oraarch/ctdr/5549.dbfSo my doubt is why archived files are applied as standby has been configured for real time apply where it should apply only from standby online redo log files.
Also i dont find any information on standby database in the view v$standby_log that these standby online log files have been archived in archived column, so how to find how much of data has been written by rfs process on SRL's...
-Yasser

hi,
As the remote file server (RFS) process writes the redo data to standby redo log files on the standby database, log apply services can recover redo from standby redo log files as they are being filled.
please check http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/log_apply.htm

Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my AOL messages sometimes, but not always open with a blank page. If I open AOL in Firefox, the messages open fine. This does not happen with any messages by any means, and it is not any type of certain message

Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my AOL messages sometimes, but not always open with a blank page. If I open AOL in Firefox, the messages open fine. This does not happen with any messages by any means, and it is not any type of certain message. In fact, in the same screen I can often open an email from the same sender with email intact. This is weird. Sometimes I close the page and open a new page. Sometimes that works and sometimes it does not. It is a very annoying thing.

Hi,
When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

RAC with real time knowledge

Hi, I'm interested in learning RAC and dataguard with real time knowledge......... please help me finding some training institution or peoples with real time knowledge
Thanks

The term "+real-time+" has a very specific meaning in Information Technology. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_computing for the basic details.
Oracle RAC is not a real-time database.. and nor does the "real-time knowledge" make much sense IMO...
Always difficult to get to grips with the nuances of the English language where it is your 2nd or even 3rd language. But it is important that we speak the same language and understand the same terms and concepts, in Information Technology.

ORACLE 11G "real time apply" not work?????

we have a database original on ORACLE 10.2.0.4 and we upgrade it to 11.1.0.7.
after that we create standby database and tried to use "real time apply" feature.
Primary database can transfer log files to standby database and standby database also can apply logs. The problem is it can NOT work on "real time apply".
Ant ideal what wrong?

log_archive_dest_state_1 = enable

There are a couple of things to look at.
1. Real time apply requires standby redo logs on the standby database. On the standby database run this query:
SELECT * FROM v$logfile where type = 'STANDBY';
if you get 0 rows back you'll need to create standby logfiles
The general guideline is to size them exactly like your redo logs but add one additional standby log to ensure it doesn't cause a bottleneck.
2. Get the size of your logfiles:
SELECT GROUP#, BYTES FROM V$LOG;
3. For example if you have 3 redo logs that are 50 MB in size, create 4 standby redo logs 50 MB each and don't multiplex them.
ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE ('/Archive/DBSBY/onlinelog/slog1.rdo') SIZE 50M;
ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE ('/Archive/DBSBY/onlinelog/slog2.rdo') SIZE 50M;
ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE ('/Archive/DBSBY/onlinelog/slog3.rdo') SIZE 50M;
ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE ('/Archive/DBSBY/onlinelog/slog4.rdo') SIZE 50M;
4. Cancel recovery on standby
recover managed standby database cancel;
5. Restart recovery using real time apply
recover managed standby database using current logfile disconnect;
6. To validate that real time is working you can check a few places.
-It will say in the database alert log on standby that it's using real time apply
OR
-Check primary
SELECT status, recovery_mode FROM v$archive_dest_status where dest_name = 'LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2';
If the recovery_mode is "MANAGED REAL TIME APPLY" then real time apply is working, if it's anything else then we'll need to check more things.
NOTE that if you are going to allow your current primary to switch roles and become a standby then you'll want to create standby redo logs on primary as well
Sometimes recovery gets "stuck" and simply resetting the destination parameters can resolve it:
alter system set log_archive_dest_2='service=DBSBY valid_for=(online_logfiles,primary_role) db_unique_name=DBSBY LGWR ASYNC=20480 OPTIONAL REOPEN=15 NET_TIMEOUT=30';
There are some other things we can check next but let's start with the easiest fixes first.

B2MML with real time data

Hi All
I want some B2mml files with real time data.
So exact( maintenance infromation and Production) B2MML that is coming from MIS.
So if anyone have some information regarding this please tell me.
Thanks in Advance
Ramshanker

Hi, Ramshanker.
In the cases where the plant system is directly delivering B2MML documents (such as with certain products from Wonderware, Siemens, and some others), using the data in xMII is quite straightforward.
1) If the B2MML message is not "standard" B2MML (be aware that very few plant vendors use the baseline standard - most have a number of specific extensions), you can add the vendors' schemas or B2MML example documents to xMII by adding them to a ReferenceDocument folder on the server.
2) In xMII BLS, create a transaction (let's assume you called it B2MMLHandler) with one input parameter, of type "XML" (let's assume you called it "B2MMLDocument"). Add a "ReferenceSchema" or "ReferenceDocument" action, and configure it to load the vendor's B2MML format. Use the "assign reference document" menu option to assign this format to the transaction input.
3) You can now use the B2MML document to perform analytics or to map from the B2MML document into any RFC or BAPI calls or ESA service calls from within BLS.
4) The plant system system should "post" the XML data to an xMII transaction using the "Runner" URL as in:
http://<yourserver>/Lighthammer/Runner?Transaction=B2MMLHandler&InputParameter=B2MMLDocument
Of course, if the MES system isn't capable of posting the documents and they are available on the file system, you can use the xMII file actions (or remote file access via FTP) to access and load the B2MML documents, perhaps at a scheduled interval.
Hope this helps get you started in the right direction.
Best regards,
Rick Bullotta

NI USB CAN 8473 with real time engine

i am using NI USB CAN 8473, its driver version 2.5.2 and labview 8.2. I havle all these installed in one laptop and i am able to send and receive can messages. Now i built the .exe of the same vi and trying to run it another laptop which doesn't have Labview installed in it. But i have installed run time for 8.2 and same NI-USB-CAN driver 2.5.2
But still it is not working in the second laptop. Can any one support me for the same...
Regards
Mahesh

Hi Manhesh,
I think you meant to say, "Does the USB CAN 8473 work with the LabVIEW Run Time Engine?" LabVIEW Real-Time Module and Engine are not the same thing as the LabVIEW Run-Time. (Just a side note that the USB CAN devices do NOT work on LabVIEW Real-Time OSes).
Can you tell us a little more on how it is not working? Is the executable loading, but you don't see CAN traffic? Is this your LabVIEW VI that you builting into an EXE, or an example? Does an example CAN program from the example finder built into an EXE work OK? Do other LabVIEW built EXE work OK? Does your USB CAN device show in MAX?

[Solved] QJackCtl won't start in with real time.

Hey all,
I'm having a problem with QJackCtl, I got my version from Extra. The problem is that for some reason Jack won't start in real time mode using QJackCtl. Real Time is checked and marked under the set-up tab, but that little piece of info doesn't seem to make it to jackd. If I start Jack through CLI it works with real time, but not from the GUI.
I figured this out by starting JACK from the command line and then starting QJack. When I would do that it would be running in real time just without the rest of my settings (buffer,periods,sampling rate, etc). So in my head there's an issue with QJackCtl. I've tried to find a solution, but I can't seem to find one. This isn't the first time I've set JACK up on a system, but this is the first time I've had this problem.
The rest of the system is set up and ready to go. Rt Kernel, limits.conf and all other tuning is done.
Is there something I missed when setting this piece of software up? Any ideas?
Solved Edit:
Okay, so right after I posted this I got a crazy idea. When you enter setup in qjackctl on the first page there's a box for server path. The path defaults to "jackd". On that line I added "--realtime", so it looked like a basic CLI start-up of JACK and now it works!
So, if anyone else has this problem go to the Setup tab, in the setup window on the line that says Server Path it should look like this:
jackd --realtime
It worked for me and I hope it helps somebody else out.

Which volume? Assuming you're on the most common usecase (single hw audio device) then whatever command line you use (amixer for example) it'll work fine, it'll control the volume of the device rather than the pulseaudio plugin (so other playing apps get affected as well, which is probably what you want). The 'global' volume so to speak.
For multiple hw audio devices it gets tricky though.

Real-time apply in Maximum Performance Mode Not Working

We have configured physical standby database in maximum performance mode. It's working perfectly fine. Archive logs are being applied to the physical standby.
We can open the DB in read-only mode, but real-time apply is not working. Physical standby database is lagging behind the primary db by an archive log. As soon as primary database generates an archive log, it's transported over to the standby and applied immediately by the media recovery process. But real-time redo is not working. Standby redo logs have been configured.
On Physcial Standby:
SQL> alter database recover managed standby database using current logfile disconnect ;
Database Altered.

Hi,
In your case you are using ARC process for redo transfer as you have not specified any process in log_archive_dest_2 and default is arch.
I will suggest you to use LGWR to transfer the redo to standby and also check the size of standby redo logs on standby is same to the size of online redo logs on primary

Existing Apple ID is not longer working with Face Time and Message on the iPhone after iOS 6

After the IOS 6 update on my iPhone the Apple ID is not longer working with Face Time and Message. Each time I try to log in I receive the message that the password or the user is not right. But they are, because on all other devices and all other parts of the iPhone (iCloud, AppStore, iTunes) they are working. Other Apple IDs are working fine.
What's wrong? Any idea?
Thanks

Blue
It sounds like you restored from an old back-up. Did you back-up just before your software update? It will use your last one and if your last back-up was a ywear old then it will use that one.
In general, if you are getting these messages on your iPhones select logout (when you get that Apple Id request) and then log back in with your newer ID.
Sorry for your losses.
Cheers
