Generate log sequence 1 at standby database everyday

Hi All,
We have standby dataguard set up namely CRMSTDY of 3 node RAC clusterware. It has been observed that log sequence number 1 is generated since last 4 days on standby database. There is nothing more information in alert_standby.log file and the same file is visible when we checked with ASMCMD utility. Below mentioned details:

  • Apply missing log on physical standby database

    How to apply the missing log on physical standby database?
    I already registered the missing log and started the recovery process.
    Still...having log on standby that has status ..not applied.
    SQL> SELECT SEQUENCE#,APPLIED FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG ORDER BY SEQUENCE#;

    Thanks

    Not much experience doing this, but according to the 9i doc (http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96653/log_apply.htm#1017352), all you need is properly-configured FAL_CLIENT and FAL_SERVER initialization parameters, and things should take care of themselves automatically. Let us know if that doesn't work for you, we might be able to think of something else.

  • Archived log missed in standby database

    Hi,
    OS; Windows 2003 server
    Oracle: 10.2.0.4
    Data Guard: Max Performance
    Dataguard missed some of the archivelog files and but latest log files are applying. standby database is not in sync with primary.
    SELECT LOCAL.THREAD#, LOCAL.SEQUENCE# FROM (SELECT THREAD#, SEQUENCE# FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG WHERE DEST_ID=1) LOCAL WHERE LOCAL.SEQUENCE# NOT IN (SELECT SEQUENCE# FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG WHERE DEST_ID=2 AND THREAD# = LOCAL.THREAD#);
    I queried above command and I found some files are missed in standby.
    select status, type, database_mode, recovery_mode,protection_mode, srl, synchronization_status,synchronized from V$ARCHIVE_DEST_STATUS where dest_id=2;
    STATUS TYPE DATABASE_MODE RECOVERY_MODE PROTECTION_MODE SRL SYNCHRONIZATION_STATUS SYN

    Anyone can tell me how to apply those missed archive log files.

    1) Stop managed recovery on the standby.
    ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;2) Resolve the archive log gap - if you have configured FAL_SERVER and FAL_CLIENT Oracle should do this when you follow step 3 below, as you've manually copied the missed logs you should be OK
    3) restart managed recovery using the command shown above.
    You can monitor archive log catchup using the alert.log or your original query.

  • Check actual apply log time on standby database after synchronization

    Hi All,
    I want to check the date and time stamp of applied archived logs on stanby database. How should I check that??
    My dataguard link was broken for sometime and meanwhile lot of transactions happened on primary database. Now When the link came up the synchronisation happened within few hours and ultimatly transport and appliy lag became 0. But now I want to check actual time taken for tranporting the logs and applying them on standby database. Is there any way I could do that easily..
    Thanks

    This script written by Yousef Rifai I found here http://www.dba-village.com/village/dvp_forum.OpenThread?ThreadIdA=34772&DestinationA=RSS might be just what you need (run on standby database):
    set ver off
    alter session set nls_date_format='dd-mon-yy hh24:mi:ss'
    select app_thread, seq_app, tm_applied,
    nvl(seq_rcvd,seq_app) seq_rcvd, nvl(tm_rcvd,tm_applied) tm_rcvd
    from
    (select sequence# seq_app, FIRST_TIME tm_applied, thread# app_thread
    from v$archived_log where applied = 'YES'
    and (first_time, thread#) in (
    select max(FIRST_TIME ), thread#
    from v$archived_log where applied = 'YES'
    group by thread# )
    (select sequence# seq_rcvd, FIRST_TIME tm_rcvd, thread# rcvd_thread
    from v$archived_log where applied = 'NO'
    and (first_time, thread#) in (
    select max(FIRST_TIME ), thread#
    from v$archived_log where applied = 'NO'
    group by thread# )
    where rcvd_thread(+)= app_thread

  • BRARCHIVE backup for high volume offline redo log files on Standby Database

    Hi All,
    We are through with all of Standby database activity, also started applying the offline redo log files on the Standby site.
    The throughput is not utilizing the actual available bandwith.
    So we are not able to copy the offline redo files on time, as the offline redo files are piling up on the Production side.
    My query is how we can parallely copy the offline redo log files on the DR site (ie. 4-5 redo files at a time).
    Kindly guide for the same.
    Regards,
    Shaibaz

    hi,
    I have one doubt.
    On other server (r3qas) the Umask settings are as followed
    User     UMASK value
    <sid>adm          077              
    ora<SID>           077
    root                   077
    Running SAP System :   SAP R3 4.6C
    Running DBMS          :  Oracle 9.0
    Operating System      :- HP_UX
    On this system The new offline redo log files are created with 600 permissions. There is not a problem here, while taking the backup. I checked last "r3qas-archive" backups. There, i have not found any single error related to permissions, or any others (something like, Cannot open /oracle/RQ1/../.........dbf).
    If everything is working fine, with this umask setting on this server, then, what's going wrong with the BW Quality server, which have the same umask settings (also others) for all the concerned users, as mentioned above.

    When you increase size of online redo log files in primary, You should increase in standby also..
    Standby redo log file size should be equal or higher than primary. You no need to switch log files on Standby.
    You will have only standby redo log files in standby not ORL(online redo log files)
    You can use this below script to add standby redo log files.

  • Dropping log file in standby database

    Please,
    I need a help for the following issue:
    I'm making a technical documentation on various event that occur on dataguard configuraation, right now I drop a redo log group file on primary database, and when I try to drop the equivalent log group file on standby database I got the following error:
    SQL> alter database drop logfile group 3;
    alter database drop logfile group 3
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-01156: recovery in progress may need access to files
    this is the current state of the redolog file on standby database.
    SQL> select group#,members,status from v$log;
    GROUP# MEMBERS STATUS
    1 3 CLEARING_CURRENT
    3 3 CLEARING
    2 3 CLEARING
    Eventhough I do the following command on standby I also get an error.
    SQL> ALTER DATABASE CLEAR LOGFILE GROUP 3;
    ALTER DATABASE CLEAR LOGFILE GROUP 3
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-01156: recovery in progress may need access to files
    Can someone tell me how to drop on dataguard configuration the redolog file on primary database and their corresponding on standby database
    I'm working on 10 release 2, on Windows
    Thanks you

    Oracle Dataguard Concept and administration release 2,ref b14239: is my source but it doesn't work when trying to drop stanby group or logile member.
    For example, if the primary database has 10 online redo log files and the standby
    database has 2, and then you switch over to the standby database so that it functions
    as the new primary database, the new primary database is forced to archive more
    frequently than the original primary database.
    Consequently, when you add or drop an online redo log file at the primary site, it is
    important that you synchronize the changes in the standby database by following
    these steps:
    1. If Redo Apply is running, you must cancel Redo Apply before you can change the
    log files.
    2. If the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter is set to AUTO,
    change the value to MANUAL.
    3. Add or drop an online redo log file:
    ■ To add an online redo log file, use a SQL statement such as this:
    SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/prmy3.log'
    SIZE 100M;
    ■ To drop an online redo log file, use a SQL statement such as this:
    SQL> ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/prmy3.log';
    4. Repeat the statement you used in Step 3 on each standby database.
    5. Restore the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter and the Redo Apply options to their original states.
    Thank

  • How to delete archive logs on the standby database....in 9i

    Hello,
    We are planning to setup a data guard (Maximum performance configuration ) between two Oracle 9i databases on two different servers.
    The archive logs on the primary servers are deleted via a RMAN job bases on a policy , just wondering how I should delete the archive logs that are shipped to the standby.
    Is putting a cron job on the standby to delete archive logs that are say 2 days old the proper approach or is there a built in data guard option that would some how allow archive logs that are no longer needed or are two days old deleted automatically.
    thanks,
    C.

Check this note.
    *Configure RMAN to purge archivelogs after applied on standby [ID 728053.1]*
    Still it is on 9i, So you need to schedule RMAN job or Shell script file to delete archives.
    Before deleting archives
    1) you need to check is all the archives are applied or not
    2) then you can remove all the archives completed before 'sysdate-2';
    RMAN> delete archvielog all completed before 'sysdate-2';
    As per your requirement.

  • Standby database Archive log destination confusion

    Hi All,
    I need your help here..
    This is the first time that this situation is arising. We had sync issues in the oracle 10g standby database prior to this archive log destination confusion.So we rebuilt the standby to overcome this sync issue. But ever since then the archive logs in the standby database are moving to two different locations.
    The spfile entries are provided below:
    *.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=/m99/oradata/MARDB/archive/'
    *.standby_archive_dest='/m99/oradata/MARDB/standby'
    Prior to rebuilding the standby databases the archive logs were moving to /m99/oradata/MARDB/archive/ location which is the correct location. But now the archive logs are moving to both /m99/oradata/MARDB/archive/ and /m99/oradata/MARDB/standby location, with the majority of them moving to /m99/oradata/MARDB/standby location. This is pretty unusual.
    The archives in the production are moving to /m99/oradata/MARDB/archive/ location itself.
    Could you kindly help me overcome this issue.
    Regards,
    Dan

    Hi Anurag,
    Thank you for update.
    Prior to rebuilding the standby database the standby_archive_dest was set as it is. No modifications were made to the archive destination locations.
    The primary and standby databases are on different servers and dataguard is used to transfer the files.
    I wanted to highlight one more point here, The archive locations are similar to the ones i mentioned for the other stndby databases. But the archive logs are moving only to /archive location and not to the /standby location.

  • Adding online redo logs with standby database in place

    Hi group,
    I have decided to add one new member to my existing redo log groups and an additional redo log group to my primary database.
    That change went ok without problems. I assumed that with standby_file_management=auto the equivalent online redo logs are created on the standby database. But this is not the case.
    The documentation is unclear about this point and I did not find anything suitable on metalink. The docs suggest to cancel managed recovery on the standy, setting standby_file_management to MANUAL and then adding online logs, quote:
    "To add an online redo log, use a SQL statement such as this:
    SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE 'prmy3.log' SIZE 100K;"
    This however - IMO - adds a new STANDBY redo log to the standby database, what I need is an ONLINE redo log.
    Does anybody have some experience to share here?
    Facts:
    Solaris 8
    Oracle 9.2.0.6
    Thanks!
    Martin

    OK, for those who come across the same problem.
    You need to create a new standby controlfile, copy it as well as any new online redo log from production to the standby environment.
    Once the files are in place, start the standby as normal and open it read only to see if everything is ok:
    startup nomount
    alter database mount standby database;
    alter database open read only
    Only when there are no errors in your alert.log you are safe.

  • When is anything written to standby redo logs on standby database?

    I am on Oracle 10.2.0.4 on HP UNIX. I have read Oracle 10.2 concepts guide on technet.oracle.com, have read may article on metalink and internet, yet I am unable to verify when anything is written to standby redo logs on stand by database.
    I have a simple database reconfiguration: a primary database and one standby database.
    I created primary database and set up log_archive_dest_2 to use LGWR SYNC AFFIRM
    I have created standby redo logs on primary.
    alter database add standby logfile GROUP
    I create standby control file on primary.
    I copied all the primary information to create standby database. I have put standby database in managed recovery.
    I did archive log switches, I created a table and inserted information in table.
    I never saw standby redo logs updated on standby database by looking at timestamp of standby redo log files.
    I then setup database in maximum availability mode by running following on primary:
    Alter database set standby database to maximize availability
    When I do insert into my tables, I do see standby redo log files on primary database being updated, but I have never seen standby redo logs on standby database updated. Why?
    I am still at loss when actually standby redo logs are updated on standby database.
    When I read Oracle 9i database documentation on data guard, it says that you do not need standby redo logs on primary instead you need them on standby. Only reason, you need them on primary is from primary changes role to standby database, so standby redo logs on standby database should be updated instead of standby redo logs on primary.

    What is the PROTECTION_MODE ,PROTECTION_LEVEL values of your database.
    As per metalink:--
    Create standby redo log files, if necessary:
    Standby redo logs are necessary for the higher protection levels such as
    Guaranteed, Instant, and Rapid. In these protection modes LGWR from the
    Primary host writes transactions directly to the standby redo logs.
    This enables no data loss solutions and reduces the amount of data loss
    in the event of failure. Standby redo logs are not necessary if you are using
    the delayed protection mode.
    If you configure standby redo on the standby then you should also configure
    standby redo logs on the primary database. Even though the standby redo logs
    are not used when the database is running in the primary role, configuring
    the standby redo logs on the primary database is recommended in preparation
    for an eventual switchover operation.
    Standby redo logs must be archived before the data can be applied to the
    standby database. The standby archival operation occurs automatically, even if
    the standby database is not in ARCHIVELOG mode. However, the archiver process
    must be started on the standby database. Note that the use of the archiver
    process (ARCn) is a requirement for selection of a standby redo log.

  • Purge archive logs standby database

    How can I purge automaticly the archives logs in the standby database?
    I have oracle versión 11.2.0.2 with +ASM in solaris.
    Thanks.

    My bad.
    Will update my notes.
    This is still there :
    Applied Archivelogs Are Not Deleted On Physical Standby Site from Flash Recovery Area [ID 404338.1]
    Since you have your DELETION POLICY set correctly you can also run something like this on the Standby :
    run {
    allocate channel for maintenance device type disk;
    delete archivelog until time 'sysdate -5';
    }Best Regards
