How do i find dataloss in Data Guard?

We are using redo log, in async mode, following is our setting.
SERVICE=xxx_sb max_failure=100 reopen=600 LGWR ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=xxx_sb
When i query V$managed_Standby for delay_mins, its always zero. Meaning there is no delay in copying a log. I have 2 questions..
1. How can i communicate to business that in worst case we will lose x Mintues of data? Its an OLTP, where the transactions are less then 2mins. Also during the night there are some batch jobs where the transactions are 60mins longs.
2. Most of the time during peak hours there is a log switch happening every 10-15mins but during non-peak it may not happen for a long period of time, is it advisable to set ARCHIVE_LAG_TIME to 10 mins? as im not using archiver , we are using log writer for standby.
any explanation or point to documentation would be appreciated,
Thanks,

Production databases who are running with fully fined configured Data Guard, do'nt have any dataloss because failover operation ensures zero data loss if dataguard is configured with maximum protection mode or maximum availability mode at failover time.
http://www.dbazone.com/docs/oracle_10gDataGuard_overview.pdf
The above pdf is oracle white paper which too confirmed it.
LGWR SYNC AFFIRM in Oracle Data Guard is used for zero data loss. How does one ensure zero data loss? Well, the redo block generated at the primary has to reach the standby across the network (that's where the SYNC part comes in - i.e. it is a synchronous network call), and then the block has to be written on disk on the standby (that's where the AFFIRM part comes in) - typically on a standby redo log.
Can you have LGWR SYNC NOAFFIRM? Yes sure. Then you will have synchronous network transport, but the only thing you are guaranteed is that the block has reached the remote standby's memory. It has not been written on to disk yet. So not really a zero data loss solution (e.g. what if the standby instance crashes before the disk I/O).
To sum up -> LGWR SYNC AFFIRM means primary transaction commits are waiting for ntk I/O + disk I/O acks. LGWR SYNC NOAFFIRM means primary transaction commits are waiting for ntk I/O only.

    Thanks so much for your reply King_Penguin. No, sadly there is not indication of the expected release date on the film, it's no where to be found. I have also tried to look in other places online, but no luck. I guess your latter statement jives more with my situation, that  being the studio/rights-holder hasn't feel inclined to provide the date.

    How do I find out the date in which I registered my imac?

    It doens't really matter what date you registered it. However if you are looking to see when your expiration on AppleCare is/was it is 3 years from the original date of purchase. You can use the Apple Online Service Assistant afer you input the serial number click the link that says See your service and support coverage.

  • How do I find my iCloud data that Yosemite erased ?? Yosemite has resurrected an old Apple ID from the Me days. Everything is gone because of Yosemite

    How do I find all my data on ICloud. I downloaded Yosemite and it erased ALL of my data on the Cloud. It caused an Apple ID from Me to resurrect and has wreaked havoc on my devices. It even erased all my backup data on my Passport drive. The Passport drive shows all of my downloaded backups from 2011, but when you double clickon the various backup dates, they all show as empty. I was able to restore my music by downloading a 3rd party application, but my pictures are gone. I was having a conversation thisweekend and an eavesdropper said she has the EXACT same problem.

    An apple ID is nothing more than a "User ID"
    Actually, it is more than that. If you read the licensing agreements for any OS version or app obtained at the app store, it will become clear: the license for any app or OS obtained at the app store is not transferable. Hence it is tied to your Apple ID and will remain so - it cannot be removed.
    You are supposed to remove anything obtained at the app store from the computer before giving/selling it. Your father will also not be able to reinstall the OS if need be.
    Which OS version was on the Mac originally? You will need to use internet recovery (Command + Option + R) to erase your drive and then reinstall the original OS (if Lion or later). If it came with an install DVD, boot from that, erase the drive and reinstall. After that, your father can very easily download/update/reinstall any OS or app using his own Apple ID.

  • How can I find out my data usage for the past 3 months?

    Greetings all, I have been a long time Verizon customer, and as such I, along with my husband, was grandfathered into the unlimited data plan. When I last spoke to a representative, they informed me that the only way we were going to be able to keep our unlimited data was by paying the full retail price ($600+) to get a new phone. So we were considering upgrading and changing to one of the newer data plans so we could still get the discounted price on the new phone, but I would like to make sure I choose one with enough data, without paying for a bunch of data that I don't use, however MyVerizon only shows me the amount I have used since the start of the billing cycle. Is there a way to find out the data usage for both my husband and myself for the last 3 months so I can choose the right option?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

        Hello sweetpea1221! How exciting that you're considering upgrading with us. mrhelper is helpful, indeed. You can view your data usage for each line under the View Bill option via your My Verizon account. You can also view your 3 month average  data usage with our Account Analysis feature. Here's a link that will be helpful in doing so http://bit.ly/vnLjqO. I'm confident that we have a great plan to match your data needs. Please let us know if you have further questions.

  • APPLE CARE - How do I find out the date of purchase of my mac?

    Can anyone point out how do I find out the exact date of purchase of my mac? I would like to purchase the apple care extended warranty and I do not recall the exact date of purchase of my mac...just before or after a full year...? Can I look it up anywhere?
    Many thanks in advance for your help.
    Max

    You can go to this site,
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do
    it tells you when your warranty expires which is 1 year after you purchased it, thats possibly the easiest way, but if you bought it from a store it may be different as it may be the date they purchased it.
    With the extension program, if i purchase one now, my MBP was purchased april last year, will the extended warranty ad onto the date i purchase the extension program or from april last year when i purchased the mbp? I'm wondering because if purchase it now that effectively makes it covered for warranty for up to 4 years!

  • How to change Finder View Arrange Date Created sort order

    When yoo go to a list of photos in a file under Finder, they can be sorted in different ways, but the most common one for me is by Date Created.  That's all good, but they come out with the latest date first on the list and the earliest at the bottom.  I prefer the opposite to be ideal, but I can find no way or information on how to reverse the sort order.  Any help out there? Thanks.

    Hi, Richard -
    Look for a small triangle in the column's title bar/button. Click on that triangle - it should switch from pointing down to pointing up (or vice versa), indicated the sort order has been reversed.

  • How can I find my contract date and length online?

    I've searched everywhere and can't find anywhere online in MyBT that has the actual details of my contract date and length. I know I renewed my  line rental in advance and have Option 3 phone and broadband. I need to know, if I have paid a year's line rental, does that mean I'm automatically contracted to a year's Option 3 also?
    It would be SO much simpler not to have to waste hours going round in circles on the website. It is as though contract info that is personal to the subscriber is deliberately hidden. I can't think of any other provider who does this.
    All it would take is : Your contract started:....... Your contract ends..........
    Not rocket science!
