How to add datafile to standby database

Hi,
We have standby database on another site and we are using manual recovery. How to add datafile to standby database after datafile is added to primary database.
We are on Oracle 9i R2.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
When you recover the standby database after you added a datafile to the production, you will get an error that the file that needs recovery does not exist.
At this point you can connect to the standby and issue:
alter database create datafile '<original_name>' as '<new_name>';the new name is optional if the location of the files are the same.
After that, you can continue recovering the standby database.

Relocating datafiles on standby database after mount point on stanby is ful

Hi,
We have a physical standby database.
The location of datafiles on primary database are at /oracle/oradata/ and the location of datafiles on standby database are at /oracle/oradata/
Now we are facing a situation of mount mount getting full on standby database so we need to move some tablespaces to another location on standby.
Say old location is /oracle/oradata/ and new location is /oradata_new/ and the tablespaces to be relocated are say tab1 and tab2.
Can anybody tell me whether following steps are correct.
1. Stop managed recovery on standby database
alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
2. Shutdown standby database
shutdown immediate;
3. Open standby database in mount stage
startup mount;
4. Copy the datafiles to new location say /oradata_new/ using os level command
4. Rename the datafile
alter database rename file
'/oracle/oradata/tab1.123451.dbf', '/oracle/oradata/tab1.123452.dbf','/oracle/oradata/tab2.123451.dbf',''/oracle/oradata/tab2.123452.dbf'
to '/oradata_new/tab1.123451.dbf', '/oradata_new/tab1.123452.dbf','/oradata_new/tab2.123451.dbf',''/oradata_new/tab2.123452.dbf';
5. Edit the parameter db_file_name_convert
alter system set db_file_name_convert='/oracle/oradata/tab1','/oradata_new/tab1','/oracle/oradata/tab2','/oradata_new/tab2'
6. Start a managed recovery on standby database
alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
I am littelbit confused in step 5 as we want to relocate only two tablespaces and not all tablespaces so we have used.
Can we use db_file_name_convert like this i.e. does this work for only two tablespaces tab1 and tab2.
Thanks & Regards

8.3.4 Renaming a Datafile in the Primary Database
When you rename one or more datafiles in the primary database, the change is not propagated to the standby database. Therefore, if you want to rename the same datafiles on the standby database, you must manually make the equivalent modifications on the standby database because the modifications are not performed automatically, even if the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter is set to AUTO.
The following steps describe how to rename a datafile in the primary database and manually propagate the changes to the standby database.
To rename the datafile in the primary database, take the tablespace offline:
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_4 OFFLINE;
Exit from the SQL prompt and issue an operating system command, such as the following UNIX mv command, to rename the datafile on the primary system:
% mv /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf
/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf
Rename the datafile in the primary database and bring the tablespace back online:
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_4 RENAME DATAFILE 2> '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf'
3> TO '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf';
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE tbs_4 ONLINE;
Connect to the standby database, query the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view to verify all of the archived redo log files are applied, and then stop Redo Apply:
SQL> SELECT SEQUENCE#,APPLIED FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG ORDER BY SEQUENCE#;
SEQUENCE# APP
8 YES
9 YES
10 YES
11 YES
4 rows selected.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;
Shut down the standby database:
SQL> SHUTDOWN;
Rename the datafile at the standby site using an operating system command, such as the UNIX mv command:
% mv /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf /disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf
Start and mount the standby database:
SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;
Rename the datafile in the standby control file. Note that the STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT initialization parameter must be set to MANUAL.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_4.dbf'
2> TO '/disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf';
On the standby database, restart Redo Apply:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE
2> DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
If you do not rename the corresponding datafile at the standby system, and then try to refresh the standby database control file, the standby database will attempt to use the renamed datafile, but it will not find it. Consequently, you will see error messages similar to the following in the alert log:
ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock datafile 4 - see DBWR trace file
ORA-01110: datafile 4: '/Disk1/oracle/oradata/payroll/tbs_x.dbf'

hi.
Its not necessary its a otherway around to recover datafile from this backupset and apply archivelogs to make datafile consistent.
yes, it ain't the right way to restore backup to primary location.
so how would i connect to standby database with primary and recovery catalog.
i need to connect to recovery catalog and primary site because i need to restore to primary location and recovery catalog contain all metadata and backupsets related information.
i also tried the following steps from oracle documentation.
Connect to the standby database as the target database:
CONNECT TARGET sys@standby
You are prompted for a password:
target database Password: password
Connect to the primary database as the auxiliary database:
CONNECT AUXILIARY sys@primary
You are prompted for a password:
target database Password: password
Back up the datafile on the standby host across the network to a location on the primary host. For example, suppose that /disk1/df2.dbf is the name of datafile 2 on the standby host. Suppose that /disk8/datafile2.dbf is the name of datafile 2 on the primary host. The following command would copy datafile 2 over the network to /disk9/df2copy.dbf:
BACKUP AS COPY DATAFILE 2 AUXILIARY FORMAT '/disk9/df2copy.dbf';
Starting backup at 06-NOV-08
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: SID=1068 device type=DISK

How to make a physical standby database in the read_only state in 11g?

In 10g, we can make a physical standby database in the read_only state. But in 11g, no a read_only state for a physical standby database. How to make a physical standby database in the read_only state in 11g?

Hi
read-only mode (for 11g physical standby)
A mode in which a database can be opened that allows queries, but disallows modifications.
A physical standby database can be opened read-only so that queries may be performed. If a license for the Oracle Active Data Guard option has been purchased, a physical satndby database can be open while redo apply is active. This capability is known as Real-time Query.

How to sync primary and standby database in 11GR2 on linux

Hi ,
How to sync primary and standby database in 11GR2 on linux . Both my primay and standby are 3 node cluster each.
Can you please suggest a good link and brief steps .
Thanks

Are you trying to setup a new standby or sync an existing standby database?
OK I see it
"standby is behind the primary"
So you have a gap.
I would check both alert logs for a cause. You might find something like this
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor.Look for ORA-00308 and ORA-27037 and ORA-16055.
There's no sense fixing the gap unless the cause is fixed too.
Also check out this post from a few days ago its dealing with similar issues.

Restoring and recovering datafiles in standby database

Hi,
oracle version : 8i(8.1.7.0.0)
os : sun solaris
I have scenerio where i lost some of the datafiles in standby database(physical standby) and i do have standby cold backup 3 months older since database size is 1TB is can i restore the the only lost files from cold backup and recover using archivelog files. since i only lost 4 data files of size 4gb each it will be faster compare to restoring the whole TB size database.
appreciated for valuable inputs.
Thanks

How to add an existing content database to new Site collection

Hi All,
Can anyone help to figure out how can I add existing content database to a new site collection in SharePoint 2013 foundation.
We have more than 40 site collections under one web application, and only one site collection is returning 404 error. When checked in the central admin to view all site collections, the details on the right side of the site is not visible, and unable
to delete it. The database is not corrupt, as I tried to add the same content database to a new web application, and it works perfectly in a new web app.
As we couldn't find any solution, the only option we thought of was to blow the site collection and create a new one and add the exisiting database, but I am unaware as to how can I add existing database to new create site collection. Can anyone help
me with this please?
Regards,
DJ

It's working....
The current database was corrupt I guess, (not sure though). Took old backup file and tested to see if it's working. After the test was successful...
Removed the current database in CA
Delete the current database in SQL server
Restored the working backup file in SQL server
Added the content db in CA
That's it... the site collection is working now...
Regards,
DJ

Restore datafile to standby database

dear all,
i have a standby database which use raw devices under solaris 9.
and a primary database which use filesystem under solaris 9 too.
recently i have a problem which is nologging issue. see ML 290161.1
my question is how we know that when restore to raw devices through rman, will it replace file in the raw?
or should I create new raw and directing my new restore to new raw?

How to monitor 8i physical standby databases ?

Hi guys,
It seems easy to create and monitor standby databases for 9i and 10g instances through OEM 10, but what about 8i standby db ?
Has everything to be done manually : creation, monitoring, maintenance ?
It is at least possible to monitor redo transport and applying for example with an older version of OEM ?
thanks for your help
Antoine

10g EM is the first version, which really monitors (almost) the whole landscape. Previous versions don't deal with Dataguard configurations. 10g EM still can monitor an 8i (must be at least 8.1.7.4) database, but on a very basic level. Remember 8i is desupported for a long time now. 9i is also desupported, but many sites still use it, that can't be ignored by Oracle.

How to add a row to database from tableModel

hi friends,
i wnt to know that is it possible that when i add some rows in a table which has been created by a table model to add those rows to database like what happen in MS Access when u add rows and close the window the rows are automatically added to database
i want to know where to add the listener for that and which listener to use ?

thanks Andre,
but i have solved my problem in a different way, i have used
method SetValueAt() of AbstractTableModel which i have used to
create the table
actaully my question was little confusing, i wanted
to add rows as soon as the user has finished entering
a new row...it would be better if it could be done for
every cell but that would be more complex...

How to add datafile from previous installation to a new one

Hello,
I have a new installation Oracle 11g 11.1.0.6 (64b), in addition to that i have a copy (all files - 'cold backup') of my previous installation Oracle 11g 11.1.0.6 (32b). I don't have any backup from expdp or rman. How can I import data from the old installation to the new one? Is there any simple way? When i just overwrite users01.dbf (tablespace users) i get an error when i start my instance:
ORA-01203: wrong incarnation of this file - wrong creation SCN
When I overwrite all *.dbf files, control files (*.ctl) and redo logs (*.log) and then when i try connect i get an error:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
Does anybody can help me? Any help is highly appreciate.

How can I create a Standby Database going from AIX to Solaris

Hello All,
I need to create a read-only replica of my Oracle 9i database on AIX to a 9i or greater database on Solaris. The replica must recieve the changes to the master database on an interval. The standard DataGuard solution does not support mixed operating systems.
Is there another way to create the replica? I would prefer not to create triggers on the master tables.
Your input is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
If you just wants to have replication, try materialised view. Hope this will work.
