How to apply Oracle patch when physical standby database in place

Dear All,
I want to apply Oracle patchset 8 on 10.2.0.5 when physical standby database in place. What are the steps for Primary site and for standby site.
Thanks in advance
Kamran Laeeq

Hi Kamran,
You will not upgrade or patch the standby database by importing offline redologs. On the contrary, there is a procedure to do this. Please note that you will not transitiate the role from standby to primary or startup the database. You will just startup the database by executing "startup mount" and "startup upgrade", during the upgrade. It means that you will not change database role standby to primary and you will be able to continue to the log shipment after the respective upgrade.
But, it is very important that you should stop the log shipment and apply all the offline redologs, before the upgrade. Technically, you can import offline redologs after the upgrade, by changing "compatibility" parameter in oracle, but regarding to my experiences it may cause some problems after you transitiate the role from standby to primary.
In short;
In order to stop log shipment, at the primary site;
alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2=defer;
In order to import all the offline redologs without a delay, at the standby site;
alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
alter database recover managed standby database nodelay disconnect from session;
I hope that I clarified the issue,
Best regards,

Appying patches when Physical standby in place.

Kindly suggest steps for patch application /application upgradation. We dont have any replication tool.What is the standard process to sync standby after patch upgradation . Is there any alternative of rsync/rdist utility.
Is it possible that after applying patch in Primary, On Standby we have to apply as it is, with no Database inclusion as the standby database will be in mount state and will not available for making database changes.
How to find which files to be copied manually to sync the standby with Primary. Will this method reliable?
Apologies to ask many questions but i found no single document covering this detailed process.

Both the links are for applying patches/upgrades for Oracle Database. Apologies i didn't clarify the requirement. It's for EBS R12. So i need to sync the apps tier with primary when physical standby in place.
Kindly validate below procedure with rsync utility
After running the Middle Tier and Database Pre-clone.
To synchronize Synchronize the Appropriate File Systems to Standby,
rsync –av <$APPL_TOP> <standby_host>:<$APPL_TOP>
--rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync
/usr/local/bin/rsync –av <$COMMON_TOP> <standby_host>:<$COMMON_TOP>
/usr/local/bin/rsync –av <$ web ORACLE HOMEs (10.1.2)> <standby_host>:<$ web ORACLE HOMEs (10.1.2)>
/usr/local/bin/rsync –av <$TOOL(10.1.3)> <standby_host>:<$COMMON_TOP>
Synchronize the database tier file system including <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>/appsutil directory.
/usr/local/bin/rsync –av <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>/appsutil <standby_host>:<RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>/appsutil
Reconfigure the Standby Middle Tier File Systems
When the file system synchronization is complete, reconfigure the standby file systems. Log onto each of the standby middle tier systems as the APPLMGR user and execute the following commands:
cd <COMMON_TOP>/clone/bin
perl adcfgclone.pl atTechStack <INST_TOP>/appl/admin/<Standby CONTEXT_NAME>.xml
To complete the configuration of environment run AutoConfig using the following commands:
cd <APPL_TOP>/ad/12.0.0/bin
adconfig.sh contextfile=<INST_TOP>/appl/admin/<standby context>.xml run=INSTE8
AutoConfig will report errors regarding to database connection, these errors can be ignored as the database is unavailable.
Step 4.4.11 - Reconfigure the Standby Database File Systems
If you had to synchronize the apps utilities on the database server in the prior step, you should also reconfigure the database server. As the ORACLE user on each database node of standby database tier, first stop the listener if it is running, then execute the following commands:
cd <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>/appsutil/clone/bin
perl adcfgclone.pl dbTechStack <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>/appsutil/<Standby CONTEXT_NAME>.xml

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.

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.

Upgrading with a physical standby database in place

Hi all
I am planning to upgrade my database which is 11.2.0.1 (Windows 32 platform) to 11.2.0.3. It has a primary standby database. I only have 1 server for testing the primary database, so I am looking for some help.
I was reading http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28294/upgrades.htm#CHDBJAGG and I confuse about step 4 and 5
+4. Install the new release of the Oracle software into a new Oracle home on the physical standby database system, as described in the Oracle Database Upgrade Guide.+
+5. Mount the physical standby database.+
My question is in step 5, when I mount the physical standby database, does it mounted using new Oracle binary or still using the old version? From my understanding what is step 4 doing is to copying files to new home only. Changing the service to use the new oracle binary is done by dbua. I know this when I test upgrading the primary database.
Regards
Stanley.

Hello;
new Oracle binary or the new Oracle home if you will.
So you install the new software on the standby only, all the upgrade SQL gets done on the Primary and then you ENABLE and startup mount on the new oracle home and the standby gets upgraded from the Primary redo.
Its pretty simple ( My exact plan )
1. Disable log shipping from the Primary
2. Shutdown Standby
3. Install 11.2.0.3 on Standby - Just the software
4. Startup Standby in recovery mode - do NOT run r any SQL at the standby
5. Shutdown Primary
6. Install 11.2.0.3 on Primary
7. Run Upgrade SQL or DBUA at Primary
8. Re-enable log shipping
9. Monitor the redo apply from Primary to Standby - this will also upgrade the Standby data dictionary
Make sure your tnsnames and listener files move to the new Oracle home and edit as needed.
Another oracle note is 278641.1

How to apply archivelog with gap on standby database

I have check the last sequence# on standby database which is 19921. And I have archivelog starting from sequence# 20672 onwards. When I am trying to apply archive log starting from sequence# 20672 , it is searching for 'D:\ORACLE\ADMIN\TEST\ARCH\TEST001S19921.ARC' file and cancel the recovery. Please note that I don't have those missing archive on Primary server as well. So How can I apply the remaining archive log which I do have from 20672 onwards.
I hope I am not creating any confusion.
Thx in advance.

Hi Aijaz,
Thx for your answer. But my scenario is bit complex. I have checked my standby database status which is not running in recovery mode. I have tried to find archive_gap which is 0 on standby server. I am copying all archived log from primary to standby thru the script every 2 hour and appying them on standby. After applying, the script is removing all applied log files from primary as well as standby. So it is something like I have archivelog from 1,2,3,7,8,9,10. So 4,5 and 6 archivelog are missing which is required when I am trying to recover standby database. Also note that I want to apply 7,8,9,10. I will loose some data from those missing archive but I have cold back any way. I don't have those missing archivelog files(4,5 and 6) anywhere at all. So how can I recover standby database. I am using standby just for the backup purpose.
I hope my question is clear now.
Thx in advance

How to change COMPATIBLE with a physical standby database?

Hello.
The obvious answer is do it on both the primary and the standby at the same time... since the reference manual says : "When using a standby database, this parameter must have the same value on both the primary and standby databases.".
However, I was wondering, I have a 10.2.0.3 DB with compatible=9.2.0.5. What will happen if I leave the parameter to 9.2.0.5 on the standby and just make the change to 10.2.0.3 on the primary? Would I be able to continue to apply the logs on the physical standby? Would I be able to open it ? (I understand that the transport won't probably work anymore and that I won't be able to switchover)
I guess those 2 questions are stupid but I haven't found any clear statement yet.
Please stay tolerant. Thank you.
Gregory
PS: I know what are the alternatives.

So the answer is obviously: We cannot do that. That completely makes sense btw. I tried with 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.4 and I got:
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============

ORA-00334: archived log: '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/WHITE/redo02.log'
I should have think about it before I asked. That would have meant we could revert the database from 10g to 9i any time... And the bootstrap changes are not stored in the redo log...

How to apply the changes in logical standby database

Hi,
I am new to Dataguard. I am now using 10.2.0.3 and followed the steps from Oracle Data Guard Concepts and Administration Guide to setup a logical standby database.
When I insert a record to a table from the primary database side, when i query the same table from the logical standby database, it doesn't show the new records.
Did I miss something? What I want to do is when I insert a record in the primary db, then the corresponding record will be inserted in the standby db.
Or I totally misunderstand what Oracle data guard is? Any help are appreciated.

Issue on physical standby database

Hi
I've a problem on standby database.
I recently added a datafile on primary database, then I scp'ed the data file to physical standby database.On physical standby database I tried performing recovery.
I get following message in my alert log
WARNING! Recovering data file 88 from a fuzzy file. If not the current file
it might be an online backup taken without entering the begin backup command.
ORA-279 signalled during: ALTER DATABASE RECOVER standby database ...
how can I fix this now.
We keep physical standby database 2 day behind, and apply logs manually.
Physical standby database is maintained manually.
Could someone help me in getting out of this problem.

Versus keeping it in manual mode, you can specify a time "delay" for the application of the logs:
From http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/log_apply.htm#i1022811
6.2.2 Specifying a Time Delay for the Application of Archived Redo Log Files
In some cases, you may want to create a time lag between the time when redo data is received from the primary site and when it is applied to the standby database. You can specify a time interval (in minutes) to protect against the application of corrupted or erroneous data to the standby database. When you set a DELAY interval, it does not delay the transport of the redo data to the standby database. Instead, the time lag you specify begins when the redo data is completely archived at the standby destination.
Note:
If you define a delay for a destination that has real-time apply enabled, the delay is ignored.
Specifying a Time Delay
You can set a time delay on primary and standby databases using the DELAY=minutes attribute of the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameter to delay applying archived redo log files to the standby database. By default, there is no time delay. If you specify the DELAY attribute without specifying a value, then the default delay interval is 30 minutes.
Canceling a Time Delay
You can cancel a specified delay interval as follows:
For physical standby databases, use the NODELAY keyword of the RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE clause:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE NODELAY;
For logical standby databases, specify the following SQL statement:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE START LOGICAL STANDBY APPLY NODELAY;
These commands result in log apply services immediately beginning to apply archived redo log files to the standby database, before the time interval expires. Also, see:
Section 12.8, "Using a Physical Standby Database with a Time Lag"
Oracle Database SQL Reference for the DELAY attribute of the ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE statement

How to identify that my physical standby database in use real time apply?

Hi,
Can any one give me the SQL to identifiy that my physical standby database is in real time applying redo logs?
Its urgen please....
Thanks.

You could just look at the alert log. Look for "Recovery of Online Redo Log"
Or you could select from v$standby_apply_snapshot to see if the standby is up-to-date.
select thread#, to_char(snapshot_time,'dd-mon-yyyy:hh24:mi'),
to_char(applied_time,'dd-mon-yyyy:hh24:mi'),
to_char(newest_time,'dd-mon-yyyy:hh24:mi') from V$STANDBY_APPLY_SNAPSHOT;

How to convert logical standby database to Physical Standby Database

Hi,
Does anyone know how to convert logical standby database(10.2.0.3) to Physical Standby Database(10.2.0.3)? Is this possible? If so,please give me steps for it.
Thanks.
Regards,
RJ.

I don't believe this to be possible. One of the steps invloved in the creation of a logical standby is the following:
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
This makes the logical standby a different incarnation of the db from the primary.
A physical standby is a binary copy of a primary db, a logical standby is a completely seperate db that just happens to get sql statements applied to it that are generated from a primary db, but is open read/write.
One avenue, though would be if you had flashback database enabled and you flashed back all the way to when the db was a physical standby and then rolled forward with the archived redo logs.
It's somewhat unlikely you are in that situation, but that is a possibility.
Indeed the 11g snapshot standby does this sort of thing:

How to change the database character set on physical standby database?

Hi,
We have a database with character set WE8ISO8859P1 and migrated the character set to WE8MSWIN1252 using csscan/csalter scripts. This database has a physical standby database setup also and after the migration, the physical standby database is still showing the character set as WE8ISO8859P1. How can I change the characterset on the physical standby? I raised a Service Request with Oracle, and they said that recreating the standby database is the only supported way of changing the char set on the standby database. Is this true?
Thanks,
Sreekanth

Thank you, Robert, for your reply.
The standby is in sync with the primary.
