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:

Can i convert logical standby database to physical standby database

Dear All,
Can i convert a logical standby database to physical standby database?
If yes, what are the steps to follow?
Thanks
Mahipal

I never needed or tested something like this, but below maybe usefull -
Transient Logical Standby
Users can convert a physical standby to a transient logical standby database to effect a rolling database upgrade, and then revert the standby to its original state as a physical standby database once the upgrade is complete - using the KEEP IDENTITY clause. This benefits physical standby users who wish to execute a rolling database upgrade without investing in redundant storage otherwise needed to create a logical standby database.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/htdocs/DataGuardOverview.html
But opposite is documented - http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/create_ls.htm#BEIGJCAC
best regards.

Logical standby database to physical standby database

I already start my logical standby database and I want to return it again to physical standby database. So what should I do?

>
The "may be" is because I have tested flashback of a physical standby to before resetlogs, but not a logical standby.
>
A physical standby keeps the DBID of the primary - a logical standby does not. That is exactly the problem that restricts the reconversion into physical from logical, and you did not encounter that problem.
>
I haven't used "keep identity" but from what I read it relates to "convert to physical" not "flashback database".
>
Exactly. And that is what the OP wants to do: convert to physical (from logical).
You mentioned that this might be possible with flashback.
Problem: During the conversion from physical to logical, the DBID gets changed unless you specify (in 11g) KEEP IDENTITY. This would make it possible to reconvert into phyiscal from logical.
In short: If there is no solution for the changed DBID of the logical standby in order to flashback it into physical as you suggested, then it is not possible .
When I saw your first answer, I thought that you might have a solution in mind in order to solve that obvious problem. Sorry for having bothered you.
Kind regards

Cascading physical standby from another physical standby for primary rac

my supplier told me that is possible mount a cascade physical standby from a physical standby for my rac installation.
but according the note "409013.1" seems not:
"Cascading a logical or physical standby database from a physical standby database is supported as long as the primary database is not a RAC database and is not part of a Data Guard Broker configuration - the support status of this configuration is unchanged from previous documentation."
before was possible? do you know why not now?
has anyone mounted? can I allow my provider to mount?
oracle version: 10.2.0.2.0

Is it possible this scenario?YES

Can you convert a Logical standby to a Physical Standby?

Is it possible to convert a Logical Standby database back to a Physical Standby database? The reason I am asking is that I would like to convert my Physical Standby database to a Logical Standby database, do a rolling upgrade from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.2 then convert the standby back to a Physical. Does anyone know if this is possible?

I would consider logging a TAR with Oracle support for suggestions.
Here's mine:
Install 10.2.0.2 into new, separate Oracle homes(10.2.0.1 & 10.2.0.2 patch & CPU2006Apr & 4516865 patch) on Prime and SB Nodes.
Create a New 10.2.0.2 database.
Then transport the tablespaces from Old Primary to New Primary.(short downtime)
Drop current DR Configuration.
Stop and Drop the 10.2.0.1 databases, then rename the 10.2.0.2 to same SID as old one (short downtime) .
Search for and follow the "create standby with minimal downtime" document from metalink.(use "minimal" as search string).
Your Total downtime should now only be a few minutes.
Test the whole idea first though, using 'toy' sized databases. (All care, no responsibility etc)

Local logical standby and remote physical standby

Dear All,
My database version is 10.2.0.1.0(production) and Operating System Linux x86-64 OS Version Red Hat Enterprise 4
Below is my configuration details:
Rprimary Database:Two Nodes RAC
StandBy Database LOCAL:Standalone database
Standby Database Remote:Two Node RAC
So,my question is, i want my local physical DR to convert into logical standby and
Remote DR will operate as physical standby as it IS.
sql>EXECUTE DBMS_LOGSTDBY.BUILD
After executing the above statement in my production primary database will there be any performance HIT.
And another important is that my above statement shouldn't affect my remote physical DR database.
Just the local DR should get converted into logical standby database
Thanks and Regards

Monoj DasIn any Data Guard environment, you can have either physical or logical or even mixed[physical + logical]
There will be no performance issue if you run the package for logical standby DBMS_LOGSTDBY.BUILD , This package provides you to manage even logical standby database.

Create logical standby from existing physical standby on 9i

I have physical standby database 9i running.
I want to try to convert the physical standby to logical standby. i follow the step by step in metalink document no. 748595.1
But I cannot do the 6th step:
6. Issue command to switch physical standby to logical standby after changing db_name in pfile to logical standby name. Shutdown the standby database if mounted and mount the database again. In this configuration, logical standby database name is LGSTDBY.
sql>alter database recover to logical standby LGSTDBY;
alter database recover to logical standby LGSTDBY;
Error at line 1:
ORA-00905: missing keyword
I have tried to create pfile from spfile on stanby and change the db_name to lgstdby.
I started nomount using pfile. I still cannot run the command.
I tried to mount the standby database but error occured:
ORA-01103: database name 'PRIMARY' in controlfile is not 'LGSTDBY'
The document in metalink is for 10.2.0.4
Is it possible to do it at 9i??
Thx for the help...

How to 1 logical schema to many physical schemas?

I have a database schema which is instantiated on many different servers. I set up a physical schema pointing to one, and a logical schema pointing to that physical schema. I imported the schema to a model, created interfaces for the tables, and created a package to execute it; and that is all working for that one physical instance.
1) How can I implement that same model, interfaces, and package for each of the physical instances?
1a) Can I change the JDBC parameters at package run time to point to a different database? How?
1b) Can I select a different physical schema for the logical schema at package run time so that I only have to set up a different physical schema for each database? How?
Thank you.

"But if you have a lot of context (for example 1000 stores), you can define a generic physical schema, a logical one. The physical is based on variables (host, port,..). "
Using contexts is working for me, but at least one of my schemas has more than 50 server instances, so this approach would be beneficial. Before I posted this question, I had tried to use variables for the host, port, and SID without success. I used a global variable and gave it default values, but it failed. Then I tried setting the value in a package and creating a scenario, but that too failed. What am I missing?

1.backup with controlfile from standby (rman>backup current controlfile)
2.manual deleted my test db controlfile,tried to restore from backup taken from standby(rman>restore controlfile from '*****************';)
3.rman>restore database
3.but it shows error (datafile already exists) ,controlfile tried to create datafiles on standby location.
my conclusion:above my cmds used to create datafiles on standby becoz i restored with standby controlfile.
my question:what is wrong with my steps? and how to restore my (prod) controlfile from standby.and bring backup my prod db.

Standby redologs on Physical Standby

Hi all,
Oracle 10gR2
I'd already created Standby redolog files @Primary then take rman backup of datafiles,archivelogfiles and control file for restoration standby
do i still need to create standby redolog files @Physical standy (after rman restoration completes)
RMAN> DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE FOR STANDBY NOFILENAMECHECK;
Kindly suggest.
Regards & thanks to all
Muhammad Shakeel Azeem

Hello;
No.
If you create the SRL on the Primary and then take an RMAN backup for duplicate they will be part of that backup.
Example :
RMAN RUN {
allocate channel d1 type disk;
backup format '/u01/backups/PRIMARY/df_t%t_s%s_p%p' database;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
backup format '/u01/backups/PRIMARY/al_t%t_s%s_p%p' archivelog all;
backup current controlfile for standby format '/u01/backups/PRIMARY/sb_t%t_s%s_p%p';
release channel d1;
}Restore example
run {
allocate channel C1 device type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel C2 device type disk;
duplicate target database for standby nofilenamecheck;
}Best Regards
mseberg
Double Check ( To be clear on Oracle 11, but I think it work the same on 10 )
I checked my test Standby which I created using RMAN- The SRL's are there.
But you are 10 so use this to check for them :
select * from v$standby_log;If they are not there and the database is mounted create them as follows :
ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE GROUP 4 '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/PRIMARY/redo04.log' SIZE 100M;Change path, size, names and groups as needed.

Flashback database and Physical Standby databases

Hi,
We are thinking about the following scenario in our Production Standby databases. We are trying to do this to avoid number database cloning situations.
When we require live data to test data fixes :-
1. Switchover/failover the standby database.
2. opened this database in read write mode.
3. Apply the fix and test.
4. Flashing back the database prior to the SCN which did the switchover/failover.
5. Activate the standby again using a new standby controlfile.
Would you experts please comment on this idea?
Is this is possible? If so, would you please guide through the steps/some documentation.
Thanks in advance

This will not work according to me,
1)U can give previous SCN in rollback and gets the data till that SCN, but it will not become standby unless u make it a standby again manually by creating standy controlfile etc(may be this will be succesfull and limited up to check the data fixes).
2)Iif your first step succesfull then what about the fixes u test by applying patches using opatch and patchsets that cannot be rollbacked using flashback because they are copying new version files and adding some more configuration files to oracle home?.
There are lots of pitfalls and loop holes needed to be checked

How to convert the .dmp file into my oracle database

There is a .dmp file which produced by the oracle for NT.
How could I use this .dmp file to create my oracle for Linux
database?
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thank you very much!
The reply Email also send to [email protected] will be
appreciated.

You will first need to create your database on your linux
platform complete with all necessary tablespaces and datafiles.
If you were going from unix to unix and each platfrom's datafile
file structure was the same then only the system tablespace
would need to be pre-created, import would have done the rest.
However, you are going from nt to unix so the tablespace create
statements will have invalid paths.
So, list out the view dba_tablespaces. Create a starter
database (system tablespace complete with installed options).
The system tablespace should be the same (or bigger) at the one
on the nt platform. Then create these same tablespaces on your
linux platform. Once the database has been created complete with
all tablespaces then use the import utility to populate your
database.
Done.

How to convert square waves to a physical data

Hi all,
I have omega ftb-1302 flowmeter sensor which gives a square wave as output.I wired it to DAQ.When i plug in the power supply i saw this image
When i open the valve it doesn not fluctuate.What am i supposed to do?
Attachments:
flowmeter.pdf ‏288 KB
flowmeter.vi ‏52 KB

It is hard to say because the terminology is not precise.
Does the power supply have a ground connection or just + and - outputs? Something needs to connect between the power supply and the DAQ system ground. Analog Input - may not be the same as ground. Some small current must flow from the signal output line through the DAQ input to DAQ ground to sensor ground to power supply. If you do not define that path by correct wiring, errors or damge to equipment can result.
What DAQ device are you using? What power supply?

Physical Standby database Vs. Logical Standby database

I have few questions regarding capability of Logical Standby Database against Physical Standby database.
1. How efficient is Logical Standby database in terms of Physical Standby Database?? How both differ from each other and can I use Logical Standby Database for disaster Recovery?? Can It be use for recovering the failed Primary Instance?? If yes how efficient and reliable it is??
2. What are the known bugs and roadblocks for logical standby database on Oracle 10.2.0.1 on Soalris X86-64?
3.As logical standby database not going to replicate each and every schema of Primary database?? how is the change management effects to the logical standby from primary?? I mean there are some parameters and job that we create on primary how can it be transferred over to the logical standby??

1. How efficient is Logical Standby database in terms

each other and can I use Logical Standby Database for
disaster Recovery?? Can It be use for recovering the
failed Primary Instance?? If yes how efficient and
reliable it is??I'm not sure what sort of "efficiency" you're talking about here...
Physical standby is just the old, tried and true application of archived logs to recover a database. Very solid, very old school.
Logical standby, on the other hand, is parsing the redo log, extracting logical change records, and applying them to the standby database. This obviously takes a bit more processing effort, it's newer technology, it doesn't have quite the level of support that physical standby does (i.e. certain data types are excluded), etc. You certainly can use it for failover, but it isn't quite as robust as a physical standby. Of course, this is getting better and better all the time and is definitely a focus of Oracle's development efforts.
On the other hand, logical standby systems can do things other than act as a warm standby. They can be open serving reports, for example. You can create additional structures (i.e. new materialized views) to support reporting. A physical standby is pretty much always going to be in managed recovery mode, so it cannot be queried.
2. What are the known bugs and roadblocks for logical
standby database on Oracle 10.2.0.1 on Soalris
X86-64?a) You'll want to do a Metalink search
b) If you're talking about a high-availability solution, why are you looking at a base release of the database? Why wouldn't you apply the latest patchset?
3.As logical standby database not going to replicate
each and every schema of Primary database?? how is
the change management effects to the logical standby
from primary?? I mean there are some parameters and
job that we create on primary how can it be
transferred over to the logical standby??I'm not sure I understand... Changes made to the primary generate redo. Oracle parses that redo, generates a LCR, and sends that to the standby database where that change record gets applied.
