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 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.

  • OEM for physical standby database

    Hello All,
    I am using Oracle 11.2.0.3. My enterprise manager is db console 11.2
    I have Oracle Enterprise manager dbcnsole for my RAC primary database  and I have created through sqlplus command line a physical standby database.
    My questions
    Can I use the RAC primary dbconsole to monitor my physical standby database? if yes what the steps?
    Is it mandatory to use grid control in that case? if yes, what steps are needed to implement grid control ?
    Regards,

    Hi,
    It is not possible to monitor/administer a Logical or Physical Standby database, i.e Data Guard, using Enterprise Manager Database Control.  This is primarily due to the fact that Database Control is designed to monitor 1 database and a Data Guard environment, by definition, includes more than 1 database.
    If you attempt to run emca against a standby Database, you will get an error like (i.e. ORA-01219: database not open).
    Database Control, can, of course, be used to monitor the current Primary database (with no ability to administer or monitor Data Guard related functionality).  In such a case, when failover occurs Database Control must be reconfigured to run on the new Primary database using the commands detailed in Note 278100.1 How To Drop, Create And Recreate DB Control In A 10g Database, section C. Recreate/ReConfig DB Control, Option 2. Recreate the DB Control Configuration Files and Repository.
    Enterprise Manager Grid Control or Cloud Control provides the functionality for viewing, monitoring, and administering primary and standby databases in a Data Guard configuration.
    Reference: Is it Possible to Configure Database Control for a Logical or Physical Standby Database? (Doc ID 315116.1)
    Using EM cloud control 12c is best available option to monitor your standby databases

    Regards
    Vaibhav Dixit

    Hi Vaibhav,
    What exactly do you want to do?
    Alter database recover managed standby database; --->it will be in Manged Recovery mode.
    Alter database mount standby database; ----> it will be mounted, but no log files applies.
    Alter database open read only; ----> it will be open with read only option, but archeive logs will NOT be applied
    If you want to apply the Archive logs which are trasfered from Primary, then you need to fire the below commands
    Alter database recover managed standby database;
    Alter database recover managed standby database using current logfile;
    Alter database recover managed standby database using current logfile disconnect from session;
    To stop applying archives then,
    Alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
    Thanks and Regards.

  • Monitoring Physical standby database through OEM

    HI ,
    We are monitoring Physical standby database through OEM and we monitor from console using SYS user
    As per our company policy we change our sys password every month so after change it we need to change SYS password from console also
    so is any way we can change SYS password on console using command line utility? if yes then please give us the command
    Thanks

    we monitor from console using SYS userYou have to monitor it using a SYSDBA user not necessarily SYS. So you can create a user e.g. SYS_MONITOR which has different policy than SYS. Although it is best to change that password on regular bases too, maybe every 3 months.
    so is any way we can change SYS password on console using command line utility?I don't get your question. Are you asking if it is possible to change the monitoring username/password using some command line utility? If so, I haven't heard of such tool. But there could be a package like MGMT_TARGET which you can manipulate the credentials if you know how to use it.

  • 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.
    see below

  • 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 check data in physical standby database?

    Hi!
    I'm maintaining physical standby database system. everyday, i must check tranfer and apply progress. I known, it operate very good. No archive gap is found.
    But i want to check data in physical standby database that there is consistant with primary database, there isn't? What method do I use? How to do?
    thankS

    I hope the following will help
    Verifying the Physical Standby Database
    ==========================================
    Once you create the physical standby database and set up log transport services, you may want verify that database modifications are being successfully shipped from the primary database to the standby database.
    To see the new archived redo logs that were received on the standby database, you should first identify the existing archived redo logs on the standby database, archive a few logs on the primary database, and then check the standby database again. The following steps show how to perform these tasks.
    Step 1 Identify the existing archived redo logs.
    On the standby database, query the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view to identify existing archived redo logs. For example:
    SQL> SELECT SEQUENCE#, FIRST_TIME, NEXT_TIME
    2 FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG ORDER BY SEQUENCE#;
    SEQUENCE# FIRST_TIME NEXT_TIME
    8 11-JUL-02 17:50:45 11-JUL-02 17:50:53
    9 11-JUL-02 17:50:53 11-JUL-02 17:50:58
    10 11-JUL-02 17:50:58 11-JUL-02 17:51:03
    3 rows selected.
    Step 2 Archiving the current log.
    On the primary database, archive the current log using the following SQL statement:
    SQL> ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT;
    Step 3 Verify that the new archived redo log was received.
    On the standby database, query the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view to verify the redo log was received:
    SQL> SELECT SEQUENCE#, FIRST_TIME, NEXT_TIME
    2> FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG ORDER BY SEQUENCE#;
    SEQUENCE# FIRST_TIME NEXT_TIME
    8 11-JUL-02 17:50:45 11-JUL-02 17:50:53
    9 11-JUL-02 17:50:53 11-JUL-02 17:50:58
    10 11-JUL-02 17:50:58 11-JUL-02 17:51:03
    11 11-JUL-02 17:51:03 11-JUL-02 18:34:11
    4 rows selected.
    The logs are now available for log apply services to apply redo data to the standby database.
    Step 4 Verify that the new archived redo log was applied.
    On the standby database, query the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view to verify the archived redo log was applied.
    SQL> SELECT SEQUENCE#,APPLIED FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG
    2 ORDER BY SEQUENCE#;
    SEQUENCE# APP
    8 YES
    9 YES
    10 YES
    11 YES
    4 rows selected.

  • How to open a "manual" Physical standby database in read/write mode

    Hi,
    I am running Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production Standard Edition on Linux version 2.6.9-42.0.8.ELsmp ([email protected]) (gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3))
    I've created a physical standby database, but since I am running Standard Edition, I am not using the DataGuard features. I use the rsync utility to copy over the archivelogs to the standby database, and I apply them periodically to the standby database.
    The standby database is started this way :
    startup nomount pfile='/u01/oradata/orcl/initorcl.stdby';
    alter database mount standby database;
    Everything runs perfectly fine, I can do "alter database open read only" and then I can do selects into tables to confirm that everything is up to date.
    The thing is, if I shutdown immediate the database, then do just startup :
    shutdown immediate;
    startup;
    The database opens with no error messages, but is still in read-only mode...
    I read that the default behavior for a standby database is to open read-only, like I am experiencing, but I would like to know what is the right way to open it correctly in read-write mode (I understand that after that, my standby will not be standby anymore and that I will have to recreate my standby database).
    Thanks,
    Mat

    Hello,
    There're features which allows you to open a Standby database in Read/Write mode but for all I know
    it needs Entreprise Edition.
    In Enterprise Edition you can use Logical Standby database. More over, for Physical standby there's
    a way by using flashback database so as to rolling backward the database and avoiding to recreate
    the Standby.
    In Standard Edition I'm afraid that you'll have to recreate your Standby database.
    Best regards,
    Jean-Valentin

  • 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 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,

  • Problem creating physical Standby database with RMAN

    Hi All
    I am trying to learn oracle dataguard and as part of the process learning creating standby database.
    Platform : Sun-Fire-V250 Sparc, Solaris 10
    Database Version - Oracle 11R2
    I am creating standby database on same server, so directory structure is different.
    Following the instructions on Oracle site I managed to create a functional physical standby database. But I am not able to create standby database using RMAN. These are the steps that I followed-
    1.Set up all necessary parameters on primary database as done while creating physical standby database manually, eg setting force logging, creating standby logs etc.
    2.Edited parameter file on primary database as done while creating manual pysical standby database creation. Some of the changes done are-
    On Primary Database:
    *.FAL_CLIENT='orcl11020' #Primary database unique name
    *.FAL_SERVER='stdby_11' #Standby database unique name
    db_file_name_convert='/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11','/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020'
    log_file_name_convert='/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11','/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020','/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11/redo_mem','/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020/redo_mem'
    standby_file_management=auto
    *.log_archive_config='DG_CONFIG=(orcl11020,stdby_11)'
    *.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=/<dir>/flash_recovery_area/ORCL11020/archivelog
    VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES) db_unique_name=orcl11020'
    *.log_archive_dest_2='SERVICE=stdby_11 LGWR ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) db_unique_name=stdby_11'
    *.LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_1='ENABLE'
    *.LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2='ENABLE'
    *.LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT='%t_%s_%r.arc'
    *.LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES=30
    Copied same pfile for standby database and modified following-
    *.control_files='/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11/stdby_11.ctl','/<dir>/fra_stdby/stdby_11/stdby_11.ctl'
    *.db_name='orcl1102'
    *.db_unique_name='stdby_11'
    *.FAL_CLIENT='stdby_11'
    *.FAL_SERVER='orcl11020'
    db_file_name_convert='/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020','/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11'
    log_file_name_convert='/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020','/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11','/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020/redo_mem','/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11/redo_mem'
    standby_file_management=auto
    *.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=/<dir>/fra_stdby/STDBY_11/archivelog

    *.log_archive_dest_2='SERVICE=orcl11020 LGWR ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE)
    db_unique_name=orcl11020'
    3. Add relevant information in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files and then restart listener.
    3. Created password file with same credential as primary database.
    4.Up-to-date RMAN backup of primary database available.
    5.Create standby controlfile with rman
    While primary database s open (I tried with primary database in mount mode as well)-
    $>rman catalog rman/paswd@rman target /
    RMAN> BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE FOR STANDBY;
    6. Open a new terminal and startup standby database in nomount mode using parameter file created -
    $>ORACLE_SID=stdby_11
    $>export ORACLE_SID
    $>sqlplus / as sysdba
    SQL>STARTUP NOMOUNT pfile='<location/initfilename.ora'
    SQL>quit
    $> rman AUXILIARY / target sys/passwd@orcl11020 catalog rman/passwd@rman
    RMAN>DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE FOR STANDBY DORECOVER;
    RMAN finishes without error but archive logs are not being tranported. Looking at the log, following caught my eye-
    Error 1017 received logging on to the standby
    Check that the primary and standby are using a password file
    and remote_login_passwordfile is set to SHARED or EXCLUSIVE,
    and that the SYS password is same in the password files.
    returning error ORA-16191
    FAL[client, ARC2]: Error 16191 connecting to orcl11020 for fetching gap sequence

    So on both primary and standby I confirmed
    SQL> show parameter remote_login_passwordfile
    NAME TYPE VALUE
    remote_login_passwordfile string EXCLUSIVE
    To make double sure that password files are same, I shutdown both databases, delete password files and recreated with same credentials.
    Password files are called - orapworcl11020 and orapwstdby_11
    Can someone guide me where thisngs are going wrong here please.

    Not sure if I understood it clearly.
    SELECT * FROM V$ARCHIVE_GAP;
    returns no rows so there is no gap.
    But could you please explain me the result of the previous query. To catch up again, on standby when I check
    SELECT SEQUENCE#,APPLIED FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG
    SEQUENCE# APPLIED
    75 NO
    74 NO
    76 NO
    77 NO
    I understand that though archive files have been copied across but they are not applied yet.
    On primary when I give your query -
    SELECT name as STANDBY,SEQUENCE#,applied, completion_time
    2 FROM v$archived_log
    3 where dest_id=2
    4 and sequence# BETWEEN 74 and 80;
    I get -
    STANDBY SEQUENCE# APPLIED COMPLETIO
    stdby_11 74 YES 28-JUN-11
    stdby_11 75 YES 28-JUN-11
    stdby_11 76 YES 29-JUN-11
    stdby_11 77 YES 29-JUN-11
    stdby_11 78 YES 29-JUN-11
    stdby_11 79 YES 29-JUN-11
    stdby_11 80 YES 29-JUN-11
    stdby_11 75 NO 07-JUL-11
    stdby_11 74 NO 07-JUL-11
    stdby_11 76 NO 07-JUL-11
    stdby_11 77 NO 07-JUL-11
    stdby_11 78 NO 07-JUL-11
    I have intentionally given
    sequence# BETWEEN 74 and 80
    because I know in the current incarnaion of the database, max sequence is 78.
    So my understanding is, the rows between 28-29 June are from previous incarnation, correct me if I am wrong
    Archive files of the current incarnation, since I successfully created standby database are shipped but yet to be applied - am I right?
    Then my final question is, when will these archives be applied to standby database?
    I am sorry to ask too many questions but I am just trying to understand how it all works.
    Thanks for your help again
