How to monitor the successful archive log shipment to the standby database
Hello,
From the primary database, which data dictionary do I view to get information whether the standby database has received and processed the archive logs from the primary database. Both databases are 11202 on linux. Another question, which views on the primary database contain a flag sent by the standby database to the primary database to let the primary database knows that the standby database is up and functional? My purpose is to query the primary database for infomation that tell me the standby database is alive and functioning. I want to only query the primary database for these information about the standby database. Thank you in advance.

v$managed_standby (standby)
v$dataguard_status
v$dataguard_stats
Some of the new views are introduced from 11g, check below link too

Deleting the old Archive Log Files from the Hard Disk
Hello All,
I want to delete the old archive files of Oracle. These files are very old and consuming very huge disk space.
Is there any way by which I can delete these files from the Hard Disk?
Can I directly delete them using the Operating System Command?
Will it cause any dilfference to the normal functioning of my Database?
If I need to delete these files, do I need to bring the database down?
Please guide me.
I need to do this activity to make some space free on the Hard Disk.
Thanks in advance.
HimanshuHi.
Keep archived logs from time of last backup and forward to currenct time on disk together with the backup itself. And keep older archived logs together with older warm/cold backupfiles on tape as long as there is enough capasity or following your recovery strategy. This way you might be able to roll forward a recovery without restoring these files from tape which often the faster.
Older archived logs can be deleted manually, with scheduled OS script or automatically with RMAN.
Good luck

How to correct the corrupted archive log files?
Friends,
Our restore method is cloning type.
today i fired this statement(this is one is usually do for the restore) "recover database until cancel using backup controlfile"
i have 60 files in the archive folder.
it executs only 50 files when it comes to 51st file it came out and says could not copy the file.
is that particular file is corrupted?
or is there any restriction in copying no of archivelog files? i mean only 60 files like that.....
suppose if the archive file is corrupted how can i correct it?
thanks
sathyguyNow, this is the error message....
ORA-00310: archived log contains sequence 17480; sequence 17481 required
ORA-00334 archived log; '/archive2/OURDB/archive/ar0000017481.arc'i googled....and find out.....
ORA-00310 archived log contains sequence string; sequence string required
Cause: The archived log is out of sequence, probably because it is corrupted or
the wrong redo log file name was specified during recovery.
Action: Specify the correct redo log file and then retry the operation.so...from the above error messages.....i think the particular archive file(17481) is corrupted. now can i correct this corrupted archive file.
According to the above action, it says to specify the correct redo log file. if the file is not corrupted then where should i specify the redo log file's path?
thanks

How to restore cold backup + archived log files
Hi,
Suppose I take a cold backup on 18th. After that I have four days of archived log files. if the database crashes on 5th day, I have to restore the 18th cold back + 4 days of archived log files. How do I restore since it is a cold backup and I cant do incomplete recovery.
can I use
Recover database ( with 18th cold backup) in mount state and apply archived logs.
PrabhathThe details of how you perform forward recovery using a cold backup depends on
1- rman or manual backup
2- using current or backup control file
3- if rman, recovery catalog or no recovery catalog
4- if full database recovered or only a few files
Each of these conditions will affect what is known to Oracle and what needs to be done. For example if you restored the entire cold backup including the control file then Oracle would see a consistent database and not need to perform recovery so you would need to startup mount and tell the database to perform recovery using a backup control file. If using rman and no recovery catalog you might need to catalog some of the archived redo logs, etc....
It is advisable to consult the Backup and Recovery manuals before attempting recovery for any new scenario.

How to recover a lost archive log file?
How to recover a lost archive log file? Do I need to open the database with RESETLOGS after recovery?-------No.156
I think he might rewrite the question in his own words.
I guess in the event of lost archive logs during db recovery, you have to open RESETLOGS and say goodbye to some of the data. -
How to stop an abnormal Archive Log creation
Hi all,
How can I stop an abnormal Archive Log creation in the database.
sometimes suddenly the database is creating tremedously innumeral number of archive log and destination is full and database hang .After stoping the service and srver also , when I restart the database it continue again.
How can I stop it.
Naorem Nilkumar SinghaI've never heard of Oracle spontaneously deciding to start generating massive amounts of redo for no good reason. I would wager that there is some process which is hitting your database and making a significant number of data changes, which is causing your redo problems. You need to identify that process and either tune it so it generates less redo or you need to provide sufficient disk space to manage the redo generation rate your database requires.

I have set up two users, one for myself and one for children. The computer automatically logs in for the children with no password required. When the children go to spotlight and type in a search criteria all of my files show and open up. How do I prevent this?
Log in to your account, and move all your files to your home folder. No other users should be able to access them there and they won't show up with a Spotlight search.
Make sure your kids' account(s) do not have admin privileges. -
I do have wifi connection but no internet, how is this possible? I logged in to the internet at my friends place and when I got home my own internet was not working anymore
This is possible to be connected to WiFi but not internet.
You connect to your modem/router via WiFi and whether it is connected to the internet or configured properly to route the internet to WiFi devices is a different story.
Now if you've already reset your WiFi (try disabling and enabling) and perhaps even restarting your MBP
Then make sure that your modem/router is connected to the internet.
You can try any other device, lights on the modem/router or use Eth cable to test.

How does one name an Archive Log file in ARC%S_%R.%T format
Hallo!I have been trying to enable Archive Log mode for the Oracle 10g database.
In OEM,I went via the links Maintenance->Recovery Settings->Media Recovery
There,a text box by the name Log Archive Filename Format requires one to name the Archive Log file in ARC%S_%R.%T format.
I have tried several times to name the Archive log e.g ARC001_001.001 but when I shutdown and restart the database instance,the error below appears
ORA-19905: log_archive_format must contain %s, %t and %r.
This error has proved impossible to rectify and I am forced to uninstall then re-install Oracle 10g.
I would like to have back-ups in archive log mode.Please give me the best way to name the Archive Log file i.e with an example name so that I can have online back-ups.
Thanks.Hi,
If you try to change the LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT to something other than the default %s,%t,%r, it will fail
Perform as the below steps in order to enable archive log mode
SQL>create pfile from spfile
SQL>create pfile='c:\temp\init.ora' from spfile;
SQL>created;
SQL>shutdown immediate;
edit the init.ora file by adding the following information
*.LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1='LOCATION=C:\db\archive1'
*.LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT='%t_%s_%r.dbf'
Start the DB with modified pfile.

Will RMAN delete archive log files on a Standby server?
Environment:
Oracle 11.2.0.3 EE on Solaris 10.5
I am currently NOT using an RMAN repository (coming soon).
I have a Primary database sending log files to a Standby.
My Retention Policy is set to 'RECOVERY WINDOW OF 8 DAYS'.
Question: Will RMAN delete the archive log files on the Standby server after they become obsolete based on the Retention Policy or do I need to remove them manually via O/S command?
Does the fact that I'm NOT using an RMAN Repository at the moment make a difference?
Couldn't find the answer in the docs.
Thanks very much!!
-garyHello again Gary;
Sorry for the delay.
Why is what you suggested better?
No, its not better, but I prefer to manage the archive. This method works, period.
Does that fact (running a backup every 4 hours) make my archivelog deletion policy irrelevant?
No. The policy is important.
Having the Primary set to :
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBYBut set to "NONE" on the Standby.
Means the worst thing that can happen is RMAN will bark when you try to delete something. ( this is a good thing )
How do I prevent the archive backup process from backing up an archive log file before it gets shipped to the standby?
Should be a non-issue, the archive does not move, the REDO is transported and applied. There's SQL to monitor both ( Transport and Apply )
For Data Guard I would consider getting a copy of
"Oracle Data Guard 11g Handbook" - Larry Carpenter (AKA Dr. Paranoid ) ISBN 978-0-07-162111-2
Best Oracle book I've read in 10 years. Covers a ton of ground clearly.

Nore: I used RMAN to create the standby database. The following are brief steps
Below are the steps to accomplish the task :
Step 1: Backup the database that includes backup of datafiles, archivelogs and controlfile for standby
backup current controlfile for standby;
Step 2: Move the backups to the standby server and restore control file from backup
Step 3: Make changes in the parameter files of both primary and standby database
Step 4: Do the restore and recover on standby database
Step 5: Put the standby database in recover managed mode

Delete archive log files on physical standby
I want to delete the archive log files on the phsical standby database when they were applied. The archive log files are in the flash recovery area. So i used
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY;
in rman.
My question:
Does rman delete the archive log files immediately when they are applied or when the disk space becomes scarce?Hi,
They're marked as reclaimable when applied, so they're still on the disk but when the flah recovery area will become full they'll be deleted to give space to the new one, and so...

The product archive is invalid. The installer package may not include paths
I try again here, since we got no further and this message is becoming a show-stopper for us.
We have a simple app-file and build a package from this with Productbuilder only using
productbuild --component 'INtex Fahrtenbuch AS.app' --sign '3rd Party Mac Developer Installer: INtex Publishing GmbH & Co. KG' 'InstallationINtexFahrtenbuchAS.pkg'
Furthermore we checked for extended attributes everywhere with
ls -lad@ *
and removed any with
xattr -d -r com.apple.FinderInfo *
xattr -d -r com.apple.ResourceFork *
Packaging with Product Builder went fine and installation test with sudo was no problem.
Still we can´t upload our installer to iTunes connect. Message is once again but this time only:
The product archive is invalid. The installer package may not include paths outside of a bundle.
What can we do about that ? There is no path outside the bundle ...lemkesoft wrote:
