Manually Apply Archived log to stand by database

Hi all,
I'm using Oracle 10g. So, we need to apply the archived logs of Primary database to stand by database, but this process must be manually.
A "robot" copy the archived logs to destination. I need to get these archived logs from destination and manually apply to stand by database.
How can I do this?
thank you very much!!!!

How can I do this?First stop current recover process as
alter database recover managed standby database cancel;Then transfer all need archive logs from primary to standby side and apply these manually using below command.
recover standby database until cancel
/*this command will ask full path of archive logs
and give these then finally enter "CANCEL" word*/Finally you can continue normal/automatic state using
alter database recover managed standby database ;

Manually apply archived log to standby database.

Hi all,
I am working on oracle 10g EE(10.2.0.4).I am having a very difficult database switchover case in my hand.
1.> There are two database .one primary(prim) and another standby(standby).
2.> Initially both of them was configured as oracle data guard, where prim was primary and standby was standby using rman .(RMAN>duplicate target database for
standby dorecover).
3.>But the rate of generation of archivelog is very high( 20 archivelog per hour with 200mb each).
4.> So automatic shipping of archivelog has been disabled from primary.(log_archive_dest_state_2=defer and nullifying the value of log_archive_dest_2).
5> Now after a period of time archived logs are shipped to dr site manually and applied manually.(alter database recover automatic standby database;)
6.> Now there is a hardware problem occured at primary..it will take 72 hours to come up.
How can i use standby database as primary for that 72 hour.As archive log apply is manually done and parameters are being changed,can i switch over these two?
Is it possible to switchover and switch back these two database with such a configuration?

As of now you can perform failover your standby to primary database. you should have flashaback enabled, so you have to create a restore point.
Then it can be opened in read & write mode, So once you finished again you can go back to that point.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/manage_ps.htm#i1017111
The above case applicable if you ready to loose, But it doesnt make sense. But in your case this doesnt work. Because once you start use of Standby as primary, there would be live/production data, which you need very much.
So there is lot of work to do.
You have to rebuild standby database and then switchover back to same location. So its a little trip work.
Have you enabled Dataguard Broker ?

Is there a way to apply archive logs, standby DB is opened with 'resetlogs'

Hi All,
I have setup a standby database (Oracle 10g SE). I applied hot backup and archive logs to the standby database till yesterday. I have opened the standby database using 'alter database open resetlogs;" and validated the application functionality using the standby database.
Now I want to regularly apply logs from the Primary database to the standby database, but today I have opened the standby database using 'alter database open resetlogs;"
Need assistance to know the way to apply archive logs, once the standby database is opened with 'resetlogs' option to keep it in sync with the Primary database.
Thanks

Welcome to OTN,
I have setup a standby database (Oracle 10g SE). I applied hot backup and archive logs to the standby database till yesterday. I have opened the standby database using 'alter database open resetlogs;" and validated the application functionality using the standby database.Standby opened with *resetlogs* ? What you did? have you performed failover of standby database?
Now I want to regularly apply logs from the Primary database to the standby database, but today I have opened the standby database using 'alter database open resetlogs;"
Need assistance to know the way to apply archive logs, once the standby database is opened with 'resetlogs' option to keep it in sync with the Primary database.Have you enabled Flashback & created Restore point? If so you can do it.. If not rebuild standby again.

Apply archive logs to database

I have a production database that is online. I'm planning to setup a pc with the same configurations as that of the db server and use that server as the reporting generation. The clone pc's database will be one day delay compared to the production database. I'm planning to use export/import but someone suggested to use the archive log files of the production database and apply it to the clone pc, is this doable?
I have a full export backup and all the archive log of the production database, is this enough to restore the clone pc to the state( one day back) of the production database?
Need your suggestions. Thanks

You can do this while configuring physical standby database.

Could u tell me last applyed archive log in disaster recovery server

Hi DBA'S,
we are using oracle 9.2.0.8 my production database has dr(our dr is not a stand by it is created in diff way) server every time one cron job sync the database and transfer the new logs from production server to dr server. i want to know last applied archive in dr server.
i am using this query select max(sequence#) from v$log_history; it is showing same results in boath production and dr when ever we backup 2 days before archive to some backup directory sync is going to fail
please tell me correct query to find out the last applied archived log in dr server
Thanks&Regards

As you are running cron job to bring the dr in sync, i suppose v$log_history might give you the wrong results.In your case check :-
select sequence#,applied from v$archived_log where applied='YES';
select max(sequence#) from v$archived_log where applied='YES';Would like to know, why manual recovery (archive logs being manually applied) is being performed, and not automatic.
In case you switch to automatic below query would be useful :-
select al.thrd "Thread", almax "Last Seq Received", lhmax "Last Seq Applied"
    from (select thread# thrd, max(sequence#) almax
            from v$archived_log
           where resetlogs_change#=(select resetlogs_change# from v$database)
           group by thread#) al,
         (select thread# thrd, max(sequence#) lhmax
           from v$log_history
            where first_time=(select max(first_time) from v$log_history)
           group by thread#) lh
          where al.thrd = lh.thrd;Refer [http://aprakash.wordpress.com/2010/07/21/use-of-varchived_log-and-vlog_history-on-physical-standby/]

Manual delete archived log files

Because we don't have RMAN in our development server, I need to use manual operation to delete all archived logs. Is my procedure correct and safe?
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE
STARTUP MOUNT
ALTER DATABASE NOARCHIVELOG;
EXITRun OS command to manually delete archived log files:
rm /oradata/arch/*
Login to sqlplus
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE

Oh I suppose RMAN need to be configured somthing before use. I tried it, and find no pre-requisite is required. Thanks!
If the archives are deleted manually in open mode, how can Oracle match the archived logs' retention policy? Does Oracle store the archived logs in data dictionary?While you can delete archivelogs manually any time you want, you should let rman manage them with appropriate rman commands, preferably in a script that you schedule for regular execution.
Some of your questions lead me to question if you understand that archivelogs are not actively open by the database, and they technically are not part of the database. They are simply a series of "offline" copies of the online redo logs. They are written to once, when an online redo is being archived, then they just sit there until needed for a recovery.

New standby not applying archive log

I have just created standby database....but its not applying archive log...
when I checked the alerlog file of standby....
ora-19527 physical standby redo log must be renamed

yes, I have created at onlien redo logs at standby database..
what is test and test?
i saw one command like this...
log_file_name_convert= ((''/u01/oradata/prod'', ''/u01/oradata/standby''),(''/u02/oradata/prod'', ''/u02/oradata/standby''))
My Primary DB name is OraclePM
My Standby DB name is OracleDR
I have placed all redo logs in direcrtory (D:\oracle\product\logs\ ) the directory structure for both databases is same... I have created 3 additionals redo logs at standby database...
How can I edit my standby init file...

1) Stop managed recovery on the standby.
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;2) Resolve the archive log gap - if you have configured FAL_SERVER and FAL_CLIENT Oracle should do this when you follow step 3 below, as you've manually copied the missed logs you should be OK
3) restart managed recovery using the command shown above.
You can monitor archive log catchup using the alert.log or your original query.

RMAN: How to apply Archive Logs after recoverying of all physical files

Hi;
I am using RMAN Oracle10g; my test database has being corrupted. I have already taken 0 level backup through this command
run {
allocate channel c1 type disk;
backup incremental level 0 tag = Test_Weekly_database format 'O:\rman\backup\Full_Weekly_%d_%s_%p_%t'(database);
release channel c1;
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to 'O:\rman\backup\Auto_Ctrl_weekly_%F';
allocate channel c1 type disk;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
BACKUP tag = Test_Weekly_Arch ARCHIVELOG UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE-7' format 'O:\rman\backup\Archive_weekly_%d_%s_%p_%t';
DELETE ARCHIVELOG UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE-7';
release channel c1;
After backing up I inserted few records in TEST123 table. And switch current log file.
Then my database has been corrupted. Now I have last 0 level backup (RMAN) and archive logs files on OS level.
I am recovering my database with the following commands; but archive logs have not being applied. And my inserted records were not presented in TEST123 table.
Kindly guide me

How to delete archive logs on the standby database....in 9i

Hello,
We are planning to setup a data guard (Maximum performance configuration ) between two Oracle 9i databases on two different servers.
The archive logs on the primary servers are deleted via a RMAN job bases on a policy , just wondering how I should delete the archive logs that are shipped to the standby.
Is putting a cron job on the standby to delete archive logs that are say 2 days old the proper approach or is there a built in data guard option that would some how allow archive logs that are no longer needed or are two days old deleted automatically.
thanks,
C.

Check this note.
*Configure RMAN to purge archivelogs after applied on standby [ID 728053.1]*
Still it is on 9i, So you need to schedule RMAN job or Shell script file to delete archives.
Before deleting archives
1) you need to check is all the archives are applied or not
2) then you can remove all the archives completed before 'sysdate-2';
RMAN> delete archvielog all completed before 'sysdate-2';
As per your requirement.

Applying Archive logs after restore by RMAN

We user RMAN for our backup. I wanted to restore the database and apply all the archive logs.
After I use
RMAN> Restore database ( from last night backup)
RMAN> Recover database
And now I want to apply all the archive logs from which were generated from last night backup say 11:00 pm till 10:00 am today morning.
How can I apply the archive logs.
Thanks

I have the RMAN backup on tape , and I have the archive logs on the disk , as the archive logs would be backed up only the following night.
i.e i want to restore a 10th night backup , and apply the logs from 10th night 11:00 pm to 10:00 am 11th morning. As the archive logs would still be on the disk , how can I apply them..
Thanks

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.
SQL> SELECT SEQUENCE#,APPLIED FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG ORDER BY SEQUENCE#;
SEQUENCE# APP
16018 YES
16019 YES
16020 NO ---------------------> Not applied.
16021 YES
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.

No clarity on location of archive logs in Oracle 11g database

I have this query which I am not able to resolve. There is one location of archive log mentioned as /oraarch/app/oracle/oradata/snlprod/archive_logs/ in the parameter log_archive_dest_1. But the archive logs are showing in another location /orabackup/rman/snlprod/archive_logs. I am wondering how the archive logs are showing in this location, /orabackup/rman/snlprod/archive_logs.
I guess there is only one way in which location can be given which is seen from Availability->Recovery Settings->Media Recovery.
I hope, my question is clear.
Please revert with the reply to my query.
Regards

Must be
show parameter db_recovery_file_dest
If you want archived redo log send to /oraarch/app/oracle/oradata/snlprod/archive_logs
then you must set log_archive_dest_1 ='LOCATION= /oraarch/app/oracle/oradata/snlprod/archive_logs'
log_archive_dest_1 is same before then it means your all archvied redo log file will create in this directory
