ORA-01403 - Logical Standby Apply ends on delete/update statement

- This thread is relocated to this forum; advice from Daniel Roy -
After implementing 2 logical standby databases and running pretty smooth for a while 'strange' errors occur which puzzle me. Sometimes I skip a transaction or exclude a schema from replication and hold my breath for what next roars its ugly head.
Despite fulfilling all logical standby prerequisites and maintaining primary keys on tables I now run into ORA-01403 errors. The updated table only contains 1 row and has a foreign key to another small table.
I could instantiate these tables, but I want to understand why these errors occur and prevent them form happing or learn how to resolve them best.
Anyone around who dealt with these matters and won?
I'm running this implementation with Oracle 9.2.0.7 on Tru64 51.b
I'm able to create the logical standby databases manually and with aid of the Data Guard Creation Wizard (EM10g 10.1).
Can anyone also help me out with refining the faulty transaction from e.g. V$LOGMNR_CONTENTS? (Without disrupting the data guard setup).
I've already retrieved redo info from archivelogs, but there must be an easy way.
Regards,
Erik

Any way for you to turn tracing on for the DB where you see this ORA-01403 error? We could then probably find out exactly what goes wrong. It's very hard for us to know exactly what might be wrong, since we don't know your exact setup (except for this table). Let me know if that's not possible, and I could construct a logical DB setup to test (even tho it would be on Windows, I don't have Tru64).

ORA-16821: logical standby database dictionary not yet loaded

Dear all,
I have a dataguard architecture with a primary and a standby database (for reporting stuffs). Since I upgraded physical standby to logical standby, I receive this error !
ORA-16821: logical standby database dictionary not yet loaded
If someone has an idea, should be great !!
Thanks

Hi,
Ok I applied :
SQL> ALTER DATABASE STOP LOGICAL STANDBY APPLY;

SQL> alter database start logical standby apply immediate;
Database altered.
SQL>
And now I received this :

Cause: The broker has detected multiple errors or warnings for the database. At least one of the detected errors or warnings may prevent a Fast-Start Failover from occurring.

What does it mean to check the status report.....
I found this about monitorable status report !!

One reason could be the SQL Apply engine performs too many slow full table scans, check metalink note:
Determining if SQL Apply Engine is Performing Full Table Scans
Doc ID: Note:255958.1
If this is the reason for the slowness you have to tune your DML statements.

Logical Standby Apply Process Performance

Hello,
We are testing our logical standby database for sql apply process.We run batch jobs in our active database and monitor the standby database for the time it takes to bring the database in sync following are the steps we follow:
1) Insure active and standby are in sync.
2) Stop sql apply on standby database.
3) Run Batch job on active database.
4) After completion of the job on active,start sql apply on standby.
Following are the details of the time taken by sql apply,based on the previous runs:
1st. 654K volume = 4 hrs (2727 records per min)
2nd. 810K volume = 8 hrs 45 mins (1543 records per min)
3rd. 744K volume = 7 hrs 17 mins (1704 records per min)
Following are the details of the logical stdby parameters :
MAX_SGA 100
MAX_SERVERS 15
PREPARE_SERVERS 4
APPLY_SERVERS 8
MAX_EVENTS_RECORDED 10000
RECORD_SKIP_ERRORS TRUE
RECORD_SKIP_DDL TRUE
RECORD_APPLIED_DDL FALSE
RECORD_UNSUPPORTED_OPERATIONS FALSE
EVENT_LOG_DEST DEST_EVENTS_TABLE
LOG_AUTO_DELETE TRUE
LOG_AUTO_DEL_RETENTION_TARGET 1440
PRESERVE_COMMIT_ORDER TRUE
ALLOW_TRANSFORMATION FALSE
can we ensure SQL apply process to apply data in consistent volume,Is it okay for a sql apply process to take same amount of time what the actual batch takes in active instance,can we further tweak apply process to get better performance.
Please help.
Thank you !!

Following are the details of the time taken by sql apply,based on the previous runs:
1st. 654K volume = 4 hrs (2727 records per min)
2nd. 810K volume = 8 hrs 45 mins (1543 records per min)
3rd. 744K volume = 7 hrs 17 mins (1704 records per min)
Following are the details of the logical stdby parameters :
Hi,
By looking at the above apply rate, the apply process is working normally and not having issues.
Since it's a bulk batch data update in PRIMARY, it's obvious and quite normal that it will take time in STANDBY database to get applied and in sync with PRIMARY.
Still, if you need to consider improving the performance, look out for adjusting the APPLIER & PREPARER process. (parameteres, APPLY_SERVERS & PREPAR_SERVERS).

Logical standby problem on primary DB updates

Hi all!
I am quite new to standby databases, but I managed to sucessfully setup logical standby (11g on linux).
However, I got some problem - when I try to insert some data into Primary DB using simple JDBC statements, I sometimes get exception:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-16224: Database Guard is enabled
And this happens not all the time - sometimes I can insert and commit, but sometimes I get exception.
This never happens when I am trying to insert data directly from sqlplus or TOAD.
looks to me like java application sometimes is connecting to standby database.
any suggestions?
Thanks

Check for example, whether both DBs present the same service and whether you have an oracle net configuration like
myservice =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host_A)(PORT = 1521))
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host_B)(PORT = 1521))
      (LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = myservice)
)You should make sure that the productive service is only presented by the primary database. See this explanation:

Logical Standby Apply Processes Die when granting a user sysdba on Primary

I've run into an issue where the sql apply processes are stopping when granting a user sysdba privilege on the primary.
The error is insufficient privileges.
Of course the workaround that we have used is to skip the transaction on the logical and then manually grant the sysdba privilege on the standby. I'm hoping there is a more elegant solution as I have 8 DBAs on my team and each on of the transactions will need to be skipped individually, and is a bit of a pain. Just thought I would ask if anyone out there has run into the same issue and has a better workaround.

I think you misunderstand. We run our standby in guard_mode 'STANDBY', which allows sys to perform the grant operation directly on the logical. Where it is failing is when we grant on the primary. That or I misunderstand. Are you saying that if I put in the script on the primary, the alter session command, then it will propagate down cleanly? That is something I have not tried of course, but makes sense how that could work, unless it throws an error on the primary because it is not a standby.

Standby Applied Archivelog Automatic Deletion

Dear OTN Community,
My Oracle version is 10gR2 and OS is HP-UX v11.31
My question here is i have configured the archivelog deletion policy from none to APPLIED ON STANDBY on the standby database since we are taking backups on the primary database. I left the archivelog deletion policy as none on the primary database.
I have also set the retention period from redundancy 1 to recovery window of 2 days on the primary database. So the archivelogs, backups etc. are older than 2 days should be tagged as expired.
Now should the Oracle delete the expired and applied archivelogs of primary database on the standby archive destination of the standby database, am i right?
The other question is, how can we delete applied archivelogs from the standby archive destination on the standby unix box automatically? Let's say, i do not want to delete them using a unix deletion script or taking a backup of the archivelogs on primary database. Is it possible on realtime with an Oracle parameter or not?
Thank you in anticipating,
Ogan

Hi Ogan,
It's better to set the parameter applied on standby on the standby AND on the primary side, anyvay one of the side will not do anything but after a switchover like this all is already set.
Then yes Oracle will delete expired backup, archivelog on the primary destination and delete the applied log on the standby destination.
For your other question, put the applied on standby also on the primary side.

Delete/update statements insite stored proce

I know this is probably fairly simple for some of you, but I am brand new to Oracle-SQL. In Sybase you can have the following stored procedure and works:
create procedure foo as
begin
create table ...
create index...
delete x
where ....
update x
where ...
end
In oracle everytime I need to execute a DML comand in a stored proc do I have to use execute immediate ('delete x...')?
thanks

> the above is not an application code, it is a simple
and dirty maybe way to transfer some data from
microsoft access to oracle. so, i need a quick and
disrty way to transfer this data.
I would have been using a SQL*Plus script myself to do this and not a stored procedure.
> is it there a limit of how many tables i can cerate
inside my stored proc using:
execute immediate('CREATE TABLE xxx AS select * from
yyy.... ?
No. Of course not.
Just keep in mind that each DDL is an implicit commit.
> i have a stored proc that creates couple tables with
the method shown above but the compiler compains for
the second create table zzz as select * from .... any
idea why?
DDL statement and error number are?

ORA-01403: no data found on LOGICAL STANDBY database

Hi ,
Logical Standby issue :
Oracle 10.2.0.2 enterprise edition .
M Working on LOGICAL Standby since 1 yrs but still i havent got this ......................................
I m getting countinuously no data foud errror on logical standby database .
I found the table causing the proble(db_logstdby_events) and skipped that table and instanciated table using bwlow package:
exec dbms_logstdby.instantiate_table (.......................................
but when i start apply process on logical standby it again give no data found for new table :
Even i tried to instantiate the table using EXPORT/IMPORT during down time but the same facing same problem .
As much as i known abt the error that is :
table1
id
10
20
30
Now if sql apply process on logical standby tries to performe the update transaction(for example) as belows
update table1 set id=100 where id=50;
above query will not be completed cos it will never find the values 50 which is not in table .Thts why this error comming ..
Now my worry is ... no users dare to change/make such changes on Logical standby .So if there is no changes in tables then sqll apply should get all the values to be needded for an update ......
watingggg guyssss/......

Troubleshooting ORA-1403 errors with Flashback Transaction
In the event that the SQL Apply engine errors out with an ORA-1403, it may be possible to utilize flashback transaction on the standby database to reconstruct the missing data. This is reliant upon the undo_retention parameter specified on the standby database instance.
ORA-1403: No Data Found
Under normal circumstances the ORA-1403 error should not be seen in a Logical Standby environment. The error occurs when data in a SQL Apply managed table is modified directly on the standby database, and then the same data is modified on the primary database.
When the modified data is updated on the primary database and received by the SQL Apply engine, the SQL Apply engine verifies the original version of the data is present on the standby database before updating the record. When this verification fails, an ORA-1403: No Data Found error is thrown by Oracle Data Guard: SQL Apply.
The initial error
When the SQL Apply engine verification fails, the error thrown by the SQL Apply engine is reported in the alert log of the logical standby database as well as a record being inserted into the DBA_LOGSTDBY_EVENTS view. The information in the alert log is truncated, while the error is reported in it's entirety in the database view.
LOGSTDBY stmt: update "SCOTT"."MASTER"
set
"NAME" = 'john'
where
"PK" = 1 and
"NAME" = 'andrew' and
ROWID = 'AAAAAAAAEAAAAAPAAA'
LOGSTDBY status: ORA-01403: no data found
LOGSTDBY PID 1006, oracle@staco03 (P004)
LOGSTDBY XID 0x0006.00e.00000417, Thread 1, RBA 0x02dd.00002221.10
The Investigation
The first step is to analyze the historical data of the table that threw the error. This can be achieved using the VERSIONS clause of the SELECT statement.
SQL> select versions_xid
, versions_startscn
, versions_endscn
, versions_operation
, pk
, name
from scott.master
versions between scn minvalue and maxvalue
where pk = 1
order by nvl(versions_startscn,0);
VERSIONS_XID VERSIONS_STARTSCN VERSIONS_ENDSCN V PK NAME
03001900EE070000 3492279 3492290 I 1 andrew
02000D00E4070000 3492290 D 1 andrew
Depending upon the amount of undo retention that the database is configured to retain (undo_retention) and the activity on the table, the information returned might be extensive and the versions between syntax might need to be changed to restrict the amount of information returned.
From the information returned, it can be seen that the record was first inserted at scn 3492279 and then was deleted at scn 3492290 as part of transaction ID 02000D00E4070000. Using the transaction ID, the database should be queried to find the scope of the transaction. This is achieved by querying the flashback_transaction_query view.
SQL> select operation
, undo_sql
from flashback_transaction_query
where xid = hextoraw('02000D00E4070000');
OPERATION UNDO_SQL
DELETE insert into "SCOTT"."MASTER"("PK","NAME") values
('1','andrew');
BEGIN
Note that there is always one row returned representing the start of the transaction. In this transaction, only one row was deleted in the master table. The undo_sql column when executed will restore the original data into the table.
SQL> insert into "SCOTT"."MASTER"("PK","NAME") values ('1','andrew');
SQL> commit;
The SQL Apply engine may now be restarted and the transaction will be applied to the standby database.
SQL> alter database start logical standby apply;

Logical standby: SQL Apply too slow

Hi all,
I have a question regarding SQL Apply performance in logical standby. There are two kind of operations that are remarkably slow when applying them on logical standby. These are "truncate table" and "delete from table" operations.
When logical standby pick up one of mentioned statements from logs one of appliers start working whereas rest others are waiting. It looks like standby hang and very slow sql apply is moving on gradually and finally when operation completes standby is behind primary for 4 or 5 or even 8 hours.
What can be done in this regard to speed up sql apply and alleviate this situation?
Best Regards,
Alex

Are you absolutely sure that the truncate is the problem (and deletes). How did you check it?
You can use LogMiner to check what are most of the commands in the log currently applied. I use this:
BEGIN
sys.DBMS_LOGMNR.ADD_LOGFILE( LOGFILENAME => '/home/oracle/arc_43547_1_595785865.arc', OPTIONS => sys.DBMS_LOGMNR.ADDFILE);
END;
BEGIN
sys.DBMS_LOGMNR.START_LOGMNR( OPTIONS => sys.DBMS_LOGMNR.DICT_FROM_ONLINE_CATALOG);
END;
SELECT seg_owner,seg_name,table_name,operation,COUNT(1) FROM V$LOGMNR_CONTENTS
GROUP BY seg_owner,seg_name,table_name,operation
ORDER BY COUNT(1) DESC
BEGIN
sys.DBMS_LOGMNR.END_LOGMNR();
END;
Most of the times in our cases when SQL Apply is slow is because of high activity on particular object. This can be detected by high number of DMLs for that object using LogMiner. If this object is not needed on the logical standby you can skip it and thus SQL Apply will be faster because it will not apply changes for this particular one. If it's needed and this is not a regular rate, then you can skip it temporarily, turn on SQL Apply , after problematic logs are applied, turn off SQL Apply, instantiate the object and unskip it, turn on sql apply again.
Another thing that can drastically slowdown SQL Apply is the size of memory available for SQL Apply(Alert log shows that max is ~4.5GB or something like this, I'm not sure )
You can increase it with something like this:
ALTER DATABASE STOP LOGICAL STANDBY APPLY;
BEGIN
DBMS_LOGSTDBY.APPLY_SET('MAX_SGA', 3000); -- set to 3000 MB
END;
ALTER DATABASE START LOGICAL STANDBY APPLY;
You have to increase it if the following reports:
SELECT NAME, VALUE FROM V$LOGSTDBY_STATS
WHERE NAME LIKE '%page%' OR
NAME LIKE '%uptime%' or name like '%idle%';
that 'bytes paged out' increases if run every few seconds during slow SQL Apply.
I hope that it's something that can be fixed using the above info. If no, please comment and share your investigations.
Thanks

Skip the DELETE command on logical standby

Hi All,
I want to skip the DELETE command on logical standby.
DB Version - 10.2
OS - Linux
Primary DB and logical standby DB .
In our DB schema some transaction tables. We delete data from those tables by delete commands.
Delete command, also delete data from logical standby DB. But we want to skip on logical standby DB .
I use following for that and get error.
ALTER DATABASE STOP LOGICAL STANDBY APPLY;
EXECUTE DBMS_LOGSTDBY.SKIP (stmt =>'DELETE TABLE', schema_name =>'TEST',object_name =>'TRANS',proc_name => null);
ALTER DATABASE START LOGICAL STANDBY APPLY IMMEDIATE;
But I got error
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'SKIP'
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
When I change stmt =>'DELETE TABLE' to stmt =>'DML', no error happen
Please help me to solve this issue . This is urgent.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Dear aditi2,
Actually it is so simple to understand the problem. Please read the following documentation and try to understand the SKIP procedure.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/appdev.101/b10802/d_lsbydb.htm#997290
*SKIP Procedure*
Use the SKIP procedure to define filters that prevent the application of SQL statements on the logical standby database.
By default, all SQL statements executed on a primary database are applied to a logical standby database.
If only a subset of activity on a primary database is of interest for application to the standby database,
you can use the SKIP procedure to define filters that prevent the application of SQL statements on the logical standby database.
While skipping (ignoring) SQL statements is the primary goal of filters,
it is also possible to associate a stored procedure with a DDL filter so that runtime determinations can be made whether to skip the statement,
execute this statement, or execute a replacement statement.
Syntax
DBMS_LOGSTDBY.SKIP (
     stmt                      IN VARCHAR2,
     schema_name               IN VARCHAR2,
     object_name               IN VARCHAR2,
     proc_name                 IN VARCHAR2,
     use_like                  IN BOOLEAN,
     esc                       IN CHAR1);Hope That Helps.

Real-time apply cascaded logical standby database

Hi
I have a primary database orcl
Pysical standby database orcl_std
Cascaded logical standby database orcl_tri which receives archivelogs from orcl_std
Real time apply is enabled both in orcl_std (physical standby) and orcl_tri (logical standby)
When I create a table in primary orcl, I am unable to see it on orcl_tri (Although real time apply is enabled)
However, when I switch log in primary, I can see the new table on orcl_tri.
My question is, why realtime apply is not working in my scenerio ?
orcl_std : ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION USING CURRENT LOGFILE;
orcl_tri: ALTER DATABASE START LOGICAL STANDBY APPLY IMMEDIATE;
Oracle 11.2.0.3.0

Hi mseberg,
Thanks for your reply.
There is no load or network issue as I`ve just created these databases for the experiement.
I have the same output from standby and primary databases.
