Oracle 11g Goldengate working in a Data Guard environment

Hey Guys, I have the following setup:
Oracle 11.2.0.4.4 running on RHEL 6.6 64-bit
3 node RAC Primary
Single-node Standby with GI (Oracle Restart)
4 DBs on Primary - AA, BB, CC and DD
4 DBs running in Active Standby - AADR, BBDR, CCDR and DDDR
Databases AA and BB replicate schemas into CC, which is a Reporting/Operational Data Store. GoldenGate 11.2.x is used for the replication
XAG used for Goldengate HA
All good here with the Primary DBs and replication humming along quite nicely.
I have questions as part of building the DR environment. How should this work? As part of the real-time apply and active standby, CCDR should keep pace with the replicated primary DB CC. Now from a role transition perspective, I need to be have the GoldenGate software installed and configured on the Standby Server for starting the processes.
Question 1: When the role transition happens, based on the data guard role, I could well have a system trigger to spawn off a shell script that starts off the goldengate processes. Would this be the correct approach?
Question 2: Do I need to worry about setting/starting the extract/replicat from a specific CSN? The checkpoint table will be kept in sync as part of the SQL apply, so would just starting the extract and replicat process on the new Primary (old DR) work?
I am unable to get any pointers on this in Metalink. Would appreciate anyone could point me to a MOS document that talks about using GG and Data Guard together.
Thanks

On the first day, there is no backup to recover. It is only on the third day's run that this command will really be successful.
The white paper does explain this.

Oracle 11G Direct SQL Load with Data Guard

Does SQL Loader in direct mode always bypass the writing of redo logs ?
If the database has force logging on, will SQL Loader in direct mode bypass the writing of redo logs ?
Is there a way to run SQL Loader in direct mode that will create redo logs that can be applied by Data Guard to the backup database ?

Switchover in a data guard environment using Grid Control 10.2.0.3

I've tested switchover in a data guard environment using Data Guard Broker in Grid Control.
However, at times, i receive the message "RemoteOperationException: failed to establish input streaming thread". It looks like it has problems connecting to the remote node using the host credentials supplied. I know the credentials are ok because this worked before. If i test preferred credentials, it's ok too..
The workaround has been to restart the database and this seems to work.
Has anyone experienced this?

WLS 10.3.x setup in Data Guard environment

Hi all,
We are setting up the following environment:
Oracle Database 11.2.0.2 EE RAC primary and physical standby
WebLogic Server (WLS) 10.3.0
We are using MultiDataSource (MDS) per the documentation which is fine. However, this setup requires the data sources to specify the RAC hostnames (VIPs), instance names, and the service name. Per various documents we are not using the SCAN hostname. Considering this is a phsyical data guard environment, how do we set this up so we can have the best 'seamless' transfer of the WLS envrionment when a switchover or failover occurs from the primary to the standby database?
Thus far we've discussed using instead of the RAC virtual hostname (racprd1), a DNS cname (wls-racnode1) which points to racprd1, but we would modify in the DNS to point to racstby1 when a DG switch or failover occurs.
Any thoughts or recommendations otherwise?
Thanks.

OK...
Alter database rename should be ok As long as both the PRIMARY directory strucures are same or if you have set the parameter db_file_name_convert

ACLs in a Failsafe/data guard environment

Hi,
We have recently upgraded to Oracle Enterprise Edition 11.2.0.3
We had a slight issue with a few batch processes which sent success emails - we hadn't configured ACL permissions (We knew about it, and was on the log, but somehow got missed). All set up fine now in our test environment, but got a couple of queries before I set up in production.
Had a look in the documentation and tried searching
The ACLs I believe are managed as an XML file, on the database server, correct?
If so, how do we manage this on both a clustered, and a data guard environment? Or in the case of a database restore? Is the ACL file automagically regenerated out of some database metadata? Or do we need to recreate in each environment?
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Carl

Hi,
there is two ACL(Access Control List) one at Db level ans one is used at UNIX command for file permission , as you mentioned you have permission issue in batch execution.
so you can check below link
http://www.dartmouth.edu/~rc/help/faq/permissions.html
i am not sure which ACL you required.

Post the source of your information abouit the limit of 9 names.
Even the Oracle doc shows 1..30 names in the same provided although that doesn't necessarily indicate a limit.

Oracle 11g R2, Problem Loading Spatial Data

We have a geodatabase which has been implemented by oracle spatial. it has been working quite fine since 2 years ago. Recently the data center serving our geodatabase has been upgraded on both software and hardware specifications. The handler application now has difficulty retrieving spatial data. The problem is somehow strange; only some spatial objects are loaded and then application encounters exceptions.
Previous working database engine was an Oracle 11g R1 and the new one is Oracle 11g R2. The application is a java application mostly written by swing. Here is the stack trace:

I read in some forums that the problem could be caused by jdbc version incompatibility, so I just copied jdbc archives from the installed oracle 11g R2 jdbc folder but the problem persists. Last thing I should mention is that only spatial data is problemistic and non-spatial data is easily loaded.
Please Help, Thanks.

Hi storm,
During the installation of oracle as you said if you have given the global password, basically this specific password will reflect to users such as
-sys
-system
-dbsnmp
-sysman
As you are new to oracle the basics that you should know is that "SYS" user is the highly privileged user in Oracle and should be logged in as "sys as sysdba" with his respective password (i.e. the global password that you have entered during database installation) to obtain his privilege. Remember to manipulate your database with caution when you are logged in as the sys user. You can log into the database using the sys user in the following way:
c\> sqlplus sys as sysdba
password: ****** --It will ask you for the password and you will have to give the global password that was given during installation
Hope this helps!!!

Oracle 11g Fusion Middleware Control, CGICMD.DAT

Finally, I have Weblogic and Oracle 11g Forms and Reports up and running. Now, I would like to create a Mapping Key in the CGICMD.DAT file, so that all the login information will not show up in the URL when I run a report. Can someone please tell me how to do this through the Middleware Control console? I do know that i have to go through the MBeans System to find "CgicmdConfigMXBean" but it seems like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Also, is there a specific format when creating a Mapping Key? would like to include the path, userid information for connection to the reports.

Oracle 11g automatic archival // maintaining historic data

Hi Group,
We are planning to get Oracle 11g.
I want to know if Oracle 11g has the capability to do automatic archival?
My requirement is,
few of the tables in our application will have lot of records (data) and after some days/ months it might slog the performance cos of the table/db size, and also the old data will not be of much interest (but data cannot be purged/deleted until some years). Hence want to archive the old data (trigger conditions specified by the user) and will be needed to bring data back programatically whenever the user queries for the data belonging to that particular period(archived data).
Is there a feature available in Oracle to just specify the data to be archive and bring it back by giving a date/time input.

Hi,
First, this looks like a job for Oracle partitioning.
What is your motive for archiving? Improved performance? Cheaper media?
I want to know if Oracle 11g has the capability to do automatic archival? Sure, but you would have to script it yourself. Many shops do time-based rollover archiving with partitioned tables:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_partitioned_tablespace_archiving.htm
it might slog the performance cos of the table/db sizeNo, not if you are properly indexed . . . However, table partitioning can speedup queries against large tables with "partition aware" SQL:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_partition_sql_index_ss_hint.htm
want to archive the old data (trigger conditions specified by the user) I would not use triggers, schedule a job instead:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_archiving_data_in_file_structures.htm
needed to bring data back Sorry, back from where? You are archving to disk, right?

Oracle 11g stop working after installing Patch 1

I'm new to Oracle. I installed Oracle 11g Database this weekend. The installation went well with no problems. However, after installing the base system I then installed Patch1. I had no problems installing the patch. I restarted my system and then started the EM. I received the following message from the EM:
ORA-12505: TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach)
What does this mean and how do I fix it?
I then did an uninstall of Oracle 11g and then re-installed it. The problem went away. So I'm confidenced that the installation of Patch 1 caused the problem.
Thanks for your help.
Lou

I'm very sorry of the over sight on my part. My environment is as follows: Dell PowerEdge 1900 with 16gb of memory, 2 physical Quad processors and 4tb of disk space. I have the installed Oracle 11g on Windows 2008 Datacenter.
I am trying to upgrade as follows: Oracle Database 11g Release 11.1.0.6 to Oracle Database 11g Release 11.1.0.7. I will implement the Post Installation instruction to see what happens. It was an oversight on my part.
Thanks

Multiple Location of datafiles in Data Guard Environment

I have Data Guard setup in my oracle 10g database. Uptil now , all the datafiles were at same location, therefore db_file parameter setting in pfile was fine. Now I want to move my few of the datafiles at another location. Say, few of my datafiles would be in F:\ and some of them in G:\. How do I now set db_file parameters in Pfile ?

Backuping up a standby database in a Data Guard environment!

Hello everyone,
I have set a Data Guard in Oralce 10.2.0 between 2 databases for testing purposes. Each database is located on a different server. I want to schedule an incremental backup of the standby database to do an incremental level_1 backup everyday. I am following this paper:
[Using Recovery Manager with Oracle Data Guard in Oracle Database 10g|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/availability/rman-dataguard-10g-wp-1-129486.pdf]
but it's really unclear, for me, how this command sequence is constructed:
RECOVER COPY OF DATABASE WITH TAG ‘OSS’;
BACKUP DEVICE TYPE DISK INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 FOR
RECOVER OF COPY WITH TAG ‘OSS’ DATABASE;
BACKUP ARCHIVELOG ALL NOT BACKED UP TO SBT;
BACKUP BACKUPSET ALL;How can I recover a copy of database that wasn't backed up before? When I did that in RMAN, I got the following output:
Starting recover at 03-APR-11
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: sid=159 devtype=DISK
no copy of datafile 1 found to recover
no copy of datafile 2 found to recover
no copy of datafile 3 found to recover
no copy of datafile 4 found to recover
no copy of datafile 5 found to recover
Finished recover at 03-APR-11Could anyone please help me understanding this sequence of commands in a simple way to get a better idea of how to backup a standby database?
Thanks in advance...

On the first day, there is no backup to recover. It is only on the third day's run that this command will really be successful.
The white paper does explain this.
