Oracle diagnostics on standby

Hi All,
My physical standby - Oracle 11gr2 on RHEL5.6
I want to run RDA on the physical standby, should I run in open read-only mode ?

Yes
It can be run in open modeDo you mean OPEN READ-ONLY or OPEN ?

Oracle 11g Logical Standby not Replicating Security?

Hello,
I found that our Oracle 11g logical standby database stopped replicating security commands anymore since it was created as a Oracle 11g database. The security commands are related to users, roles and profiles such as create/alter/drop user, etc. The 11g logical standby database has no problem replicating other commands. Is this normal change with Oracle 11g logical standby? I know Oracle 10g logical standby can replicate those commands. The Oracle 11g logical standby was created the same way as Oracle 10g logical standby. We don't skip security commands on purpose. Anyone who got Oracle 11g logical standby has the same issue? We would like logical standby database to be able to replicate security. If it is normal for Oracle 11g logical standby to stop replicating security, is there a way to make Oracle 11g logical standby still replicates security?
Thanks!

had you started apply using this syntax
real time apply
alter database start logical standby apply immediate;
check lag:
alter session set nls_date_format='dd/mm hh24:mi';
select newest_time || chr(22)|| newest_scn||chr(10)||applied_time||chr(22)||applied_scn||chr(13)||chr(16)||(newest_scn-applied_scn) lag from dba_logstdby_progress

Oracle 10g Logical Standby

The question is on Oracle 10g Logical Standby Data Guard. Below is the short description of what we wanted to do.
We currently run our Remedy application on Oracle10g. We wanted to setup Data Guard (logical standby) so we can perform our application upgrade on the logical standby. While we upgrade our application, our customers perform the dml on the primary instance.
During the upgrade, we will change the ddl on our application in the logical standby instance. After the application upgrade, we do a role switch between the two instances (primary became a new logical standby and logical standby became new primary). Now, we wanted the data or the dml that our customers perform on the old primary replicate over to the new primary.
It is possible for the logical standby to perform the ddl at the same time user perform the ddl and dml on the primary instance?
After role switch between the two instances, is the data changed on the primary replicate over to the new primary?
Thank you for your helps.

Hi Shital,
Guard_status protects the data from being changed.
ALL- By default it is not possible for a non-privileged user to modify data on a data guard SQL apply database. This is because the database guard is automatically set to ALL.
With this level of security, only SYS user can modify the data.
STANDBY- When you set this level of security, users are able to modify data that is not maintained by the Logical apply engine.
NONE permits any users to access the standby database as long as they have correct privileges. This is the normal security for all data in the database.
You can change the guard status value from ALL to NONE in order to allow non-privileged users to modify data and Yes you can create user and extra tablespace in logical standby database..this is what the one of advantage of using Logical standby database.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE GUARD NONE;
Thanks

R12 Oracle Diagnostics Zip files

Sorry if this has been asked before but my understanding is Oracle Support's preference when uploading multiple files to an SR is to zip them into a single zip file.
However when you are asked by Support to run multiple R12 Oracle Diagnostics each resulting html file arrives compressed in its own zip file.
This creates a problem because as far as I know you cannot zip multiple zip files together and you must go through the laborious task of extracting out each html file, renaming it so the file name is meaningful, and then zip then all up together into a single zip file.
Not an issue for 2 or 3 but when you are asked for diagnostics on 20 transactions it can take some time.
Does anyone know a way around this by perhaps obtaining the resulting html file uncompressed and named with the file name you specified at run time?
Regards,
Jim.

Well this is embarrasing. I've just rechecked and you're quite right, it is possible to zip 2 zip files together.
I could have sworn I've tried this before and it didn't work.
In any case thank you.

Oracle Diagnostics not allowing to enter parameter

While running Oracle diagnostics through Front End in R12 user is not able to give the parameters for WorkPlan...and getting the below error...
Invalid (tests) selected. Please change to developer mode to get more details
Anyone have any idea why its not allowing to enter the parameter and also getting the above error

hi, was wondering if you ever resolved you issue where you're getting an error message of "Invalid test(s) selected. Please change to developer mode to get more details." We just upgraded to 12.1.3 and are experiencing the same problem.
Thanks,

Oracle Diagnostics for E-Business

Hi, I am trying to get my head around the current situation for Oracle diagnostics.
My understanding is that the older Diagnostics Framework has been replaced with a proper Diagnostics Module ( IZU ) available as a responsibility within E-Biz. From 12.1.1 this module is included in the base install. Prior to that the module is still available as a patch ( depending on what version of E_Biz you are on ) but only back to a minimum version of 11.5.4 ( with pre-requisite FND and AD levels ).
Q1. For this new Diagnostics Module - does it have an accompanying Catalog of tests within the patch for the Diagnostic module itself or is the catalog supplied via a separate patch ?
Q2. My understanding therefore is that a updated test catalogs are only available with each RUP of E-Business. However can you also added individual tests to your catalog as each test itself has a patch number - is that right ?
Q3. So the only cumulative batch of tests are those supplied with each RUP, rather than cumulative patches for the catalog - is that correct ?
Q4. If you are already using the older diagnostics framework on an 11.5.X system and you wish to use the diagnostics module ( IZU ) is it simply a case of installing this module through the appropriate patch ( and readme ) ? In such a case does the IZU module then override the older diagnostics framework that was in place
Any clarity appreciated,
thanks,
Jim

Pl post details of OS, database and EBS versions.

Both - the default IZU install comes with a standard battery of tests - these tests are updated thru IZU patches. See MOS Doc 235307.1 (E-Business Suite Diagnostic Tools FAQ and Troubleshooting Guide for Release 11i and R12)

Updates to test catalogs are available as individual patches for the IZU module.

Not sure what you mean - each RUP will update the test catalog - and individual IZU patchsets will also update the test catalog.

Yes - create/enable the IZU module as per the patch README - I believe doing so will override any older diagnostics framework (which diagnostics framework is this :-) ) ?

Oracle DataGuard Logical Standby

Hi , I'd like to know what are the premisses to make a standby logical replication.
I have two environments (production and standby) with different number of processors and storage.
I'd like to know if it's possible to create data guard solution with these two environments and what are the premisses that I need aware to install the solution.
Thanks in advance.

Hello;
Yes the storage ( as long as you have enough space ) and cpu don't matter.
You can use hardware that's quite a bit different and it will work fine.
You can also create a Logical Standby fro a physical standby.
These notes may help :
NOTE 413484.1 - Data Guard Support for Heterogeneous Primary and Physical Standbys in Same Data Guard Configuration
Mixed Oracle Version support with Data Guard Redo Transport Services [ID 785347.1]
Logical Standby's don't seem to be very popular and the support base suffers because of this. I would consider a physical standby with Active Data Guard if costs allow.
Active Data Guard makes an excellent "Reader" database plus I believe your switchover and failover options are much better than a Logical Standby.

EBS R12 Oracle Diagnostics Tool

Hi All,
I'm trying to use Oracle Diagnostics Tool to know more about some errors I got while creating an account but it doesn't seem to be working.
Does any of you know if there are problems with this tool? or if maybe the problem relies on the installation of it?
Thank you,
Raul

Hi,
I'm getting the error "Invalid test(s) selected" every time I try to execute any of the possible tests on the "Oracle Diagnostics Tool".
That's why I'm not sure if the error is related to Oracle R12 or if the DBAs missed a patch or so during the installation.
I want to know about the oracle diagnostics because that will help me with future errors showing me more details about them.
Thanks.
Raul

Oracle Diagnostics Pack

I would like to install Oracle Diagnostics Pack and Oracle Tuning Pack for Oracle 8i. However, I cannot find anywhere to download the packs. Is it bundle with the Oracle 8i installation CD?

Correct. The only way to tell if you have a license to use the Diagnostic pack is to search your purchase invoices and license contracts to see what is written there.
There is nothing in the database itself that will tell you whether you are licensed to use a particular feature
However if you know the license you are using for your Oracle database is standard then you cannot be licensed for the Diagnostic pack because Oracle does not allow you to license that option with standard edition.

Is there any impact that apply Oracle CPU on standby and primary DB

We plan to apply Oracle April CPU on standby DB at this weekend. Then apply the same patch on primary DB next weekend. If I apply the patch on standby, then enable redo apply between primary and standby, is there any impact on primary DB. Theoretically, I don't think so. However, both DBs are production. I want to make sure there is no any impact by applying CPU in different time. Otherwise, I have to apply both DBs at the same time. Please advise. Thanks in advance.

I hope you read other people's post carefully. Don't pretend yourself is expert so that you can say whatever you want to say. This is the tech forum for Oracle technical people to ask question, seek help and so on. How do you know I didn't review document 278641.1 before I asked my question. Document 278641.1 only provide info on how to apply patch on primary and standby. Didn't say anything about applying the same patch on both DBs with data Guard at the different time. I just want to make sure If I apply patch on both DBs with one week difference, will this affect my primary database? Is there anything wrong here. If you paly in this forum as expert, please help people, not just look down people.
I suggest you review [url http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html]How To Ask Questions The Smart Way.
When you ask for help, state the platform, operating system, Oracle version and patch level, no matter whether it seems important to the question or not. It most often is important. You may not know the difference between Itanium and PA-RISC, but that is important for Oracle and important for someone doing administrative work on an Oracle database to know. You should also learn to search the internet for answers to common questions. Everyone here wants to help, but few want to spoon-feed.
When you have any kind of standby, that constrains what you can do to a primary, if you want the standby to work properly. You need to understand how things get from one to the other, and how to decide when to simply rebuild the standby from scratch - and that decision is based on your configuration and requirements. You don't want to be in some undefined configuration for any period of time.

ORACLE 10G RAC+STANDBY server

We have a ORACLE RAC 10G based on 2 nodes with 1 disk array for test purposes.
Now, we want to connect a standby server to RAC with its own disk array. Standby server with array will be located in another city.
How can we realize it?

Hi friend,
We have tested with the following : we have 1og RAC (10.2.0.3.0) with Single Physical Standby database :
RAC Database :
bash-3.00$ export ORACLE_SID=racdb
bash-3.00$ rman target sys/sysracdb@racdb
RMAN> connect catalog rman/rman@racdb
RMAN> backup device type disk format '/backup/rman/%U' database plus archivelog;
RMAN> backup device type disk format '/backup/rman/%U' current controlfile for standby;
Note : Transfer the backup to the standby database location.

ORACLE DATAGUARD and STANDBY on two LINUX machine (64 bits and 32 bits)

Hi there
I have two Linux machines: one with Linux RH 4 Update 2 for 64 bits and
the other one with Linux RH 4 Update 2 for 32 bits.
I was wondering two things:
1) Is it possible to implement ORACLE DATAGUARD between these two machines?
2) Is it possible to implement only a Static Standby Database on the second node?
Suppose we have Oracle Database EE on both machines.
Thanks in advance for any information
Regards
Felipe

But both oracle database version must be of 32 bit version.
from oracle doc
2.3.1 Hardware and Operating System Requirements
The following list describes hardware and operating system requirements for using Data Guard:
All members of a Data Guard configuration must run an Oracle image that is built for the same platform.
For example, this means a Data Guard configuration with a primary database on a 32-bit Linux on Intel system can have a standby database that is configured on a 32-bit Linux on Intel system. However, a primary database on a 64-bit HP-UX system can also be configured with a standby database on a 32-bit HP-UX system, as long as both servers are running 32-bit images.
