Physical standby database, dblinks derived frn schemas help

I observed that many of the procedure,function,trigger of the database using dblinks which are derived from two schemas within the same database (i.e. eg: DBlink "CIS_TO_HIS" created in CISPROD schema connecting HISPROD schema of the same database). Now Oracle doesn't recommend this type of coding as a suitable.
But I am more concerned about implementing the same code over data guard in Physical standby database as it will be in read only mode and will have different TNS names entry. Therefore since database link uses TNS entry and physical standby would be using a separate TNS entry from primary, this might be a risk of transaction using those dblinks will fail. Hence can you please let me know the risk areas in physical standby of using dblink within same database?

The best solution for you is to stop using DB links between different DB schemas in the same DB.
If you do not use RAC, one workaround would be to use the loopback IP (127.0.0.1) to define your TNS connection over.
<Your DB>=
(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)
(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = <Your DB>)))That way, if you hit the production server, the TNS will lead you to the production DB, and if you hit the standby server, you’ll go to the standby DB.
You would need to create another TNS entry for the production DB on the standby server and use it for standby replication.
Since this change might affect production operation and failover abilities, you need to thoroughly test it.

Need help on Physical standby database

Currently our physical standby database is running in manual mode and logs are applied by me manually delay of 2 days.
And also when I add a data file in the primary database ,I've to manually add the file again on the standby .
This process is becoming too laborious, now I want to automate this process,
Now my question is
For automating this process ,do I need to bounce the database ?
I want to have 2 days gap for archive log apply process? How should I do that.
And what all parameters I need to change.
Please advice....

Physical standby database implementation

Hi!
I am trying to implement a Physical standby database, I have already done it with both the primary and secondary in the same server and successfully shipped the logs and have it configured using Data Guard.
But Now I am trying to implement the Physical standby in a separate server, but the logs are not getting shipped, I am using Oracle 9i Enterprise edition. I have checked all the steps, but not able to find the reason, why the logs are not getting shipped to the standby.
Also I am not able to discover the Primary node from the Standby and I have Windows 2003 server in my standby and Windows XP Prof. in the Primary, Is this the reason, why my logs are not getting shipped?
Please help. Thanks in Advance.

Bringing a Physical Standby database online without (a) tablespace(s)

Dear all,
Is it possible to create a kind of "dblink" in a physical standby database residing in a remote host (another host than the primary production database)? We want to make this standby DB to be online without one tablespace.
Our database consists of 2 parts: a core part (around 55 Gb) - stored in 2 tablespaces, residing in one mounted disk - and an "attachment" part (around 550 Gb) - stored in one tablespace, residing in 2 mounted disks. The attachment part is of less importance. We would like to make a standby DB for the core part and exclude the attachment part (because of its extensive size) to be online.
Currently we can not put this physical standby DB online, since it requires the attachment datafiles to be available.
Would it be a problem if we NFS mount these 2 disks on the host where the standby database resides?
The best solution would be if we can tell the standby DB that there is no need to update the attachment tablespace.
Thanx a lot for anyone reading, thinking and most of all give the solution for my problem...
Agape
Thanx in advance.

Hi Sybrand,
Since we only will use the standby DB in read only mode, maybe the use of a Logical one will be usefull afterall.
Can you please explain how to configure this need (having a standby DB without this one large TB) in a Logical standby DB?
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thanx

Dear user13295317,
Here is the error explanation;
Oracle Error :: TNS-12533
TNS:illegal ADDRESS parameters
Cause
An illegal set of protocol adapter parameters was specified.
In some cases, this error is returned when a connection cannot be made to the protocol transport.
Action
Verify that the destination can be reached using the specified protocol.
Check the parameters within the ADDRESS section of TNSNAMES.ORA.
Legal ADDRESS parameter formats may be found in the Oracle operating system specific documentation for your platform.
Protocols that resolve names at the transport layer (such as DECnet object names) are vulnerable to this error if not properly configured or names are misspelled.Hope That Helps.

Problem creating physical Standby database with RMAN

Hi All
I am trying to learn oracle dataguard and as part of the process learning creating standby database.
Platform : Sun-Fire-V250 Sparc, Solaris 10
Database Version - Oracle 11R2
I am creating standby database on same server, so directory structure is different.
Following the instructions on Oracle site I managed to create a functional physical standby database. But I am not able to create standby database using RMAN. These are the steps that I followed-
1.Set up all necessary parameters on primary database as done while creating physical standby database manually, eg setting force logging, creating standby logs etc.
2.Edited parameter file on primary database as done while creating manual pysical standby database creation. Some of the changes done are-
On Primary Database:
*.FAL_CLIENT='orcl11020' #Primary database unique name
*.FAL_SERVER='stdby_11' #Standby database unique name
db_file_name_convert='/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11','/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020'
log_file_name_convert='/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11','/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020','/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11/redo_mem','/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020/redo_mem'
standby_file_management=auto
*.log_archive_config='DG_CONFIG=(orcl11020,stdby_11)'
*.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=/<dir>/flash_recovery_area/ORCL11020/archivelog
VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES) db_unique_name=orcl11020'
*.log_archive_dest_2='SERVICE=stdby_11 LGWR ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) db_unique_name=stdby_11'
*.LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_1='ENABLE'
*.LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2='ENABLE'
*.LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT='%t_%s_%r.arc'
*.LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES=30
Copied same pfile for standby database and modified following-
*.control_files='/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11/stdby_11.ctl','/<dir>/fra_stdby/stdby_11/stdby_11.ctl'
*.db_name='orcl1102'
*.db_unique_name='stdby_11'
*.FAL_CLIENT='stdby_11'
*.FAL_SERVER='orcl11020'
db_file_name_convert='/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020','/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11'
log_file_name_convert='/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020','/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11','/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020/redo_mem','/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11/redo_mem'
standby_file_management=auto
*.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=/<dir>/fra_stdby/STDBY_11/archivelog
VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES) db_unique_name=stdby_11'
*.log_archive_dest_2='SERVICE=orcl11020 LGWR ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE)
db_unique_name=orcl11020'
3. Add relevant information in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files and then restart listener.
3. Created password file with same credential as primary database.
4.Up-to-date RMAN backup of primary database available.
5.Create standby controlfile with rman
While primary database s open (I tried with primary database in mount mode as well)-
$>rman catalog rman/paswd@rman target /
RMAN> BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE FOR STANDBY;
6. Open a new terminal and startup standby database in nomount mode using parameter file created -
$>ORACLE_SID=stdby_11
$>export ORACLE_SID
$>sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL>STARTUP NOMOUNT pfile='<location/initfilename.ora'
SQL>quit
$> rman AUXILIARY / target sys/passwd@orcl11020 catalog rman/passwd@rman
RMAN>DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE FOR STANDBY DORECOVER;
RMAN finishes without error but archive logs are not being tranported. Looking at the log, following caught my eye-
Error 1017 received logging on to the standby
Check that the primary and standby are using a password file
and remote_login_passwordfile is set to SHARED or EXCLUSIVE,
and that the SYS password is same in the password files.
returning error ORA-16191
FAL[client, ARC2]: Error 16191 connecting to orcl11020 for fetching gap sequence
Errors in file /<>dir>/diag/rdbms/stdby_11/stdby_11/trace/stdby_11_arc2_24321.trc:
ORA-16191: Primary log shipping client not logged on standby
Errors in file /<dir>/diag/rdbms/stdby_11/stdby_11/trace/stdby_11_arc2_24321.trc:
ORA-16191: Primary log shipping client not logged on standby
So on both primary and standby I confirmed
SQL> show parameter remote_login_passwordfile
NAME TYPE VALUE
remote_login_passwordfile string EXCLUSIVE
To make double sure that password files are same, I shutdown both databases, delete password files and recreated with same credentials.
Password files are called - orapworcl11020 and orapwstdby_11
Can someone guide me where thisngs are going wrong here please.

Not sure if I understood it clearly.
SELECT * FROM V$ARCHIVE_GAP;
returns no rows so there is no gap.
But could you please explain me the result of the previous query. To catch up again, on standby when I check
SELECT SEQUENCE#,APPLIED FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG
SEQUENCE# APPLIED
75 NO
74 NO
76 NO
77 NO
I understand that though archive files have been copied across but they are not applied yet.
On primary when I give your query -
SELECT name as STANDBY,SEQUENCE#,applied, completion_time
2 FROM v$archived_log
3 where dest_id=2
4 and sequence# BETWEEN 74 and 80;
I get -
STANDBY SEQUENCE# APPLIED COMPLETIO
stdby_11 74 YES 28-JUN-11
stdby_11 75 YES 28-JUN-11
stdby_11 76 YES 29-JUN-11
stdby_11 77 YES 29-JUN-11
stdby_11 78 YES 29-JUN-11
stdby_11 79 YES 29-JUN-11
stdby_11 80 YES 29-JUN-11
stdby_11 75 NO 07-JUL-11
stdby_11 74 NO 07-JUL-11
stdby_11 76 NO 07-JUL-11
stdby_11 77 NO 07-JUL-11
stdby_11 78 NO 07-JUL-11
I have intentionally given
sequence# BETWEEN 74 and 80
because I know in the current incarnaion of the database, max sequence is 78.
So my understanding is, the rows between 28-29 June are from previous incarnation, correct me if I am wrong
Archive files of the current incarnation, since I successfully created standby database are shipped but yet to be applied - am I right?
Then my final question is, when will these archives be applied to standby database?
I am sorry to ask too many questions but I am just trying to understand how it all works.
Thanks for your help again

Issue on physical standby database

Hi
I've a problem on standby database.
I recently added a datafile on primary database, then I scp'ed the data file to physical standby database.On physical standby database I tried performing recovery.
I get following message in my alert log
WARNING! Recovering data file 88 from a fuzzy file. If not the current file
it might be an online backup taken without entering the begin backup command.
ORA-279 signalled during: ALTER DATABASE RECOVER standby database ...
how can I fix this now.
We keep physical standby database 2 day behind, and apply logs manually.
Physical standby database is maintained manually.
Could someone help me in getting out of this problem.

Versus keeping it in manual mode, you can specify a time "delay" for the application of the logs:
From http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/log_apply.htm#i1022811
6.2.2 Specifying a Time Delay for the Application of Archived Redo Log Files
In some cases, you may want to create a time lag between the time when redo data is received from the primary site and when it is applied to the standby database. You can specify a time interval (in minutes) to protect against the application of corrupted or erroneous data to the standby database. When you set a DELAY interval, it does not delay the transport of the redo data to the standby database. Instead, the time lag you specify begins when the redo data is completely archived at the standby destination.
Note:
If you define a delay for a destination that has real-time apply enabled, the delay is ignored.
Specifying a Time Delay
You can set a time delay on primary and standby databases using the DELAY=minutes attribute of the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameter to delay applying archived redo log files to the standby database. By default, there is no time delay. If you specify the DELAY attribute without specifying a value, then the default delay interval is 30 minutes.
Canceling a Time Delay
You can cancel a specified delay interval as follows:
For physical standby databases, use the NODELAY keyword of the RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE clause:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE NODELAY;
For logical standby databases, specify the following SQL statement:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE START LOGICAL STANDBY APPLY NODELAY;
These commands result in log apply services immediately beginning to apply archived redo log files to the standby database, before the time interval expires. Also, see:
Section 12.8, "Using a Physical Standby Database with a Time Lag"
Oracle Database SQL Reference for the DELAY attribute of the ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE statement

Starting Physically Standby Database in Mount Mode

Hi All
I have configured Data Guard using Oracle 10g 10.2.0.4.0 (64 bits) on Windows 2008 Server (64 bits) Release 2 Enterprise.
Data guard configuration was OK as the message from "Enable Configuration DG1" was "SUCCESS" for both
Primary and Standby Database. I have also set both Databases and TNS to start Automatically whenever Windows Starts.
The Problem is as long as the Standby Server is running, there is No issue.
But when we Restarts the Backup Server, Physically Standby Database is Started and TNS is also Started,
but Archives are not received until I physically do the following steps so that it can received the Archives.
SQL> startup nomount;
SQL> alter database mount standby database;
SQL> alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
Is there a way to start Physically Standby Database in Mount mode when windows started.

Physical Standby database Vs. Logical Standby database

I have few questions regarding capability of Logical Standby Database against Physical Standby database.
1. How efficient is Logical Standby database in terms of Physical Standby Database?? How both differ from each other and can I use Logical Standby Database for disaster Recovery?? Can It be use for recovering the failed Primary Instance?? If yes how efficient and reliable it is??
2. What are the known bugs and roadblocks for logical standby database on Oracle 10.2.0.1 on Soalris X86-64?
3.As logical standby database not going to replicate each and every schema of Primary database?? how is the change management effects to the logical standby from primary?? I mean there are some parameters and job that we create on primary how can it be transferred over to the logical standby??

Physical standby is just the old, tried and true application of archived logs to recover a database. Very solid, very old school.
Logical standby, on the other hand, is parsing the redo log, extracting logical change records, and applying them to the standby database. This obviously takes a bit more processing effort, it's newer technology, it doesn't have quite the level of support that physical standby does (i.e. certain data types are excluded), etc. You certainly can use it for failover, but it isn't quite as robust as a physical standby. Of course, this is getting better and better all the time and is definitely a focus of Oracle's development efforts.
On the other hand, logical standby systems can do things other than act as a warm standby. They can be open serving reports, for example. You can create additional structures (i.e. new materialized views) to support reporting. A physical standby is pretty much always going to be in managed recovery mode, so it cannot be queried.

X86-64?a) You'll want to do a Metalink search
b) If you're talking about a high-availability solution, why are you looking at a base release of the database? Why wouldn't you apply the latest patchset?
3.As logical standby database not going to replicate
each and every schema of Primary database?? how is
the change management effects to the logical standby
from primary?? I mean there are some parameters and
job that we create on primary how can it be
transferred over to the logical standby??I'm not sure I understand... Changes made to the primary generate redo. Oracle parses that redo, generates a LCR, and sends that to the standby database where that change record gets applied.

How to make a physical standby database in the read_only state in 11g?

In 10g, we can make a physical standby database in the read_only state. But in 11g, no a read_only state for a physical standby database. How to make a physical standby database in the read_only state in 11g?

Hi
read-only mode (for 11g physical standby)
A mode in which a database can be opened that allows queries, but disallows modifications.
A physical standby database can be opened read-only so that queries may be performed. If a license for the Oracle Active Data Guard option has been purchased, a physical satndby database can be open while redo apply is active. This capability is known as Real-time Query.
For more details have a look at:

Will logical standby database be replaced by physical standby database?

Will logical standby database be deprecated or replaced by physical standby database because of Real Time Query?
As far as I know, because of the emergence of Real Time Query, physiacl standby database is easier to work than logical standby database. There are so many restrictions on using logical standby database.
Will logical standby database be deprecated in the future?

Good question - you are right that with the advent of Real Time Query, physical standby databases can provide the 'reporting database' functionality that you used to have to use a logical standby database for.
But remember that logical standby databases allow additional schema objects, like materialized views and indexes, that you can't have with a physical standby (for the reasons Hans mentions). For example, you could have a index-light primary database for OLTP style workload, and an index-heavy logical standby, with MVs and dimensions for reporting, DW, etc.
For this reason I don't expect logical standby will become deprecated.

What credential is defined?
Fairly certain only a sysdba connection will work unless the recovery is stopped and switched to read-only. Or when it becomes primary ...

Related to recovery in Physical standby database in RAC

In Physical Standby database all instance involved in recovery processes or any one instance will be their in in recovery mode
If is like this another instance will be for high availabily can any one in forum explain me it will be help full

With your Primary database being RAC, the Physical Standby does not have to be RAC, although, obviously it would be preferred to have scalability as required at a DR site.
Whether your Standby is RAC or non-RAC, the automatic Recovery that is done at the Standby is done by one instance only. It would be applying the ArchiveLogs from all the threads (i.e. instances) of the Primary.
Database Recovery is always done by a single instance.
