Info on licensing issues of standby databases/Oracle Data Guard

Hi All,
Could anyone possibly give me some information on licensing issues of standby databases/Oracle Data Guard? Links to some electronic articles or journals might be useful. I am unable to find the appropriate info and need this quite urgently for my dissertation asap as my deadline is this approaching.
Thanks in advance

Paul Drake posted a reply to a similar question on the Oracle-L mailing list that pointed out that the License Agreement
http://oraclestore.oracle.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpSctDspRte.jsp?media=os_local_license_agreement&section=11365&minisite=10021&respid=22372&grp=STORE&language=US
states, in part,
"Failover: Your license for the following programs, Oracle Database (Enterprise Edition, Standard Edition or Standard Edition One) and Oracle Internet Application Server (Enterprise Edition, Standard Edition, Standard Edition One or Java Edition) includes the right to run the licensed program(s) on an unlicensed spare computer in a failover environment for up to a total of ten separate days in any given calendar year. Any use beyond the right granted in the previous sentence must be licensed separately and the same license metric must be used when licensing the program(s)."
which seems to open a bit of wiggle room depending on how the term "run" is defined. This is probably also an area where your Oracle sales rep may have a little more flexibility to negotiate

Physical Standby database Oracle 10g Standard Edition

Hello,
I open a new question about testing a standby database a because of this:
I realize that my standby database is 10g Standard and not Enterprise and not 11g.
Because for testing we plan to modify data on Standby, we are looking for some way to restore Standby to the point before testing.
So, I can't use Flashback Recovery Area for restoring my database to a certain point after testing.
In this scenario, the only way that I think is:
On Standby
- Shutdown database
- Copy by O/S all datafiles, temp files, control files and redo logs. That will be my backup before testing.
- Open database, test and modify data
- When test is finished, shutdown database
- Copy and replace by O/S all datafiles, temp files, control files and redo logs from backup place
- Open database as standby and apply all archived redo logs needed.
Would be it work without problem or should I copy other files?

it comes under Refresh of database, use --> cleanup --> restore.
If its enterprise edition , you can use procedure mentioned in this note How To Open Physical Standby For Read Write Testing and Flashback [ID 805438.1]

How to stop and cancel physical standby database (ORACLE 10g)

Dear All,
I have physical standby setup and I want stopped for the time being that to use the database as an normal DB (standalone inestance).
Kindly advise and show me how do I do that.
Regards,

executing below query on primary db stops log shipping to standby.......i think this is sufficient for disabling your physical standby setup temporary
alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2=defer scope=both;
In future if you want your dataguard setup back..............you can rebuild the standby and enable the log_archive_dest_state_2 parameter.

Confusion regarding logical standby database

While designing the logical standby database, Oracle recommends to add the supplement information in the primary database, so that the changed columns are uniquely recorded in redo log file.
In this case the amount of information in redo log files will increase,
So, redo log files will be filled on a faster basis and more archive log will be created, increasing the overhead on background proccess
Should such a trade -off be kept??

I believe Oracle does more than recommend that supplemental logging is enabled. In the Data Guard Concepts and Administration manual
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96653/create_ls.htm#1071780
"Supplemental logging must be enabled on the primary database before you create the logical standby database."
Yes, this adds to the work that the primary database has to do, but that's the trade-off you get for having a logical standby. If you don't want this extra overhead, you might consider using a physical standby.

Help with setting a 2nd Standby Database

Hi,
I have an active DataGuard 11gR2 with a physical standby actively running on Linux.
Now, I need to add a 2nd physical Standby database (for reads only) to this environment, can someone please point to a resource/document which discusses the steps which are involved?
Thanks much
-Sravan

Hello;
One option is to setup a Cascading Standby. I tested this last spring and I'm happy to share my setup notes.
www.visi.com/~mseberg/Data_Guard_Cascading_Standby_Setup_and_Test.pdf
Also worth noting if you have Active Data Guard you don't need a second Standby, ( license for active Data Guard required ).
Best Regards
mseberg
Edited by: mseberg on Nov 22, 2011 7:09 AM
For additional information see :
Data Guard Concepts and Administration
12.1.3 Configuring Both Physical and Logical Standby Databases ( Oracle document B14239-05 )
In this case you could use the Logical Standby as you "Reader" database.

Hello;
Generally for the connection to work you need to add something like this to the listener.ora file :
(SID_DESC =
    (global_dbname = STANDBY.hostname)
    (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2)
    (sid_name = STANDBY)
)You should stop and start the listener on the Standby after adding this. Also your tnsnames.ora must be correct on both the primary and the Standby.
Also you need an INIT for the Standby side :

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.

How to create physical standby database without dataguard

Can i create a standby database in oracle 10g standared edition ?

what are the steps required for creating a standby database using oracle 10g standard edition. or Any other feature for mirroring database in oracle 10g standared edition

Dear mithun,
Please read the following online documentation;
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/standby.htm
+"+
+2.3.2 Oracle Software Requirements+
+The following list describes Oracle software requirements for using Data Guard:+
+* Oracle Data Guard is available only as a feature of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition. It is not available with Oracle Database Standard Edition. This means the same release of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition must be installed on the primary database and all standby databases in a Data Guard configuration.+
+Note:+
+It is possible to simulate a standby database environment with databases running Oracle Database Standard Edition. You can do this by manually transferring archived redo log files using an operating system copy utility or using custom scripts that periodically send archived redo log files from one database to the other. The consequence is that this configuration does not provide the ease-of-use, manageability, performance, and disaster-recovery capabilities available with Data Guard.+

Hope That Helps.

Create an Object in Logical standby database in Oracle 10G

Hi,
I have logical standby database in oracle 10g R2 for reporting purpose.Now i want to create procedure in logical standby which is use to create new temp table in logical standby and contained data generated from select operation on existing table.
Can i create a new user in logical standby database,add new tablespace in logical standby which can insert,update and delete data in standby database base table?
kindly provide me the steps to implement all this.What will be effect if i set guard_Status in v$database is NONE in logical standby?
Thanks,
Shital Patel

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

StandBy database creation in oracle 10g

Respected Sir's
I have to create stand by database in oracle 10g i am working on (Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Prod) .Plz any body provide steps required for creating stand by database in oracle10g.Both the database db1 and db2 are running on archivelog.I am confuse how to set archivelog parameter that goes to db2(standby database) from db(primary database).Any one provide me steps to properly configuring the stand by database.
Thanks

Respected Sir
These are the detailed steps that i performed on standby and primary database.
On both the systems i install the oracle in E drive and the database i create in G drive and archive destination also in G drive.
Like G:\prod1\(all the datafiles,logfiles and control file).
G:\arch\(all the archive files).
ON PRIMARY DATABASE(IP:192.168.2.14):
1.First i create a database with DBCA and the database SID is prod1.
2.Put the database in archive mode and also enable the force logging.
3.Shutdown the Primary database and modify the following parameters in pfile.
log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=G:\ARCH'
log_archive_dest_2 = "service=STDBY mandatory reopen=60"
log_archive_dest_state_1 = enable
log_archive_dest_state_2 = enable
log_archive_min_succeed_dest = 2
4.Mount the primary database and create the standby controle file and create the spfile from the modified pfile.
5.Shutdown the primary database and take the backup of all the datafile,logfile,standby controlfile ,passwordfile,pfile in a folder.
6.Startup the primary database.
Tnsname.ora Configuration.
Create the connection string using the Net Manager with name STDBY and in host name i provide the IP address of the standby database.
ON STANDBY DATABASE(IP 192.168.2.9):
Listener.ora Configuration.
Create a listener using the Net configuration Assistance.
1.I copy the datafile,logfile and standby controle file in g:\prod1
2.Copy the E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\admin\prod1 folder from primary database and past it on the same location on the standby database.
3.On standby pfile i change only the standby_archive_dest parameter to g:\arch.
4.Create the service with oradim -SID -NEW prod1 -STARTMODE manuall
5.Start the standby database in nomount mode.
6.Create the spfile from pfile and shutdown the database.
7.Startup the database in nomount mode using spfile.
8.ALTER DATABASE MOUNT STANDBY DATABASE;
These are the occurs when i use tnsping stdby on primary database.

Snapshot standby database in oracle 11g r2 RAC

Folks,
i am just wondering if the process is same for standalone and RAC snapshot standby database.
We have a DR test
1 / I just converted the standalone DR on 11g to snapshot standby database for users to do some testing and reverted back to physical standby after test was done. i folllowed metalink note ID 443720.1
2/ now there is anotherDR test where we have 2 node prod and 2 node DR on oracle 11g rel2 RAC, so not sure we can follow the same process that i used for 11g standalone database. If somebody have done this on RAC, would you please provide the steps ?
