Problem when create standby database

hello,
I have two server(NT4.0,SP6) installed Oracle 8i(8.1.6 Enterprise) at the same directory.I want one as the primary database,another one as the standby database.
The two database have the same SID,use SQL*Plus it can access each other.
My operating steps as below:
1.on primary server:
1)connect internal;
2)shutdown immediate;
3)copy all datafiles(*.DBF) to a backup directory;
4)startup
5)alter database create standby controlfile as 'd:\oracle\ora81\ILLDB\standby.ctl'
6)alter system archive log current
2.on standby server:
1)copy all backuped datafile,standby.ctl,all redo log files from primary server to standby server,overwrite all same name files;
2)modify the init.ora,add this parameter:
"standby_archive_dest = "location=D:\Oracle\oradata\ILLDB\archive" ";
3)statup oracle service in Service control manel;
4)run svrmgrl.exe;
5)startup nomount;
6)alter database mount standby database;
then a error message appear:
"ORA-01665 controlfile is not a standby controlfile".
I don't know which step is mistake.Please tell me correct steps.
Thanks

I did face the similar problem while trying to create and startup a clone database for Point in Time Recovery (PITR). The error message is
ORA-01696 controlfile is not a clone controlfile
Are you folks have any idea how do I resolve this problem?? Is there any way to create clone control file??

  • The Critical Problems for Creating Standby Database

    The Critical Problems for Creating Standby Database:(I want to create a physical standby database on the same system of the primary database)
    1. Should I copy all the backup datafiles, standby controlfile and password file to a same directory before the first time to mount the standby database?
    2. Before mounting the standby database, Should I change the datafile's name to a new one in the standby controlfile? How to change them?
    3. When issuing the command to mount the standby database, should I specify the controlfile's name.(using which controlfile to mount)
    These problems are not clearly secified in Oracle documentations.

    Can you point us to the Windows specific documentation you refer to?
    The parameter DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT should take care of the new mapping for your datafiles (and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT for logs), so you should be able to put them where you want and use the parameter to point Oracle to the correct location. You should not need to change the name in the controlfile.
    Place your standby controlfiles where you have the control files defined in your parameter file and Oracle should recofgnise that it is a standby db. You should not need to specify which controlfiles to use (if this is even possible), your CONTROL_FILES init parameter points to them.
    Not sure about the password file....my instances are on separate boxes and the password file has the same name on both primary and standby.

  • Problem when creating 8i database on RH6.0

    my machine is oracle 8i on REdhat 6.0
    and when I use script to create database
    it is said some views ,some tables and synonym do not exist
    then drop them
    Will the database work well in future?

    Dont't worry about that. Before you
    create a table(or view), it is wise to
    drop the table(or view) with the same name.
    If the name doesn't exist, of course there
    is an error message. See the following script:
    -------------------begin-----------
    drop table students cascade constraints;
    create table students (
    sid varchar2(5),
    fname varchar2(20),
    lname varchar2(20) not null,
    minit char,
    primary key (sid));

  • Creating standby database using RMAN

    When I'm creating standby database with RMAN command
    'duplicate for standby' backups for creating standby database
    have to be accessible from host where standby database
    is created. I can copy the backups to standby host, or use
    NFS to share the disk with backups to standby host.
    But when I have backups in ASM diskgroup how can
    I achieve it would be accessible from standby host?
    Thanks a lot for advice,
    M.

    OK, thanks,
    I will create standby using Grid, but I have the following problem:
    database instance is running on the host where I want
    to create standby database. The running instance is for
    testing purposes and has the same db_name, db_unique_name, db_domain
    parameters as in primary database.
    I will change db_unique_name to be distinct from primary database one,
    should I also change instance SID not to be the same in
    testing database and standby on the same host, or when creating standby
    database I can specify distinct one for standby database?

    Use the following SQL commands on the standby database to create
    standby redo logfiles that match the primary database:

  • Problem when creating Database (Database, OS and hardware Configuraiton included)

    Problem when creating Database:
    Below are the problems, which I faced during creation of database. I have mentioned both the problem separately. Plus the log file maintained by Oracle during installation. It might help in diagnosing the error. Plus a little conclusion with I turned up to.
    There are two problems, when creating database with Oracle Database Assistant. One when creating pre tuned database from CD. And second when creating customized database giving options your self.
    Problem # 1:
    When creating pre tuned database from CD. The process of creating Database is 90 % complete and is at step # 3 Initializing Database. It gives error ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel.
    I searched following oracle help for this problem.
    ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
    Cause: An unexpected end-of-file was processed on the communication channel. The problem could not be handled by the Net8, two-task software. This message could occur if the shadow two-task process associated with a Net8 connect has terminated abnormally, or if there is a physical failure of the interprocess communication vehicle, that is, the network or server machine went down.
    Action: If this message occurs during a connection attempt, check the setup files for the appropriate Net8 driver and confirm Net8 software is correctly installed on the server. If the message occurs after a connection is well established, and the error is not due to a physical failure, check if a trace file was generated on the server at failure time. Existence of a trace file may suggest an Oracle internal error that requires the assistance of customer support.
    Conclusion:
    What I conceive from this problem and the help available is that, I have to install NET8 again. But I am not sure about the solution, please tell me whether I am rite or not.
    Problem # 2:
    When creating database with custom option. The process of creating Database is 2 % complete and is at step # 2 Creating Database Files. It gives error ORA-12571: TNS:packet writer failure.
    I searched following oracle help for this problem.
    ORA-12571: TNS:packet writer failure
    Cause: An error occurred during a data send.
    Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the operation. If error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.
    Conclusion:
    What I conceive from this problem and the help available is that, I have to install NET8 again. But I am not sure about the solution, please tell me whether I am rite or not.

    "The data guard configuration has been created in a disabled state. It must be enabled using the Enable option in the configuration menu. Pior to ebaling the configuration, please verify the following:
    The Primary database contains temporary datafiles. The files will not be duplicated in the new standby database. You must manually recreate the temporary files on the standby node by adding them to their respective tablespaces in the standby database after creation process in complete."
    The problem is, in the standby database, how do I add tempfile without open the standby database? the documentation is very unclear...

    Thanks for the reply and the useful link. I had followed the instructions when creating the standby database, although under database options there is a difference between the OEM version we are using and the version shown, whereby the 'RMAN backup location' option has been replaced with 'working directory location'.
    Just found the following and am guessing this is the issue.
    NFS mounts established within a zone are local to that zone. The mounts cannot be accessed from other zones, including the global zone.
    I suspect I will need to copy the backup pieces onto the local server in order to create the standby database using OEM. Not something I was expecting to have to do as copying will take a long time due to the size of the backup, but unless anyone else can shed any light on the reason for the initial error
    RMAN Backup Location - The specified RMAN backup is invalid. Could not identify controlfile from the backup
    then I guess this is the only way forward.

  • SSMS crash when creating new database diagram

    For several years I have been unable to create database diagrams from within SSMS.  I have tried every combination of VS2005, VS2008, VS2012 and VS2013 with every combination of SQL2005, SQL2008, SQL2012 and SQL2014.
    I have installed, uninstalled, and repaired many dozens of times.  I am currently using VS2013 ultimate with SQL2014 express.
    I have tried every related 'workaround' that I can find on the internet.  Still the problem persists.
    Any help would be deeply appreciated.
    Here are the relevant details with file versions:
    In SSMS, I right-click on a database and choose New Database Diagram.  A Blank diagram window appears with the SSMS error dialog:

  • Creating standby database

    Hi
    I want create standby database in Oracle 10g.
    I can create standart database by using database configuration assistant.
    How can I create standby database in Oracle 10g?

    Hi,
    Standby databases, in a nutshell, acts as a failover for our mission critical production databases. When production database crashes, applications can quickly switchover to the stand by databases.
    What type of Standy you are willing to go for ??
    Physical Standby Database
    Standby database is called “physical” if the physical structure of stand by exactly matches with stand by structure. Archived redo log transferred from primary database will be directly applied to the stand by database.
    Logical Standby Database
    Stand by database is called “logical”, the physical structure of both
    databases do not match and from the archived redo log we create SQL statements then these statements will be applied to stand by database.
    Follow this link for creating standby database

  • How to apply Oracle patch when physical standby database in place

    Dear All,
    I want to apply Oracle patchset 8 on 10.2.0.5 when physical standby database in place. What are the steps for Primary site and for standby site.
    Thanks in advance
    Kamran Laeeq

    Hi Kamran,
    You will not upgrade or patch the standby database by importing offline redologs. On the contrary, there is a procedure to do this. Please note that you will not transitiate the role from standby to primary or startup the database. You will just startup the database by executing "startup mount" and "startup upgrade", during the upgrade. It means that you will not change database role standby to primary and you will be able to continue to the log shipment after the respective upgrade.
    But, it is very important that you should stop the log shipment and apply all the offline redologs, before the upgrade. Technically, you can import offline redologs after the upgrade, by changing "compatibility" parameter in oracle, but regarding to my experiences it may cause some problems after you transitiate the role from standby to primary.
    In short;
    In order to stop log shipment, at the primary site;
    alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2=defer;
    In order to import all the offline redologs without a delay, at the standby site;
    alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
    alter database recover managed standby database nodelay disconnect from session;
    I hope that I clarified the issue,
    Best regards,
    Orkun Gedik
