Refresh primary db in a dataguard environment using datapump

I just built a dataguard 10.2.0.3 environment(primary/physical standby)...we need to refresh the primary database using a datapump export. Can i just go ahead and refresh it just as i would refresh a normal database?
For e.g., i would drop the users, create users, and run the datapump import. This will automatically get run on the standby as well, if i understand it properly. Has anyone done this and can confirm?
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.

Flashback in dataguard environment

Hi,
We have dataguard environment with Sun OS & Oracle 10g, 11g. Now we want to enable flashback for the primary database as well as standby database (physical standby). NO RMAN. I did manage to configure the flashback for the primary database but confusion is:
-- Do I need to configure flashback at standby or recreate standby after enabling flashback at primary site?
-- Suppose if I use flashback database to restore point and open database with resetlogs, what would be the situation at standby site? Will it be in sync with primary or after resetlogs I need to make new standby database??
-- Is there any space requirement ratio for flashback recovery partition?
Thanks,
Amit.

If you only enabled flashback on your Primary, your Standby is not affected. If you did actually a flashback database on your Primary, you need to address that on the Standby. See an example here:

Configuring rman for dataguard environment.

Hi all,
Here we have a dataguard environment with db1 as primary and db2 as physical standby database. We configured dataguard in 10g environments and we are not using grid control. Can anyone provide the steps for configuring rman for incremental backups in this environment? We want to schedule the backups to be taken in standby db, (that is applicable in case of swithover too). In the case of swithover to db2 what all do we need to do in rman manually to resume backups in db1?
Thanks

Hello;
A Standby database is a copy of the Primary so if you try to register it RMAN will probably tell you its already registered. I would start with this :
Standby based backup
1. Enable auto backup of the control file and server parameter file. CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON.
2. Skip backups on datafiles already backup. CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION.
3. Set the archive deletion policy. CONFIGURE DELETION POLICY TO NONE.
You have to decide on the exact RMAN script you want to use, but since the database is registered you can perform backup on either the Primary or the Standby as the need arises.
See "Using RMAN to Back Up and Restore Files" in "Data Guard Concepts and Administration 10g Release 2 (10.2) B14239-05"
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/rman.htm

Standby redologfile -Dataguard environment

Hi,
I have had a small confusion regarding an oracle Dataguard environment(standby database).
If i add a redo log group in my production db say "PRODDB",is the same log file will be replicate to the standby db say "STDBYDB"?
If so, based on which parameter settings/functions the redo log group switches may happen?
Kindly suggest
Regards,
mafaiz

Hello;
No , it wont create.
If you want to add Standby Redo you have to use a different method.
1. On primary defer log shipping (dynamic change)
alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2 = defer
2. On standby database cancel managed recovery
alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
3 Create the new Standby logs
ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE GROUP 4 '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/PRIMARY/redo04.log' SIZE 50M;
ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE GROUP 5 '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/PRIMARY/redo05.log' SIZE 50M;
ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE GROUP 6 '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/PRIMARY/redo06.log' SIZE 50M;
4. Enable log shipping on the Primary database
alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2 = enable scope = memory;
5. Enable managed recovery on standby database
alter database recover managed standby database using current logfile disconnect;
Test of ONLINE addition
set linesize 200
select type,member from v$logfile;
ONLINE /u01/app/oracle/oradata/PRIMARY/redo01.log
ONLINE /u01/app/oracle/oradata/PRIMARY/redo02.log
ONLINE /u01/app/oracle/oradata/PRIMARY/redo03.log
STANDBY /u01/app/oracle/oradata/PRIMARY/redo04.log
STANDBY /u01/app/oracle/oradata/PRIMARY/redo05.log
STANDBY /u01/app/oracle/oradata/PRIMARY/redo06.log
-- add ONLINE group 7
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/PRIMARY/redo07.log
alter system switch logfile;
Check of Standby system, no group 7 exists
Summary
So neither ONLINE or STANDBY logs gets added despite STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT=AUTO on both systems.

Oracle patching on Dataguard Environment

Hi,
I have to do oracle patching on my customer system having Dataguard environment.
Can someone please guide me, if i have to run installer on both primary and standby server or not ?
Is someone has done it in past, please share your experience.
Thanks,
Kanchan

In Readme they have just mentioned to refer oracle note 278641.1. When i checked that note, it says
1. In the primary disable log shipping to the standby site.
2. Shutdown the standby site and apply interim patchsets to the RDBMS binaries as per the README. This includes Patchset/Patchset Update (PSU)/Critical Patch Update (CPU). You will not be able to and do not need to run the scripts (catpatch.sql etc) against the standby rdbms itself.
3. Shutdown the primary site, apply the Patchset/PSU/CPU patch to the RDBMS binaries and patch the RDBMS itself using the instructions in the README (run catpatch/catbundle/catcpu etc).
4. Start the primary site, re-enable log shipping to the standby.
5. At the standby site restart redo apply/managed recovery and the RDBMS changes implemented in the Primary Site through catpatch/catbundle/catcpu will also be applied to the standby.
Information about Bundle patch is clear. But Applying patchset is not clear.
Do we need to run catupgrd.sql script on standby after patchset installtion ? or that will also be shipped through logs ?
and if below command is right for disabling the Log shipping from primary ?
SQL> alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2=defer scope=both sid='*'

Applying oracle patchset in oracle-dataguard environment

Hello There,
I wish to apply oracle patchset in oracle dataguard environment.
can you please let me know the steps that has to be taken on Primary & standby database?
is there any specific document for this?
DB - oracle 10.2.0.4
OS - Linxu x86_64
Best Regards
Sachin Bhatt

Hi Sachinn,
To patch primary site, you can find the detailed infirmation in readme.html, in the patch zip file. Additionally, at the standby site, In order to apply the patch;
1) stop the log shipment
2) stop the oracle related services
3) patch the Oracle
4) Startup migrate
5) execute the SQL scripts
6) start the log shipment

RMAN catalog resync in Dataguard environment

Hello,
I have a quick question regarding the resync of the recovery Catalog in a 10g Dataguard environment...
I plan to perform the backups from the physical standby side. (Backups of DB and archives).
If I want to restore/recover a datafile on the primary side, do I automatically see the backup information once i am connected to the catalog DB, or do I have to perform a "resync catalog;" statement to resync the control file of the primary side with the actual backup information from the catalog?
Thanks in advance,
Boris...

But what is the effect, if I perform this statement on the primary side? Do I loose backup information if I perform a resync of the catalog because the backups were made from standby side? If I perform all backups from standby side the control file on the primary side does not know about the backups.
I am asking because I want to know if I have to adjust the backupscripts. They perform a resync of catalog per default.
Thx, Boris..

I want to change my primary e-mail address that I use with Apple ID - help guide says Select Edit next to "Apple ID and Primary Email Address." But there is no 'edit' on that section there is on every other but not that one. Can anyone help?

I want to change my primary e-mail address that I use with Apple ID - help guide says Select Edit next to “Apple ID and Primary Email Address.” But there is no 'edit' on that section there is on every other but not that one. Can anyone help?

You can create an alias @icloud.com email address within your current account that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a). (@me.com addresses are no longer available as new addresses.) Just be aware that you cannot use an alias address later to create a new iCloud account or move it to a different account.
Also, even if you created a new iCloud account with a new ID, your existing purchases would not be lost. They are permanently tied to the original ID you used to purchase them. You can also continue to use the existing ID for the iTunes store; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.

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?

We have created two partitions in removable drive(USB). One of the partition is active and the other is hidden. We are trying to acess the hidden partition in Win PE 3.0 environment using WMI

We have created two partitions in removable drive(USB). One of the partition is active and the other is hidden. We are trying to access the hidden partition in Win PE 3.0 environment using WMI. VBScript code snippet used to detect the partitions is given
below:-

It will return the partition which is active but fails to list the partition which is hidden. The same piece of code was supported on WinPE 2.0

I am giving the complete code, may be you are able to understand better. We are using Win32_LogicalDisk to retrieves the complete information of all the drives (like C:, D:) including removable drives.

UNIX: problem running an DEV & QA environment using form/report servlets

UNIX: problem running an DEV & QA environment using form/report servlets
I am trying to setup on one server an DEV and QA environment using the Forms Servlet, Forms Listener Servlet and Report Servlet.
I think I have the Forms Servlet and Forms Listener Servlet running properly. The problem is setting up the DEV and QA environment for running reports.
For example, when in DEV environment I would like to run a report from a directory specified in the REPORTS60_PATH. This doesn't seem possible.
It might be easier if I describe my configuration first:
DEV: run all forms and reports from the directory /data/release/dev
QA: run all forms and reports from the directory /data/release/qa
---DEV & QA Settings Forms Listener Servlet:
zone.properties:
# DEV
servlet.fl60dev.code=oracle.forms.servlet.ListenerServlet
servlet.fl60dev.initArgs=EnvFile=/u01/app/oracle/product/ias/6iserver/forms60/server/dev.env
# QA
servlet.fl60qa.code=oracle.forms.servlet.ListenerServlet
servlet.fl60qa.initArgs=EnvFile=/u01/app/oracle/product/ias/6iserver/forms60/server/qa.env
---DEV & QA Settings Forms Servlet:
servlet.f60servlet.code=oracle.forms.servlet.FormsServlet
--- Settings for Reports Servlet:
servlet.RWServlet.code=oracle.reports.rwcgi.RWServlet
Custom Env files since we are using Developer 6i Patch 7
dev.env and qa.env
Here I specify FORMS60_PATH and REPORTS60_PATH,
eg: DEV -> FORMS60_PATH=/data/release/dev
REPORTS60_PATH=/data/release/dev
likewise for QA ../qa
In the formsweb.cfg file i have something like:
[dev]
serverURL=/servlet/fl60dev
form=test.fmx
[qa]
serverURL=/servlet/fl60dev
form=test2.fmx
I have tested the following and they work without problems:
1. forms listener test page, eg: http://webserver:7777/servlet/fl60dev
2. running forms from the 2 environments
eg: http://webserver:7777/servlet/f60servlet?config=dev
this runs the form in the FORMS60_PATH (/data/release/dev)
Now my problems start with Reports.
When I run a report from forms (using run_report_object) it will not run any reports
as specified in the REPORTS60_PATH
Even using this url:
http://webserver:7777/servlet/RWServlet?server=rep60&report=test.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=html&
userid=scott/tiger@test9i
It NEVER seems to pickup and use the REPORTS60_PATH. I have tried nearly everything.
I have gone throught the instructions in "Integrating Oracle9iAS Reports in Oracle9iAS Forms -
White Paper"
(http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/277282.pdf)
and Forms6i Patch 7: Oracle Forms Listner Servlet for Deployment of FOrms on the Internet
(http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/p7listenerservlet.pdf)
plus any other documents in metalink relating to forms, or report servlets. I am
totally confused, please help.
I have tried setting the REPORTS60_PATH in the following files without success:
custom.env (as specified by initArgs=EnvFile in zone.properties)
jserv.properties
in the zone.properties I have tried to set a custom env file for the report servlet:
servlet.RWServlet.code=oracle.reports.rwcgi.RWServlet
servlet.RWServlet.initArgs=EnvFile=/u01/app/oracle/product/ias/6iserver/forms60/server/dev_rep.env
NO LUCK.
The only place that I can set the REPORTS60_PATH
is in "[6iserver home]/reports60_server" file when I start the reports server (did I even
get this right - I do have to have a reports server running don't I?)
Does this meaan I have to run multiple report servers for each of my environments?
Based on all the documentation I thought that REPORTS60_PATH as specified in the files relating
to the forms servlet would be the place to specify the path.
As you will understand I am getting really fustrated with this and it seems to
me that the reports servlet configuration in 6i is really half baked and since 9i
is coming out it will never be fixed.

I am even not able to run forms servlets from two different forms60_path, Is there any configuration do you make other than what you have mentioned in this post.
I already open a TAR in this regard, I am still waiting reply from ORACLE.
Thanks,
Shaik Ather Ahmed

Can't turn off Verbose Mode after running disk defrag in minimal environment using Drive Genius 3

New to posting on here. I'm using a
Mid-2009 15in MacBook Pro
2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB memory
After running Disk Defrag in a minimal environment using Drive Genius 3 my MacBook Pro only starts up in Verbose Mode.
I've done my searching on how to turn verbose mode on and off on the web and it gets me nowhere.
Using
sudo nvram –p
in terminal shows that there is no " v" after " boot-args "
Using
sudo nvram boot-args=
to turn it off hasn't done anything.

I'm having the same issue but the solution suggested by prosoft doesn't work because that file des not exist.
Prosoft was able to help me.
First, FileVault is not reccomended and they are adding a FAQ to address that. Next, they said to trash this file:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist
and to restart. It seemed to have worked for me.
If anyone has any other suggestions then I would be grateful.
Many Thanks.
