Reg: Standby Database

Hello,
In StandBy database,
Is it necessary to cancel the MANAGED RECOVERY MODE before performing the SHUTDOWN immediate option. IF yes WHY
or
instead of cancelling can i directly issue the SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE; command
Thanks,
Sunil

Reg: Exporting the data from the Physical Standby database system.

Hello all,
We have an oracle standard edition one 11gR1 environment, in which i need to export the data from the physical standby system.
So can anyone suggest me, How to do it safely (mount state).
Regards,
Konda.

Hi,
You can use "exp" utility to export the database from a read only database whereas you can't export the read only database using "expdp".
Since you are using version 11g, it is not advisable to use exp. You can convert your standby to snapshot database, open read, write and export the database using expdp and then again convert it to standby.
This is a very easy process which we follow in our company to do testing when required.
Follow note 11g Using Snapshot Standby Database. (Doc ID 443720.1) for converting and usage.
Thank you!!

Error while creating standby database for ebs prod database

Hi,
We are getting error while trying to create a standby database for EBS database by using RMAN DUPLICATE commands,
Steps followed:
1.) Backup the primary database (Ebs PROD db). This was done on 12-Mar-2012
***RMAN backups are scheduled to run @10:00 pm every night. Flash Recovery Area has been configured and backup is taken at this location
everyday.
2.) Tar the backupset, autobackup, archivelogs etc in FRA .... and copy this to the target server (STANDBY).
*** Copy(oracle rdbms binaries and FRA) completed @12:00AM on 14-Mar-2012
3.) Tried to create standby database by using RMAN duplicate on 14-Mar-2012
RMAN> rman sys/sys@PROD auxiliary /
RMAN> duplicate target database for standby dorecover nofilenamecheck;
After, some time the RMAN DUPLICATE process errors out with,
ORA-19563: header validation failed for file
We are not sure about the cause of this error. While searching in Metalink, we got several notes (ex, 352074.1) but all the causes stated for this error
are not applicable in our case. We double checked our instance to confirm this.
We have also found that in PROD database there are 65 datafiles and after the RMAN DUPLICATE errors out in the targer server (STANDBY) the RMAN managed to restore 51 datafiles before erroring out.
# Please note PROD database was also backed up on 13-Mar-2012. We have a suspicion that backup on 13-Mar may be a possible cause for this error but we are
not sure.
Need suggestions if there can be any other possible causes???
We are in a fix and it would be appreciable if we get some quick suggestions..
Regards,
Rupdipt

When opening the file to be placed in a copy or backup set, to be inspected, or used as the target for an incremental restore, its header was not recognized as a valid file header for a file of the indicated type (data file, archived log, or control file) belonging to the current database.
Kindly Ensure that the correct files are being specified for the copy or backup operation.

Creating a new schema in a Logical Standby Database

Hi All,
I am experimenting with logical standby databases for the purpose of reporting, and have not been able to create a new schema in the logical standby database - one of the key features of logical standbys.
I have setup primary and logical standby databases, and they seem to be running just fine - changes are moved from the primary to the standby and queries on the standby seem to run ok.
However, If I try to create a new schema on the logical standby, that does not exist on the primary, I get "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges" errors when I try to create new objects.
Show below are the steps I have taken to create the new schema on the logical standby. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello;
Script has to be run from auxiliary.
Great details, but what I don't see is how you connect in RMAN.
Example
Start RMAN

connected to target database: RECOVER2 (DBID=3806912436)
connected to auxiliary database: RECLONE (not mounted)Nothing in your tnsnames or listener jumps out as wrong. I copied them into my text editor and compared against my working ones.
Generally for active duplication I start the future standby on a pfile NOMOUNT.
Auxiliary Instance Initialization Parameters Needed :
DB_NAME
CONTROL_FILES
DB_BLOCK_SIZE
( add extra parameters like DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT instead of using the SET command - clean up standby spfile right after duplication )
Then start RMAN and finally run a single line duplication command.

Pl do not post duplicates - Issue in configuring Standby Database from Active database in 11g by RMAN

Logical Standby Database in NOARCHIVE Mode

Hi,
I have configured a Logical Standby Database for Reporting purposes. A Physical Standby Database is running for MAA. i.e. in case of Role Transition (switch/Failover) the Physical Stdby Db will get the role of the Primary.
The logical standby database is creating a lot of Archive Redologs files, nearly every minute. Redolog files are 50MB and there is no work done in db during the time. I'm NOT using Standby Redolog files.
Is there a need for logical standby database to be in NOARCHIVELOG mode? The Primary is definatley in ARCHIVELOG mode.
Thanks for any responses.
regards
Sahba

hi,
well there are two things to the above:-
1. there was an archive file nearly every minute:
this is due to a db recovery. for some reason, the db was in inconsistent state, after a sudden shutdownof the OS. I was on a test environment, on windows vista, unfortunately. unimportant ... a reboot solved it.
2. Logical standby db in NOARCHIVE MODE when setup for the purpose of Reporting.
As long as the MAA configured for the primary db, such as physical standby db, and a second, the logical standby db setup purely for the purpose of reporting, which then can run with NOARCHIVELOG mode, after converting the physical standby db to logical.
logical standby db uses Streams architecture, so this method brings cost, time and performance advantages to the customer.

Sahba

Error while trying to open physical standby database - (DATA GUARD)

Hi Everyone,
I have problems in opening the database of the physical standby in read- write mode/ read only mode. I have a primary server which is running on 2 node RAC and the standby on a seperate single server being used as DR. I recently got this server and my aim was to isolate the standby server from primary server and perform few test. As it has never been tested even once.
Primary Database spec: (2 Node Rac on ASM)
Oracle Version : 10.2.0.3.0
O/s : HP-UX B.11.23
Standby Database spec: (Single Node)
Oracle Version : 10.2.0.3.0

Hi all, I configured dataguard in my local system, i ve a few qsns (as i am new, ve patience)
1) scn differs wrt primary in standby (i checked, 1day difference), how to make scn same?
2)i created a table in primary, its not refelecting in standby, (below i ve pasted alertlog entries)

1) scn differs wrt primary in standby (i checked, 1day difference), how to make scn same?Please do not use IM language here, instead of "qsns" use questions.
SCN can be differ in standby and it can be behind to primary based on the backup you have restored. Of course by performing recovery you can synchronize standby with primary database. You can use incremental backups for standby using link http://www.oracle-ckpt.com/rman-incremental-backups-to-roll-forward-a-physical-standby-database-2/

ORA-27041: unable to open fileFirst check whether those files are exist in that location or not and if file names are different other than primary then rename file locations. Also check the permissions on the folder/files.

How to delete the foreign archivelogs in a Logical Standby database

How do I remove the foreign archive logs that are being sent to my logical standby database. I have files in the FRA of ASM going back weeks ago. I thought RMAN would delete them.
I am doing hot backups of the databases to FRA for both databases. Using ASM, FRA, in a Data Guard environment.
I am not backing up anything to tape yet.
The ASM FRA foreign_archivelog directory on the logical standby FRA keeps growing and nothing is get deleted when
I run the following command every day.
delete expired backup;
delete noprompt force obsolete;
Primary database RMAN settings (Not all of them)
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 9 DAYS;
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE DB_UNIQUE_NAME 'WMRTPRD' CONNECT IDENTIFIER 'WMRTPRD_CWY';
CONFIGURE DB_UNIQUE_NAME 'WMRTPRD2' CONNECT IDENTIFIER 'WMRTPRD2_CWY';
CONFIGURE DB_UNIQUE_NAME 'WMRTPRD3' CONNECT IDENTIFIER 'WMRTPRD3_DG';
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON ALL STANDBY;
Logical standby database RMAN setting (not all of them)
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 9 DAYS;
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
How do I cleanup/delete the old ASM foreign_archivelog files?

OK, the default is TRUE which is what it is now
from DBA_LOGSTDBY_PARAMETERS
LOG_AUTO_DELETE TRUE SYSTEM YES
I am not talking about deleting the Archive logs files for the Logical database that it is creating, but the Standby archive log files being sent to the Logical Database after they have been applied.
They are in the alert log as follows under RFS LogMiner: Registered logfile

How to delete archivelog with RMAN in the Primary and Standby database?

Hello,
I am working on Oracle 10gR2.
My question is :
How could I implement a automatized and secure way of:
1) Delete archivelogs on my PRIMARY server only when these logs are successfully TRANSFERED to all my standby databases?
2) Delete archivelogs on my STANDBY server only when these logs are sucessfully APPLIED to the database?
Thanks a lot for your help!

on 10G
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO [CLEAR | NONE | APPLIED ON STANDBY];

Can I rename a physical Standby database without having to recreate?

Hi all,
One of my DBA's created a new standby database yesterday. He was supposed to create the standby database with a unique name from the primary system, but he didn't. So right now, DataGuard is running and replicating, and the standby has the exact same database name as primary.
I'd like to get this configured the way we had planned, to rename the standby database to something unique. I see Metalink Doc ID 15390.1, showing how to rename a database, but I'm not sure if this is possible in the standby environment? Has anyone ever done this? Anything different that needs to be accounted for, in the physical standby DB?
I'm on 10.2.0.3, on Windows 2003.
Any help/advice is appreciated!!
Thanks,
Brad

Dear TheBlakester,
You have to write it on the spfile and bounce the database. You should also have to change the log_archive_config parameter with the new standby db_unique_name.
From the online Oracle documentation;
For example, if the DB_UNIQUE_NAME parameter has not been defined on either database, the following SQL statements might be used to assign a unique name to each database.
Execute this SQL statement on the primary database:
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_UNIQUE_NAME='CHICAGO' SCOPE=SPFILE;
Execute this SQL statement on the standby database:
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET DB_UNIQUE_NAME='BOSTON' SCOPE=SPFILE;
Step 4 Verify that the LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG database initialization parameter has been defined on the primary and standby database and that its value includes a DG_CONFIG list that includes the DB_UNIQUE_NAME of the primary and standby database.
For example, if the LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG parameter has not been defined on either database, the following SQL statement could be executed on each database to configure the LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG parameter:
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET
2> LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG='DG_CONFIG=(CHICAGO,BOSTON)';After than that it is better for you to check following items just in case;
v$archived_log
v$dataguard_status
Data Guard log file & Alert.log file.Hope That Helps.

The Oracle Solaris Cluster concepts guide has some information on which zone model to choose:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18728_01/html/821-2682/gcbkf.html#scrolltoc
When managing a Solaris zone with the HA Zones agent, the cluster basically regards the non-global zone as a blackbox.
As such you can either start the Oracle database as part of the runlevel/SMF startup of the non-global zone, or you can use the sczsh or sczsmf component and use your own scripts to start, probe and stop the Oracle database.
Usage of the standard HA Oracle data service is not supported in combination with the HA Zones agent.
If you require a more fine grained control of services running in non-global zones, why not setup a zone cluster and then having HA Oracle failover the Oracle database between non-global zones?

Can I use data guard to create a RAC standby database for a non RAC primary

Hi,
we need to RAC our production database but the normal methods will mean a long outage. It is possible to create a standby as a single node RAC database and when ready do a graceful failover to the standby database and open it for business. The next step would be to create another RAC node from this on the original server.
servers are already cluster aware, using ASM etc
Oracle 10.2

Yes, you will be able to setup RAC stnadby for a non-RAC Primary. For primary it just needs a available destination for redo shipping it doesn't matter whether it's RAC enabled or not. And ofcourse you are using 10.2 anyway only one node will be running MRP and that is too in standby mount mode.
However since you have are using You may follow below sequence.
1. Setup a new standby as RAC enabled.
2. Perform a switchover.
3. Shutdown the Old primary (which is standby now).
4. Install CRS and RDBMS on the old primary and it's new node.
5. Modify the cluster_database=TRUE and cluster_database_instances=<required number of instances>.
With above modification mount the standby database in standby mode and start MRP.
6. Introduce the database and instances to the OCR using SRVCTL add command.
7. Once you your database is synchronized with Primary do a switchover.
9. Now you can repeat step 3 to 6 on the other site too. <- if you need your secondary site to be RAC enabled too
10. Finally both the sites should be RAC enabled.
Hope this is helpful!!!
