Reg upgrade of Physical Standby from 9i -10g

hi guys,I'm planning to upgrade my database from 9i 9.2.0.7-10g 10.2.0.3...along with Physical Standby Site....
I got a link for Dataguard upgrade
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/upgrades.htm
what I conluded from this links is...Just writing the high level steps
-Apply all the Archive logs on Standby
-install the Oracle Software on Primary Standby
-Upgrade the Primary
-Start the Standby with password file and spfile from the new home..and set the FAL parameters
I might be missing some steps here
but
I just wanted to make sure we actually dont upgrade the Standby as we do with Primary just installing the 10g software on Standby as well and starting the instance with spfile from 10g home with same set of datafies....is considered to be the upgrade.......of Standby database????????looks too simple
Thanx

You could certainly reinstall Apex to make sure that Apex-related packages and procedures are re-granted properly, but that still won't solve the other cases where specific non-Apex-related packages were granted but became "ungranted" after the upgrade. I'm not involved with DB upgrades myself, so the whole procedure is a bit "black box" to me, so I don't know if packages that were granted become revoked on an upgrade. Talk to you DBA about the DB upgrade and find out what packages were granted by default.
but we may get other errors down the line because of other privileges that are still missing...Probably, and depending on the exact 10g version you installed, there are other DB bugs that will mess with Apex. Was this upgrade done on a test instance first or just production? In either case, run through all your applications and see if anything else breaks. If possible (and appropriate) notify your users that an upgrade occurred and that you've tried to resolve any problems but some might be hiding out there. It's not bad to be cautious--we tend to run things the other way and upgrade overnight, do a few checks to see that nothing is 100% broken and come in the next morning to all kinds of fun errors the users found.

Physical Standby from Logical Standby

Is it possible this scenario?
Create a physical standby from logical standby and the physical receive archive from logical.
I mean,
Primary (10g production) -> Logical (11gr2 new server 1) -> (Physical 11gr2 new server 2)
The goal of this scenario is a migration with a short downtime.
O.S. aix 6.1
11.2.0.2

Is it possible this scenario?YES

Cascading physical standby from another physical standby for primary rac

my supplier told me that is possible mount a cascade physical standby from a physical standby for my rac installation.
but according the note "409013.1" seems not:
"Cascading a logical or physical standby database from a physical standby database is supported as long as the primary database is not a RAC database and is not part of a Data Guard Broker configuration - the support status of this configuration is unchanged from previous documentation."
before was possible? do you know why not now?
has anyone mounted? can I allow my provider to mount?
oracle version: 10.2.0.2.0

Is it possible this scenario?YES

Upgrade PHYSICAL STANDBY database to 10g from 9i

Hello everybody,
Please can you provide me the details for Manual upgrading 9i STANDBY database to 10g. Any special parameters that we have to set on the Primary database..
Any sites with the information available would be great.
Thanks everybody for your help.

There is no in-place upgrade process to move from 9i to 10g. You have to upgrade your primary and then reinstantiate your standby (using Oracle10g). You may like to keep your 9i standby in tact until your upgrade of 9i primary to 10g is completely successful.....just to ensure that you have a fast, easy and reliable fall-back plan.
Thanks

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]

10204 Upgrade with Physical Standby Steps

Hi.
I am upgrading from 10204 with a Physical Standby this weekend. Doc 278641.1 mentions the only the Patchset and Interim patching and not the CPU. Should I break out the CPU patching into its own activity or can I do it at the same time as the Patchset and Interim patching? I would like to get all 3 done during the same downtime. Thanks for the help.
RCP

Welcome to the forums !
You can apply the CPU patches after the upgrade is complete - however, I recommend that you do this in a non-production environment first to make sure that there are no unexpected effects :-)

My Production db 11G R1 os was crashed so I had to trigger failover at my physical standby (New Primary).
I recreated Crashed Primary as Standby from New Primary mentioned above with Hot backup
Now question is that I have successfully Switched to my old primary (Crashed one) but the New Primary crashed (old Standby).
I have tried rman duplicate it restores my datafiles but THE Number of LOG MEMBERS IS NOT the same as in Primary.

it shows

It is not problem.
Online redo members of groups or group count, may be is different primary and standby databases.
If you want learn which member is which group, the try below script.
select member, group# from v$logfile;
{coide}
I think there have 2 member every log group.
Every standby redo log group heve only one member, It is recommended.

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.

Question-Recovering tablespace in physical Standby...Oracle 10g?

Hello:
I have an interesting issue. I thought I will ask the group.
I have a physical standby database in 10g. Once of the datafile is in inconsistent state due to a crashed DB during recovery from the last time around.
I do not have any archivelogs, either on standby or primary .. Unfortunately.
However, the primary database is alive and well.
How do I recover my datafile selectively? Is a complete restore/recreation of the standby is the only option?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Physical Standby Upgrade?

I recently upgraded the primary database running in the MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE mode.
How do i upgrade the physical standby? The database is upgraded from 9208 to 10205.

Install 10205 and build a new standby database under this environment.
I hope the following would have been the best method for upgrading standby along with primary
1.Review and perform the steps listed in the "Preparing to Upgrade" chapter of the Oracle Database Upgrade Guide.
2.Shut down the primary database.
3.Shut down the physical standby database.
4.Install the new release of the Oracle software into a new Oracle home on the physical standby database system, as described in the Oracle Database Upgrade Guide.
5.Mount the physical standby database.
6.Start Redo Apply on the physical standby database.
7.Install the new release of the Oracle software into a new Oracle home on the primary database system as described in the Oracle Database Upgrade Guide.
8.Upgrade the primary database as described in the Oracle Database Upgrade Guide. Note that the physical standby database will be upgraded when it applies the redo generated by the primary database as it is upgraded.
9.Open the upgraded primary database.

Jobs in a physical standby??

Hi!
I have been looking for any post for info, baut i didn't find anything.
Do you know if the jobs created in the primary database are in the physical standby?? i don't know whow i can see they, because the dba_job table doesn't works in a physical standby, because the database is mounted not open.
thanks a lot!

You can open a physical standby database in 10g for example in read-only mode using:
alter database open;
while it's mounted.
then select from dba_jobs to verify
and then revert to redo apply mode usig something like:
alter database recover managed standby database nodelay;
Check the docs for more info.

DG physical standby 1

Hi
11.2.0.1
We have a DEV database which is also as critical as PROD db since there are lots of critical projects running on it.
This DEV database was configured with dataguard physical standby at the DR server.
Well this is what I read in the documents only, as I am newly taking over as dba. The setup was done outsourced
by 3rd party, and I can not talk to the implentors as they have been long gone.
When I check the DR server only the PROD is running and the DEV was shutdown for the last 12 months.
My question is if the physical standby is shutdown for almost a year, can it still be activated? or will it still be valid?
Will it affect performance of the Primary database? since it might still checking heartbeat to it? or holding up some processes like archivers?
How do you disable physical standby from the primary db?
Thanks
petra k.

Hello;
"if the physical standby is shutdown for almost a year, can it still be activated? or will it still be valid?"
No and no. Even a tiny production database would have generated and remove too much archive in a years time for the old standby to have ANY value. Rebuild it.
How do you disable physical standby from the primary db?
You could just do this: ( On the primary side )
alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2=defer;
And you could clean up all the parameters for DG too.

Upgrading from 10.2 to 11.2 using Physical Standby

Hi
We have a 10GR2 EE database in a RAC cluster and we want to upgrade the 10GR2 database to 11GR2 non-RAC on a different server.
We'd prefer to do this using a Physical Standby to avoid down time as much as possible.
Any suggestions as to the best way to do this?
Thanks

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!!
