Check for parameter mismatches between parameter file and control file.
Check your parameter file. Check db_name paramter in paramter file used in the standby database.

Look likes , you setup standby on same machine , try init.ora parameter LOCK_NAME_SPACE. Also make sure you use standby control file for standby database.

Use standby-database as standby-database after creating primary database

First I will tell what we have and what I did.
We have a standby database on server B that was not started. We did a cold copy to server A and opened the database on server A as primary database. Now we wonder if we can use the standby database on server B to apply archives without creating a new copy to server B. The standby database on server B is waiting for sequence 2900, while the database on server A started with a new sequence.
Is it possible somehow to start the recovery again on the standby databsae on server B without creating a new copy?
Forgot to mention: db-version is 9.2.0.7.0, OS is SunOS 5.10

Writing seperate code is not needed, Oracle will copy the files if the log_archive_dest is set to the right value.
However, it is solved!
What I did:
- create standby controlfile on the primary
- copy standby controlfile to standby database
- on standby: startup nomount / alter database mount standby database
- on primary: set log_archive_dest_2 to trigger the copying of archivelogs to the standby
Right now the standby database is recovering.

What is the Use of "Alter database activate standby database"

Hi ,
I appreciate your time.
I just wanted to know what is the use of "Alter database activate standby database" command when doing the failover. How different it will act in failover process. Can we use this command in SwitchOver.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Uwe Hesse,
Wonderfull... good info....
So my understanding is that the use of "ACTIVATE PHYSICAL STANDBY DATABASE" is conditional and depends on the redo log gap and the Database status(Able to mount or not).
Condition 1: If the Db is in Mount state and Redo log gap is successfully filled.
1) Flush any unsent redo from the primary database to the target standby database.
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM FLUSH REDO TO target_db_name;
Note: If the above Statement Completes successfully without any errors.
2) Stop Redo Apply.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;
3) Finish applying all received redo data.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE FINISH;
4) Verify that the target standby database is ready to become a primary database.
SQL> SELECT SWITCHOVER_STATUS FROM V$DATABASE;
5) Switch the physical standby database to the primary role.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PRIMARY WITH SESSION SHUTDOWN;
Condition 2: If the DB is not able Mount and Redo Gap can't be filled.
Important Note: If the the above command in STEP3 gives error, some received redo data was not applied. Try to resolve the cause of the error and re-issue the statement before proceeding.
If the error condition cannot be resolved, a failover can still be performed (with some data loss) by issuing the following SQL statement on the target standby database:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE ACTIVATE PHYSICAL STANDBY DATABASE;
Thanks in advance.

How to get the date of the last transaction in a mounted standby database?

Hello,
Could you tell me how to get the date of the last transaction recorded in a MOUNTED standby database?
The following query doesn't work...because the database is not open...
select scn_to_timestamp(current_scn) from v$database;
Thanks

Hi,
You should be able to run the following command in mounted mode on standby database.
select current_scn from v$database;
then run the following to convert it to timestamp.
select scn_to_timestamp(99999999) from dual; *<-- Replace here the SCN value you got above. This needs to be run on the primary database due to standby database in mount mode.*
Alternatively you can also check at the alert.log file to find the last scn which has been applied.

RMAN backup on the physical standby database.

Hello,
11.2.0.3 EE database. Is it a requirement to open the database in read only mode in order to take a hot backup?
SQL>ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN READ ONLY;
I've initiated a rman backup without opening the db in read only and the following output is so far:
RMAN> backup format '/dbstor2/LTS/LTS_rman/%d_set%s_piece%p_%T_%U' check logical database plus archivelog;
Starting backup at 15-OCT-12
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: SID=603 device type=DISK
specification does not match any archived log in the repository
backup cancelled because there are no files to backup
I plan on taking this backup and using it to refresh our Dev and QA dbs. Do you see any issues with taking a backup without opening the db in ready only mode?
-SteveV

No we are not using Active Dataguard. An issue I am investigating is why can't I perform an archivelog backup from the standby?
RMAN> backup archivelog all format '/dbstor2/LTS/LTS_rman/arc.rman.bak';

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!

Create dev database from standby database

Hi folks,
I need to create a dev database by using RMAN's method of cloning. But, since it is business hours and the production database is being used at a very high rate, I cannot carryout the cloning by connecting the primary database as it may cause performance slowness.
The time allotted for the activity is also very short. We have a standby database created for the primary database. So, my question is it possible for me to create the dev database using the standby database ?
Database version is 11.1.0.6 and I can go ahead with the active database feature.

Yes, you can clone from the standby database. Follow the below steps.
1. Check if your standby database is in sync with the primary database.
2. Cancel the MRP on the standby database.
alter database recover managed standby database cancel;3. connect to standby as target database and dev database as auxiliary
rman target sys/<pwd>@<standby-alias> auxiliary sys/pwd@<dev-alias>4. Your standby database would be in mount stage and dev in nomount stage.
5. Run the duplicate command
rman>duplicate target database to 'dev' nofilenamecheck;6. Once done, start the MRP on the standby database
alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;

UAT Database from Standby database

Hi,
I'm using oracle 11.2.0.2.0 on Windows 2008,
I have prod & standby databases, I want to create new UAT DB which wiil be same as prod,
How Can create a UAT using standby database cold backup,
can i use cold backup of standby database.
Thanks

This would be a database duplication from backup with RMAN. A Catalog will help, particularly as you are working in a Data Guard environment, but it is a straightforward and well documented operation:

Can I have a primary database and standby database with a different windows version?

Hi
I need your help.
We need to increase the memory in the server where is the standby database , but first, we need to upgrade the windows version.
The actual version is windows 2003 standard edition 64 bits
The new version will be windows 2003 enterprise edition 64 bits
This difference in windows version between primary and standby servers can cause a problem in the synchronization between primary and standby databases ??
What do you recommend? Have both servers in the same windows version?
The databases are in SQL SERVER 2005.
Thanks.
Loreinn

This difference in windows version between primary and standby servers can cause a problem in the synchronization between primary
and standby databases ??<o:p></o:p>
There is no issue with database synchronization as long as SQL Server is of same version.<o:p></o:p>
What do you recommend? Have both servers in the same windows version?<o:p></o:p>
OS(Windows version) has no restriction for using SQL server 2005 database mirroring/log shipping. You can go with upgrade without any worries on SQL
database side.<o:p></o:p>

Primary Database and Standby Database sync

How to know that standby database is in sync with primary database?

Query the V$LOG_HISTORY view on the standby database, which records the latest log sequence number that has been applied. For example, issue the following query:
SQL> SELECT THREAD#, MAX(SEQUENCE#) AS "LAST_APPLIED_LOG"
2> FROM V$LOG_HISTORY
3> GROUP BY THREAD#;
THREAD# LAST_APPLIED_LOG
1 967In this example, the archived redo log with log sequence number 967 is the most recently applied log.
You can also use the APPLIED column in the V$ARCHIVED_LOG fixed view on the standby database to find out which log is applied on the standby database. The column displays YES for the log that has been applied. For example:
SQL> SELECT THREAD#, SEQUENCE#, APPLIED FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG;
THREAD# SEQUENCE# APP
1 2 YES
1 3 YES
1 4 YES
1 5 YES
1 6 YES
1 7 YES
1 8 YES
1 9 YES
1 10 YES
1 11 NO

Recover Primary Database from Standby Database

Hi all,
I'm trying to understand how to use physical standby database in order to have a backup from a primary database.
The first part is very clear. I supose I have a physical standby database ready and archiving from a primary database but the second part is the problem.
1. Now I supose that my primary database is gone... not just a logical corruption but a physical disaster such a fire o something worst.
How to recover the primary site from the physical standby database??????????
2. Just a logical corruption in primary database. How to syncronize with the standby database that it's the one who has the right data???
Thanks in advance.

How to recover the primary site from the physical standby database?1. Ensure that you DO have a Primary Site up and running. It might be the same building. It might be another building. Management might decide to switch to another city. (BTW, all of this should be defined in the D.R. / B.C.P. documentation).
The (possibly new) Primary Site has to have the required hardware , O.S etc.
2. Take a backup of the Standby and restore it to the (possibly new) Primary.
Actually, the Standby becomes the new Primary and the new site that is setup becomes the Standby. This continues until management decides to switch over.
Just a logical corruption in primary database.Take a backup of the Standby and restore it to the Primary. You have to suffer an outage. Note : If only one or few files on the Primary are physically corrupt (and offline), you could backup the selected files from the Standby and RESTORE and RECOVER on the Primary !

Taking RMAN backup of primary and standby databases.

Hi,
I am going to setup a Standby for Primary two node RAC to single node standby.
My doubt is, in standby both primary and standby will have the same db_name. So how can i take the RMAN backup of both primary and standby by using a single catalog.
That is, we can register the primary DB with catalog using it's db_name. But how can we register the standby with catalog using same db_name as it is already registered.
Thanks,
Mahi

Are you using a physical or logical standby?
If its a physical standby why do you need to back up both databases? backup the standby and you are done, the backup from the standby can be recovered to either the live serever or the standby if needed, andt hen the archivelogs used to bring it up to date.
If its a logical standby then change the database name for the standby and you can back both up to the same catalog, or alternativly cretae a new catalog for the standby, either as a new database or a new schema in your existing catalog.
