Standby Database - from READ-ONLY to Managed Recovery

We have a standby database set up for our production environment.
We are able to switch logfile on production and perform the managed recovery and then switch over to READ-ONLY mode. However, when the database is in READ-ONLY mode...I cannot close it if there are active connections.
There are 2 ways I can attempt to close the database...either by "shutdown immediate" or by issuing an "alter system kill session (##,##);"
If I issue the "shutdown immediate", then the RFS process does not transmit any more files...saying the connection to host is not there. Therefore this is not a valid solution.
I can use an alter system kill...to kill all active connections...but it would require to know what other connections are there.
Does anybody know how to best do this...to close the database by forcing all connections to end (except your current one) so you can "alter database close" and switch over to managed recovery?
Please HELP!
Thanks.

u just shutdown the server and restart in standby mode. it will apply all pending archive autometically.

  • Opening a Standby Database in Read-Only mode

    Is there anyway to open a Standby database up to date as of a certain time? I'm currently using the 2 commands to get close to the time required.
    ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT;
    ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;
    Such as, similar to this? RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL TIME '2012-01-25:15:00:00';
    We're on 11.1.0.7, which I'm currently very unhappy with.
    Thanks for any help, as my google-fu hasn't worked today.
    James

    Maybe
    I did a quick test :
    8:42 open the databases and start recovery
    8:43 check status from primary
    Shows sequence 75
    and "TO STANDBY" for switchover status
    Did log switches at 8:44, 8:45, and 8:46
    8:50
    SQL> alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
    SQL> RECOVER STANDBY DATABASE UNTIL TIME ' 2012-01-25:20:43:00';
    Media recovery complete.
    SQL>
    8:52
    SQL> alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
    Database altered.
    Check status
    TO STANDBY and sequence 78Still need to check alert logs and do another log switch. It checks out so the quick test works.
    However the quick test is incomplete since there was no before and after data in the test and the time period was very short.
    Andy may be right, but I would test, test test. ( if you do please let us know the results )
    Thanks Andy!
    Best Regards
    mseberg
    Later
    After sleeping on this I decided my first thought is probably correct. You cannot go back in time and still be in sync. While the test statement did not error or produce any alert log entries, it probably did nothing. Oracle is smart enough to know you cannot have your Cake and eat it too.

  • ORA-01578 about standby database in read only mode

    Hi,
    I have an ORA-05178 (data block corrupted) about a standby database which in read-only mode. About production database, there is no problem.
    After analyze, this is an index segment :
    SELECT segment_name , segment_type , owner , tablespace_name
    FROM sys.dba_extents
    WHERE file_id = 58
    AND 218173 BETWEEN block_id and block_id + blocks -1

    There is no constraint.
    How can I repair this problem ?

    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
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target=sys/@recover2 auxiliary=sys/@reclone
    Recovery Manager: Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production on Wed Feb 22 14:50:31 2012

    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

  • Restored standby database from primary; now no logs are shipped

    Hi
    We recently had a major network/SAN issue and had to restore our standby database from a backup of the primary. To do this, we restored the database to the standby, created a standby controlfile on the primary, copied this across to the control file locations and started in standby recover and applied the logs manually/registered to get it back up to speed.
    However, no new logs are being shipped across from the primary.
    Have we missed a step somewhere?
    One thing we've noticed is that there is no RFS process running on the standby:
    SQL> SELECT PROCESS, CLIENT_PROCESS, SEQUENCE#, STATUS FROM V$MANAGED_STANDBY;
    PROCESS CLIENT_P SEQUENCE# STATUS
    ARCH ARCH 0 CONNECTED
    ARCH ARCH 0 CONNECTED
    MRP0 N/A 100057 WAIT_FOR_LOG
    How do we start this? Or will it only show if the arc1 process on the primary is sending files?
    The arc1 process is showing at OS level on the primary but I'm wondering if its faulty somehow?
    There are NO errors in the alert logs in the primary or the standby. There's not even the normal FAL gap sequence type error - in the standby it's just saying 'waiting for log' and a number from ages ago. It's like the primary isn't even talking to the standby. The listener is up and running ok though...
    What else can we check/do?
    If we manually copy across files and do an 'alter database register' then they are applied to the standby without issue; there's just no automatic log shipping going on...
    Thanks
    Ross

    Hi all
    Many thanks for all the responses.
    The database is 10.2.0.2.0, on AIX 6.
    I believe the password files are ok; we've had issues previously and this is always flagged in the alert log on the primary - not the case here.
    Not set to DEFER on primary; log_archive_dest_2 is set to service="STBY_PHP" optional delay=720 reopen=30 and log_archive_dest_state_2 is set to ENABLE.
    I ran those troubleshooting scripts, info from standby:

    NOW - before you say it - :) - yes, I'm aware that fal_client as STBY_R1P and fal_server as R1P are incorrect - should be PHP - but it looks like it's always been this way! Well, as least for the last 4 years where it's worked fine, as I found an old SP file and it still has R1P set in there...?!?
    Any ideas?

  • Standby database from RMAN backup

    I have been assigned to create a standby database from our RMAN backups in a different machine, as this is my first attempt at recovering, I am struggling a bit. I would appreciate if someone can throw any light on what dumb mistakeI am doing here. I ahve absolutely no control over the back up script which is done by my vendor, but can do anything in the reocvery portion. I did try going through the documentaiton and other help available for the last 2 days.
    Database : Oracle 10G R2
    OS : Windows Server 2003
    My backup script is
    configure channel device type disk format 'J:\RMAN\RMAN_df_%U' maxpiecesize 2048M;
    SQL "ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE";
    SQL "ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE";
    backup database;
    SQL "ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE";
    SQL "ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE";
    backup current controlfile for standby FORMAT='J:\RMAN\RMAN_sc_%U';
    For recovery of a standby database,
    I have copied the the back up pieces and the archive logs to the standby server where I have just created an instance with the same name as production db.
    set ORACLE_SID=NGINPROD
    set dbid 820336652
    STARTUP NOMOUNT
    RESTORE STANDBY CONTROLFILE FROM 'I:\TEMP\RMAN_Backup\RMAN\RMAN_SC_2UMIUJM1_1_1';
    CATALOG BACKUPPIECE 'I:\TEMP\RMAN_Backup\RMAN\RMAN_DF_2RMIUIE4_1_1',

    Till this step I do not encounter any issues, but when i try to recover the database I am hit with the below error.

    Appendix "F Creating a Standby Database with Recovery Manager" of the "Oracle® Data Guard Concepts and Administration" guide.
    I don't see ArchiveLog backups being done by the vendor's script. How do you backup the ArchiveLogs ?
    In your post you state that you have copied the ArchiveLogs. Are they copied to the same log_archive_dest location ? RMAN needs to be "aware" of them. You can use the "CATALOG" command in RMAN to register them into the controlfile.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta011.htm#sthref230
    A Standby Database uses a Standby Controlfile which is created from the Primary (with the "ALTER DATABASE CREATE STANDBY CONTROLFILE AS 'locaion';" command) and then copied over to the Standby server.

  • Creating standby database from ASM production database in standard edition

    Hi,
    I am using oracle 10g release 2 standard edition. I recently created a database instance and wanted to create a standby database instance. After sorting out how to achieve this without managed standby and data guard I finally got it working and the shipped archive logs are applied and working well on the standby database.
    Now I am thinking of re-creating my production database and using ASM for storage managment. By doing this can a standby database still be created from a primary database using ASM? I want to be sure I can before I commit to using ASM for the production instance and manually creating a standby database from that instance.
    Note: I am using standard edition not enterprise edition.

    Hi
    For Oracle SE standby, you can visit www.anbultechnologies.co.uk , they have a brilliant product name DRMC which is Automatic disaster recovery solution with automatic failover in case primary goes down due to any reason.
    We are using this product for more than 2 years and it works like a dream using Oracle Standard Edition. We have depolyed more databases and Standby solution within the prices of 2 EE edition licenses.
    You can give ma try as well.

  • Startup command starts database but alter database open read only gives error

    Hi,
    I'm having some strange behavior. I've 10.2.0.3 database on windows 2003.
    The startup command starts database without any issues.
    But if I try following it gives error.
    startup mount (successful no errors)
    alter database open read only; gives error that file Mnnnnnn is missing.
    Why this is happening and how to fix it?
    Thanks.

    You really need to show us exactly what Oracle is telling you, using copy and paste, so we can have some clue.  You can hide details like instance and host names if they show up.
    I'm wondering if you had some messed up offline datafile in a tablespace, where Oracle handles it with startup, but gets upset when you try to open read-only.  It's some bizarro sequence of events like: add a datafile to a tablespace, decide that was a mistake, alter it offline, then remove it from the OS without telling Oracle any more about it.  I've come back from vacation to find scenarios like this, it winds up being a time-bomb trying to recreate a standby later.  Or something like that, I could be unremembering some details.

  • Using  Data Pump when database is read-only

    Hello
    I used flashback and returned my database to the past time then I opened the database read only
    then I wanted use data pump(expdp) for exporting a schema but I encounter this error
    ORA-31626: job does not exist
    ORA-31633: unable to create master table "SYS.SYS_EXPORT_SCHEMA_05"
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 95
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.KUPV$FT", line 863
    ORA-16000: database open for read-only access
    but I could by exp, export that schema
    My question is that , don't I can use Data Pump while database is read only ? or do you know any resolution for the issue ?
    thanks

    You need to use NETWORK_LINK, so the required tables are created in a read/write database and the data is read from the read only database using a database link:
    SYSTEM@db_rw> create database link db_r_only
      2   connect to system identified by oracle using 'db_r_only';
    $ expdp system/oracle@db_rw network_link=db_r_only directory=data_pump_dir schemas=scott dumpfile=scott.dmpbut I tried it with 10.2.0.4 and found and error:

  • Creating physical standby database from another physical standby database

    hi,
    We have one production database and one physical standby of the production. Now we have situation where we need to create one database from either production or from standby. As production is loaded we can not do it using active database option. Now we have the only option to copy the database from standby.
    As of now we open the standby and copy it using rman duplicate database and again we put it back to standby mode.
    Is it possible to create standby database from standby database only?
    Oracle version : 11.1.0.7.0
    I have seen procedure allowing to do the same in version 11.2.0.3. I have tried searching for the difference but didn't find when this feature was introduced.
    Thanks,
    Ketul Patel

    Hello;
    Active duplicate should work when connected to Standby as source Database. However there's a bug 11715084 which is not fixed until version 11.2.0.4.
    If patch 11715084 is available for your version it may work, but all the 11.1.0 are gone so I have no way to test.
