Standby database on different version than prod.
Is it possible to have a standby database running on a different version of Oracle than the production database?
In this case I have production DB on the following version:
7.3.4
8.1.7.4.0
9.2.0.4.0
9.2.0.6.0
Would it be possible to run the a stand by DB in 10g?
From the docs posted previously, which you clearly didn't read
Oracle Data Guard is available only as a feature of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition. It is not available with Oracle Database Standard Edition. This means the same release of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition must be installed on the primary database and all standby databases in a Data Guard configuration.
Rhetorical question: Now what would same release mean?

Primary and Standby Database on different versions
Dear Friends,
We have a situation now where we have successfully completed the oracle upgrade of primary database to 10.2.0.4
but could not proceed further with the physical standby database.
Can we have standby database in its current version (9.2.0.8) and its primary database on (10.2.0.4)
and will it apply the logs shipped from primary without any issues ?
Appreciate your earliest valuable responses.
Best Regards,
Viswanathan Subramanian> Can we have standby database in its current version (9.2.0.8) and its primary database on (10.2.0.4)
No, this is not supported.

Standby database with different directory structure
Hi,
sorry to say that we are in desupported version due to some constraint.
oracle version : 8.1.7.0.0.
os:sun 5.9
I need to create physical standby database with different directory structure:
i have created standby database with same directory structure of primary, now i have requirement to create with different directory structure.
in oracle 8i we can not give multiple parameter for db_file_name_convert(ORA-01678: parameter db_file_name_convert must be two strings, a pattern and a replacement) and i do have partitions in primary as follows:

may be you can try something like this but i dont know whether it is supported or not
db_file_name_convert=['/dev/vx/dsk/suportaldg/oracle3','/dev/vx/dsk/suportaldg/STDBY/oracle3']

Standby database on different RedHat version
Hi,
Our Oracle 9.2.0.1 production database is running on a RedHat AS2.1. We would like to have a Standby database but the sysadmin already installed the server with RedHat ES4.0
Both platform have to be the same, but is there a chance it might work ?
Thanks
LucEven if it works, the consequences would be unknown. It is not suggested that such be done and therefore I suggest you do not either.

Standby database with different os
Hi,
can anyone help me,
if i want build standby database,
my primary database using Oracle on Sun Solaris v880,
can i use intel based linux or intel based solaris as standby
database (hardware cheaper than sun unix) ?
if can how to configure or install hardware and software.
or maybe you can recomend me hw/software, because i have tight
budget for backup server.
thank you
richardHi buddy,
I would like to mention two points to you.
1) Oracle and ideal standby database concepts suggest to have
same hardware and operating system (including patch).
2) You may use your own same hardware machine on which primary
database running, for your standby database, provided Oracle
instance names are different. You may not need another system to
buy.
I hope this helps you......my friend.. -

1. What change do I need to make while importing since database version in source and target are different?
2. Do I need to change any thing in my import command?1. What change do I need to make while importing since database version in source and target are different?You don't have to do anything. You are exporting metadata that will be recreated in your new database and new version. Just run the import command.
2. Do I need to change any thing in my import command?I don't think you need to change anything. You an add parallel if you want, but the import parallel does not have to match the export parallel, so keeping it as you have it will be fine.

Oracle standby database creation different backup location
Hi,
I am using Oracle EE 11gR2 on aix 6.2.I am tring to create a standby database.The directory structure od primary and standby database server are different.
I am taking backup (RMAN) at /u01/backup directory on primary server and shipping those backup to standby server at /u05/backup.While duplication the rman unable to locate backup pieces at Dr server as those backups are located on different location from Dc.How to over come this situation.catalog start with is not working.
Regards
DBAFORUHello;
Since you are on Oracle 11 one option would be duplicate from active primary. You can use the Standby parameters of DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT for the directory structure.

My itunes is a different version than my ipod
How do I correct this? My itunes is version 7.4.2.4 - my ipod (30gb) is version 1.2.1 - this does not seem right. Can someone help me? I am a new itunes/ipod user. I am still learning. I have restored already but it stayed the same. Everything seems to be working like normal. I am just concerned about the different versions. Thanks a million!!
There's nothing wrong.
They are different things so they have different versions.
Those are both the latest versions of the iPod OS for your iPod and the iTunes application. -
Nodemanager different version than node?
Hey all,
We would like to upgrade one node of a system to weblogic 8.1 sp5 while keeping the nodemanager at 8.1 sp2 (for a little while, make sure it's stable). The node isn't part of a cluster.
Our first attempt to try this resulted in a classCastException in the weblogic server, but we aren't sure the upgrade went okay.
Has anyone ever tried a configuration like this?
Thanks
--nw@Brian : "You will need to use the version of srvctl that matches the version of the resource you are interacting with" is not completely correct.
for example you can't manage 11.2.0.4 ASM with srvctl executed from 11.2.0.4 RDBMS HOME/bin.
Please see the documentation:
Server Control Utility Reference
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/rac.112/e41960/srvctladmin.htm#RACAD005
"To manage Oracle ASM on Oracle Database 11g release 2 (11.2) installations, use the SRVCTL binary in the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home for a cluster (Grid home). If you have Oracle RAC or Oracle Database installed, then you cannot use the SRVCTL binary in the database home to manage Oracle ASM."
In case GRID and RDBMS HOMEs were installed with different OS users that won't work either.
You need to execute srvctl from that home from which the resource is running.
ie.
3 RDBMS Homes and a Grid Home
1) instance A is running from /opt/oracle/product/11.2/db1 as ora1 user (version 11.2.0.3)
2) instance B is running from /opt/oracle/product/11.2/db2 as ora2 user (version 11.2.0.4)
3) instance C is running from /opt/oracle/product/11.2/db3 as ora2 user (version 11.2.0.4)
4) ASM instance running from /opt/oracle/product/grid as grid user (version 11.2.0.4)
you have to manage
instance A with /opt/oracle/product/11.2/db1/bin/srvctl as ora1 user
instance B with /opt/oracle/product/11.2/db2/bin/srvctl as ora2 user
instance C with /opt/oracle/product/11.2/db3/bin/srvctl as ora2 user (even instance B and instance C has the same version)
ASM instance with /opt/oracle/product/grid/bin as grid

How do I add a print button that would print out pdf or different version than what is on the site?
I see this example on NY Times. If you pick any of their articles and click print or do the short cut (Command-P) ... (Control-P for windows), the layout of their article is completely customized and cleaner. It seems like they've edited the print look to be different than what you see on the website.
I find that very cool and something I've bent dying to achieve. My guess is that I could make a pdf to what I want the print look to be and have a print button read that instead of the website but I don't know, I need help with this.I have but it's not what I'm looking for. I want to edit what the printer will actually print when a reader clicks print. So if the page has a puzzle, for example, and the reader clicks print. The printer will print the puzzle in a different location on the page without some of the clutter that's on the site or have some message that's not originally present on the website.

Disk utility is for different version than OS X
Hi. I updated my OS from Leopard to Snow Leopard. The OS version is now 10.6.8. But when launcing my disk utility I get an error message saying that "the version of Disk Utility cannot be used with current Mac OS X version. You have a Disk Utility version 10.5.8."
Does anyone know why the Disk Utility did not get updated with OS update and how to update it manually?If you moved Disk Utility from the Applications -> Utilities folder, it might not get updated. The same is true with any prebundled applications, or installed applications. Many are coded only to work from their preinstalled locations. If clutter is an issue, use Aliases, the Finder sidebar, and Dock to make shortcuts to these programs. http://www.charlessoft.com/ Pacifist lets you extract software from installers, and then running the appropriate combo update from* http://www.macmaps.com/jaguarleopard.html over the existing system (10.6.8 combo over a 10.6.8 system will ensure any Apple software is up to date if it is in its prescribed folder.

When I share the video it exports a different version than what appears in the timeline
I've had a really frustrating few days waiting for exports (to Apple Devices) and processing (when uploading to Vimeo). In my timeline appears the properly edited video, but when it gets shared, the video drops clips that I have added, and includes clips that I removed early in the editing process, and gives me a final product that is not my intended video. Please help, need to get this video uploaded for a client yesterday!
Changes made inside compounds are reflected in the project - there is one caveat and I wonder if that was the case for you: compounds, like any other clip, are trimmed to a given duration in the timeline. If your changes made that duration change, you'd have to adjust in the project timeline. For example if you create a 1 minute compound and then edit in its own timeline so that it beco es, say, 5 minutes, it will still be trimmed to 1 minute in the project timeline, and you may have to drag the edges of the clip to extend as much as you wish. This is NOT a bug.

Standby database in same computer
I have made standby database in different computer then in production database in similar path and it is working.
But whenever I try to make it in same computer it gives me error. I have gone through the oracle documentaion.
But still I can't.
Any suggestion on NodeI still get the problem.
I have created a prod database with archive log mode and archival enabled
I shut down it and copyed the
"oradata/prod to oradata/stdby",
"admin/prod to admin/stdby",
"initprod.ora to initstdby.ora" and
"pwdprod.ora to pwdstdby.ora"
Then I have added a service name "stdby" with net8 easy config
Now I have created a new instance stdby with "oradim -new -sid stdby"
now In "Prod init.ora" file I have added
log_archive_start = true
log_archive_dest_1 = "location=e:\Oracle\oradata\stdby\archive"
log_archive_dest_state_1 = ENABLE
log_archive_dest_2 = 'SERVICE=standby1'
log_archive_dest_state_2 = ENABLE
global_names = false
Now I have started the prod database and created a standby controlfile
alter database create standby controlfile '\oradata\stdby\stdby.ctl'
now In "Stdby init.ora" file I have added
db_name = "prod"
instance_name = stdby
service_names = stdby
control_files = ("e:\Oracle\oradata\stdby\stdby.ctl")
log_archive_start = true
log_archive_dest_1 = "location=e:\Oracle\oradata\stdby\archive"
log_archive_dest_state_1 = ENABLE
standby_archive_dest = 'e:\Oracle\oradata\stdby\'
db_file_name_convert = ('\prod\','\stdby\')
log_file_name_convert = ('\prod\','\stdby\')
lock_name_space = 'stdby'
Now IN standby when I do
SQL_stdby>>startup nomount pfile='E:\Oracle\Oracle8i\DATABASE\initstdby.ora';
SQL_stdby>>alter database mount standby database;
SQL_stdby>>RECOVER AUTOMATIC STANDBY DATABASE;
Up to this it works
Now when I start prod database
SQL_prod>>startup
it gives me the error

Hello Folks,
DB Version : 10.2.0.4
OS : Solaris 5.8
I am planning to configure 2nd standby database (Physical ) for one of the my production database.
Right now it's configured with 1 physical standby database. If any one has previous experience or any document link please update the forum.
Thanks for your time.primary database parameter
*.fal_client=' '
*.fal_server=' '
standby database 1
*.fal_client='stby1'
*.fal_server='primary'
standby 2 parameter
*.fal_client='stby2'
*.fal_server='stby1','primary'
more that that we have to set log_archive_dest_n parameters correctly
and db_file_name_convert and log_file_name_convert parameters , if it is needed.
configuring listener.ora and tnsnames.ora files ....
i plan to post a documentation of creating and adding physical and logical standby databases in different hosts..
please wait this month end , i plan to post it in my blog

Hello Experts, We are making an standby database. Our version of oracle : ORACLE 10 G 10.2
OS : WINDOWS 2003 SERVER. We are making export weekly 3 times from the production database. To ensure the avilabiliy , We are making a standy by database
with same OS and Oracle too. Kindly some one tell me the correct way to import the data base to the standby database.. We need the exact copy of the production database on the standby server. (like image). I need the exact IMPORT tool syntax. KINDLY HELP ME.How do you move data from one database to another?
several methods, one in particular stands out: transportable tablespaces.
In this approach, you take a set of self-contained, read-only tablespaces, export only the metadata, copy the datafiles of those tablespaces at the OS level to the target platform, and import the metadata into the data dictionary—a process known as plugging.
OS file copy is generally much faster than other traditional means of data movement such as export/import.
