Standby database sync issue

Hi,
We get standby database is behind 6 hrs message some times. We check in production by issuing this.
SQL> select thread#,max(sequence#) from v$archived_log group by thread#;
THREAD# MAX(SEQUENCE#)
2 177416
1 169771
in Standby
SQL> select thread#,max(sequence#) from v$archived_log group by thread#;
THREAD# MAX(SEQUENCE#)
1 169771
2 177416
Does this mean that both are in sync?

Unfortunately, v$archived_log doesn't provide actual information - sometimes very strange behaviour when according to this view gap increases without any reason and then suddenly it goes in sync with primary - a lot of false triggering were when we used this view for monitoring.I asked to check in both primary & standby .... not only in primary
Thanks

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

Hi All,
Please provide me query which give me information about how many standby database configured .I need to generate report hourly sync information of database in our project. I have more than 120 production db and some db having more than one standby database.some of then at local satndby (some of database (prod) in datacenter and some of database in DR datacenter)
Does it it possible to configure in 12c oem?.If it is possible guide me.How can I create report for all databases sync status within one report?

Physical standby database backup issue

Hello
We have a Data Guard environment if I open Physical Standby database for query by this statement:
"Alter database recover managed standby database cancel" and then start redo apply by
"alter database recover managed standby database using current logfile" and then backup the Physical standby database by RMAN
for example
RMAN> backup database;
I will get this error :
Starting backup at 03-FEB-09
using channel ORA_DISK_1
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============

RMAN-03002: failure of backup command at 02/03/2009 15:36:45
ORA-01219: database not open: queries allowed on fixed tables/views only
but if before restarting redo apply after opening standby database for query I shutdown the database first and then start redo apply I don't get that error while backing up
If DataGuard mode is Maximum Performance or Maximum Availability shutting down the standby database before
restarting redo apply is possible but if DataGuard mode is Maximum Protection shutting down the standby database
cause failing Primary database
do you know what is problem and it's solution ?
thanks

like I said bro, i have made standby controlfile....
I made it on Primary Database (DG1)...........
but when I copied it to Physical Standby Database, the error message raised "DBID IS NOT SAME",
thanks Renato OCP for uR attention..........
is there any other suggestion.............?

How to sync the standby database with the primary?

Hi..We have dataguard setup for our production databases(10.2.0.3).
I need one clarification regarding the standby database sync with primary.We identified one of our databases is not in sync with the primary and for longtime the archives are not getting applied at the secondary.
We decided to take the incremental (from SCN)backup from primary and use that at the standby to resolve the gap as described in the book "Oracle dataguard concepts and administration".
But, before doing that,we observed couple of structural changes were not applied at the standby(ex:some tablespaces were not created in secondary where as they were there in primary).
How to apply these changes at the secondary as the standby is in mount state.(Can I open this database and create those tablespaces ?? or do you suggest any other way.
Thanks for your reply.

This points to a setup problem. Something missing, a parameter set wrong etc.
While your question is asking something different - How to correct, I would consider how to prevent. Unless you have a gap or logs not applied you have a deeper issue.
If you have a gap or logs not applied then correct it and check to see if the missing object are present.
The key parameters for Oracle 10 are :
FAL_SERVER=STANDBY
FAL_CLIENT=PRIMARY
STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT=AUTO
DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT='STANDBY','PRIMARY'
LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT='STANDBY','PRIMARY'
log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=/u01/app/oracle/oradata/PRIMARY/archive VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PRIMARY'
log_archive_dest_2='SERVICE=STANDBY LGWR ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=STANDBY'
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_1=ENABLE
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2=ENABLE
LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES=30
Check them on both sides for issues.
If your standby is really trashed consider using RMAN to duplicate it. You might end up saving time. I have Oracle 11 short notes on this but it will work on Oracle 10 too.
http://www.visi.com/~mseberg/duprman.html
Otherwise use statements like this to resolve you gap.
ALTER DATABASE REGISTER LOGFILE '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/STANDBY/archive/PRIMARY_1_20_716110538.arc';
ALTER DATABASE REGISTER LOGFILE '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/STANDBY/archive/PRIMARY_1_21_716110538.arc';See Section 5.8 Managing Archive Gaps of oracle document B14239-05

Logical Standby Database Not Getting Sync With Primary Database

Hi All,
I am using a Primary DB and Logical Standby DB configuration in Oracle 10g:-
Version Name:-
SQL> select * from v$version;
BANNER
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.5.0 - 64bi
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.5.0 - Production
CORE 10.2.0.5.0 Production
TNS for Solaris: Version 10.2.0.5.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.5.0 - Production
We have build the logical standby last week and till date the Logical DB is not sync. I have checked the init parameters and I wont see any problems with it. Also archive log destinations are also fine enough.
We have a important table named "HPD_HELPDESK" where record count is growing gradually whereas in logical standby it's not growing. There are some 19K record difference in the both the tables.
I have checked the alert log but it is also not giving any error message. Please find the last few lines of the alert log in logical Database:-
RFS LogMiner: Registered logfile [oradata_san1/oradata/remedy/arch/ars1_1703_790996778.arc] to LogMiner session id [1]

I am not able to trace the issue that why the records are not growing in logical DB. Please provide your inputs.
Regards,
Arijit

How do you know that there's such a gap between the tables?
If your standby db is a physical standby, then it is not open and you can't query your table without cancelling the recovery of the managed standby database.
What does it say if you execute this sql?
SELECT PROCESS, STATUS, THREAD#, SEQUENCE#, BLOCK#, BLOCKS FROM V$MANAGED_STANDBY;The ARCH processes should be connected and MRP waiting for a file.
If you query for the archive_gaps, do you get any hits?
select * from gv$archive_gapIf you're not working in a RAC environment you need to query v$archive_gap, instead!
Did you check whether the archives generated from the primary instance are transferred and present in the file system of your standby database?
I believe your standby is not in recovery_mode anymore or has an archive_gap, which is the reason why it doesn't catch up anymore.
Hope it helps a little,
Regards,
Sebastian
PS: I'm working on 11g, so unfortunately I'm not quite sure if the views are exist in 10gR2. It's worth a try though!

Facing issues in standby database

standby database is in sync but when we say archive log list "Current log sequence " and "Oldest online log sequence" are not geting updated
even though archives are getting applied.
Solution :- We can create new standby controlfile in order to get those archive sync .
Question :- why we are still receiving alert log errors when the standby database is running in Max performance? We have these standby files from so many days but recently we are able to see these errors
Any help regarding this is much appreciate.

Hello;
I think I would try to clear the log :
Example
ALTER DATABASE CLEAR LOGFILE GROUP 3;
Do this for any groups you are having this issue with.

How to sync primary and standby database in 11GR2 on linux

Hi ,
How to sync primary and standby database in 11GR2 on linux . Both my primay and standby are 3 node cluster each.
Can you please suggest a good link and brief steps .
Thanks

Are you trying to setup a new standby or sync an existing standby database?
OK I see it
"standby is behind the primary"
So you have a gap.
I would check both alert logs for a cause. You might find something like this
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor.Look for ORA-00308 and ORA-27037 and ORA-16055.
There's no sense fixing the gap unless the cause is fixed too.
Also check out this post from a few days ago its dealing with similar issues.

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

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.
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target=sys/@primary auxiliary=sys/@standby

Hi, the value of db_recovery_file_dest parameter is invalid,set this properly value(path) for this parameter and try again.

Standby database(11g) was still in sync after stopping the primary and standby database listener.

Hello !!!
I have noticed that my standby database(11g) was still in sync after stopping the primary and standby database listener.
If this is the case then how log is transferring from primary to standby ? it is not using listener service ? kindly clarify

Read this Metalink Note:407040.1
