Standby Database(TNS no listener)

The following error is encountering when I connect from standy database for recreating standby database
Rman-00554 initilization internal recovery manager package failed
Rman-04005 error from target database
ORA-12541 TNS no listener
Any help would be highly appreciated

Oracle version number (to four decimal places)?
Logical or physical standby?
Connect using what connection string?
Making a wild guess at what you are trying to do since you included almost no information here's what you may be trying to do:
SQL> startup nomount;
$ rman target sys/oracle1@proda auxiliary /
RMAN> duplicate target database for standby nofilenamecheck;
RMAN> exit;obviously using a real password and instance name.
If not then you need to do a far more complete job of explaining what you are doing.

Tnsnames.ora / listener.ora files on Oracle Standby Database

Hi I am configuring an Oracle Standby Database to my production system 4.7 and Oracle 9.2.0.4
My production server is: PR01
Database SID: PRD
Standby database server is: PRDR
Database SID: PRD
I have already configured the server to a standby database offline backup. Was generated the control files of the standby database and the database is in standby mode.
Now I will create a script to start the synchronization of offline redolog from the production server to standby server.
I have a question: in the document SAP Oracle Standby Database, tells me I should change the tnsnames.ora production server pointing to an additional entry disaster recovery server. The tnsnames.ora file must have two entries??? corresponding to a production server and another to the disaster recovery server??
In several links of oracle tells me I should configure listener.ora disaster recovery server that is true??
Guys my question is: where should I change my listener.ora and tnsnames.ora files?
Please clear my doubt.
Best regards,
Desiree

Hi Desiree,
The entry in your TNSNAMES.ORA is a nothing but a tns service, when you define archive log destination it will point to a service. This service's host name will be resolved in your tnsnsmaes.ora file.
Below is the eg of an entry in pfile:
*.log_archive_dest_2='SERVICE=<service_name> ARCH OPTIONAL'
Below is the entry in your tnsnames.ora file
<service_name>.WORLD=
(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS =
          (COMMUNITY = SAP.WORLD)
          (PROTOCOL = TCP)
          (HOST = <DR_HOST>)
          (PORT = 1527)
    (CONNECT_DATA =
       (SID = <DB_SID>)
       (GLOBAL_NAME = <DB_SID>.WORLD)
So, your tnsnames.ora will have one entry for your host and the other for the DR host, i.e two entries.
Listener entry for the convenience when there is a switch over.

Bala

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

Local Database, TNS Names & ORA-12541: No Listener

I am trying to get IFS working on our new Windows 7 machine and the entire department is scratching it's head right now.
I have gotten Oracle 11.2.0.1 installed and finally being seen by the ODBC thanks to the past threads on the forum mentioning the System Environment Variable. However, now I need to be able to get the program to sync the information that I can pull from "MPRDSP6", the one working ODBC connection right now.
In the past with Oracle XE we had the following in our TNS Names file:
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = COMPUTER.company.local)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)
The XE was created whenever Oracle XE was installed and we just added in our MPRDSP6 at the end of the TNS Names file. This was what we used when making the local copy for our personell that would travel and need access to the database.
However, with Oracle 11.2.0.1, there was no TNS Names file whenever it installs and I had to create it --> Inputting our XE entry and the other, MPRDSP6.
Upon trying to 'Test Connection' in the ODBC screen I get:
Unable to Connect
SQLState=S1000
[Oracle][ODBC][Ora] ORA-12541: TNS:no listener
Whenever I try to sync the MPRDSP6 with the local copy of it (named local_db), I am getting an error from the program saying:
Could not find the Local Oracle Data Folder. Please make sure your Local Oracle is running and that you have set the Local Database Creator.
I am assuming this is simply because there is actually no database in existance: it is just in the TNS Names.
I am Running Windows 7 x64
Forgive me if this is a very simple fix as I am completely new to the world of Oracle.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Having the same issue, trying to connect IFS Sales and Marketing. In my case, I am using Oracle Express 10g, Windows 7 32-bit. My ODBC DSN can find the "host" server, but does not seem to find the local Oracle Express instance.

How to change the listener port number on a standby database

i want to change the listener port number from 1525 to 1545, which is running on a standby database.
i did the following steps and got some error.
1. i stop listener and modfy listener.ora
2. i login in standby DB and issue 'alter system set local_listener='(address=(pro=tcp)(host=10.10.10.10)(port=1545))';'
3. i login in dg broker and issue 'edit database 's1' set property 'LocalListenerAddress'='(address=(pro=tcp)(host=10.10.10.10)(port=1545))';' and a error coming out ORA-16703: cannot set the property while the database is enabled
4. then i disable database
DGMGRL> disable database 'ssmscs';
5. DGMGRL> edit database 's1' set property 'LocalListenerAddress'='(address=(pro=tcp)(host=10.10.10.10)(port=1545))';
Error: ORA-16541: site is not enabled
Configuration details cannot be determined by DGMGRL
what can i do ? can anybody help me out? thanks in advance.

Hi
You have to edit the following files in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin or $TNS_ADMIN/ :
In your listener.ora on your standby
MQ_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = superman.dk)*(PORT = 1524))*
TNSNAMES.ORA (on your primary and standby)
MQ_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (COMMUNITY = tcp.world)(PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = superman.dk)*(PORT = 1524))*
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = MQ_LIST))
after that do
lsnrctl reload

Failed to connect to database instance: ORA-12541: TNS:no listener

Hello -
This is the error in grid alert:
Failed to connect to database instance: ORA-12541: TNS:no listener (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach).
But the test of connection string in database configure screen is successful. tnsping works too.
Grid version: 11.2.0.1.0, no patches.
Target database version: 10.2.0.2
Connect string: (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = s08) (PORT = 1528))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = S08) (GLOBAL_NAME = S08.WORLD)))
Any ideas?

OK.. Are you testing the connectivity from "Preferred Credentials " setting page?
Try to configure target from
Targets-->databases--> then select your database and click on "configure" button.
Enter all the details and press "Test Connection" button once it shows that connection is successful go to next page and finally save the setting.
Let me know how it goes....

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

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.

oradim -new -IDR standby -startmode manual recreate password file at primary database , copy the same password file from primary database to standby database,also make sure primary database started with REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE=EXCLUSIVE parameter.
Check also the primary database is able to tnsping to standby database.

Hello;
Generally for the connection to work you need to add something like this to the listener.ora file :
(SID_DESC =
    (global_dbname = STANDBY.hostname)
    (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.2)
    (sid_name = STANDBY)
)You should stop and start the listener on the Standby after adding this. Also your tnsnames.ora must be correct on both the primary and the Standby.
Also you need an INIT for the Standby side :
STANDBY.__db_cache_size=343932928
STANDBY.__java_pool_size=4194304
STANDBY.__large_pool_size=4194304

Keys to success
1. New Standby start NOMOUNT on new password file. ( On Oracle 11 you must copy and rename the file from Primary server )
2. Hard coded listener on new Standby server.
3. Correct tnsnames.ora files.
4. Correct duplicate command.
Please consider closing some of you old answered questions

Problem Converting standby database from snapshot to physical

Any help willl be greatly appreciated...
I am trying to convert a standby database that is in "snapshot" mode back to "physical" standby and I am encountering problems in the process from the "DGMGRL" command line.
Both instances are on the same physical machine. Everything was working fine untill I tried to change the db from snapshot to physical. The DGMGRL starts the conversion process and is able to shutdown but when trying to restart the instance is fails and reports that the service is not defined.
Here is the issue I am facing:

Thanks for the response.
So, here is the status now....with a little background...
After my original post, I started to read the manuals and I found the sql command to convert the database back from snapshot to physical standby (sb).
That worked fine and I had my snapshot sb back to physical sb.
So when you posted the suggestion, I already had my db in physical sb mode. I said no problem, I will convert it back to snapshot and then back again using dgmgrl instead of sql+
Well here is how my listener is configured now.
SID_LIST_I11G1 =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = I11G1.MHOST)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\app\mmj\product\11.1.0\db_1)
(SID_NAME = I11G1)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = I11G1SB.MHOST)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\app\mmj\product\11.1.0\db_1)
(SID_NAME = I11G1SB)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = I11G1SB_DGMGRL)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:\app\mmj\product\11.1.0\db_1)
(SID_NAME = I11G1SB)
Then using dgmgrl I tried to change the db from p-sb to s-sb and the results are not good....

Not sure if the following (notice the typo in the service name) in the parameter (log_archive_dest_2) definition on the standby d/b has anything to do with this. I did not get this error when I initially converted to s-sb.
also I checked all my session notes, I did not type the command to set this parameter on the standby d/b and so it was not a typo on my part. However, it seems to have come from the rman script supplied with the obe. This script is supposed to clone the primary d/b to a standby db and in the process replace the string /i11g1/ with /i11g1sb/.

I am tempted to start all over again, but I'd rather use this opportunity to debug this issue (as a learning exercise). I can always start from scratch. That brings up another Q: What do I need to do to blow away all traces of the stand by database (including all the archive logs etc...) keeping my primary intact. I'd also like to blow away all snapshot and archive logs for the primary as well.

Cannot Convert standby database from snapshot to physical

Hello all,
I am using Oracle Entreprise version 11gR1 and had made the followings configuration:
- ANAISMD2 : primary database+_+
- ANAISMD3 : physical standby datbase. Created via RMAN
Both are located on the same host running a RH 4.
ANAISMD3 is maintained successfully with the primary.
I can make a fail-over between the both: it works fine.
I can convert ANAISMD3 from physical to snapshot via DGMGRL: it works fine
But I cannot convert back ANAISMD3 to physical, got an error ORA-12514
I had checked also the listener service for both ANAISMD2/ANAISMD3 before launching the conversion:
- the services shown on ANAISMD3 seems correct e.g. ANAISMD2 is seen as a remote server.
- but on ANAISMD2, ANAISMD3 seems incorrect e.g. ANAISMD3 is seen as a local server.
I had attached some screen shots of dg/lsnrctl results;
What are the mistakes
Thank in advance for support
==> Before I made the conversion , DGMGRL shows correct primary/standby status:

You need to have static service registered with listener in this way. This is must because as you know when it converts db that time it shutsdown dbs also so all dynamic services are lost and dgmgrl is not ale to connect to db hence conversion fails.
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = ORACLE_SID)
(GLOBAL_DBNAME=db_unique_name_DGMGRL.db_domain)
(ORACLE_HOME = /apps/oracle/product/11.1.0)
Plus with this make a entry in tnsnames.ora using service name from above or check from lsnrctl status look for service "db_unique_name_DGMGRL.db_domain"
e.g. this is my best practice how i give the names to tns entry
db_unique_name_DGMGRL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(SDU = 32767)
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = hostname)(PORT = port))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = db_unique_name_DGMGRL.db_domain)
Define same way in both primary and standby db.
Now use these tns entries to create configuration.
e.g.
create configuration prim_db as primary database is db_unique_name connect identifier is "db_unique_name_DGMGRL";
-- db_unique_name_DGMGRL from primary tns entry
add database stdby_db as connect identifier is "db_unique_name_DGMGRL" MAINTAINED AS PHYSICAL;
-- db_unique_name_DGMGRL from standby db tns entry
hope this will help

Error during open standby database in read only mode

hi,
alter database open read only;
alter database open read only
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-10458: standby database requires recovery
ORA-01152: file 1 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup
ORA-01110: data file 1: '/u02/app/oracle/oradata/standby/system01.dbf'
Detailed OCI error val is 12154 and errmsg is 'ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
what is the reason of this.
Thanks in advance.

thanks for your reply.
