Standby senario

Hi,
we are on 10g R2 Standard edition , then we can not have DATAGUARD. Then I imagine following Scenario. Will it function ?? Thanks for your opinions and your remarks and notices.
Suppose I have a PRODDB (as primary DB) on Linux1 server. I duplicate PRODDB on Linux2 server (as a standby DB). Then if I push archived log from linux1 to linux2 and do (on standby DB) :
alter database recover managed standby database disconnect;
Will I have the stand by at the same level near to PRODDB primary ?
Can I do this as a senario to have un nearly updated Standby database to use in case of primary DB crash ?

By using the alter database recover managed standby database disconnect; command, you're using most probably using an EE-only option.
The proper way to do this on SE is to recover by specifying redo files to recover from, and to transfer those files without using Oracle log transport (ie., you must save them locally, and them copy them using ftp/ssh/etc. to standby).
This was the only option on Oracle7, and it works. Without real-time apply, of course, so you will always loose data from current redo log in the event of catastrophe. You can force log switches say every few minutes, to keep this gap smaller, but beware of the possible ramifications on primary db performance.
Don't forget that you have to licence both databases.

  • Problem while creating Physical standby database on remote Server

    Hi
    I try to create a physical standby datbaase using OEM 10gr2, it is working when I create on same server. No issue but when I try to create same on remote server it is giving below warning and process failing. Please let me know what needs to be down in this senario...
    It is showing redo log information in v$log and v$log_file but not creating physically on PHYSICAL Standby instance..
    I appriciate your help and ur time too..
    These messages are from PRIMARY database alert*.log file
    There is space for up to 12 standby redo logfiles
    Use the following SQL commands on the standby database to create
    standby redo logfiles that match the primary database:
    ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE 'srl1.f' SIZE 52428800;
    ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE 'srl2.f' SIZE 52428800;
    ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE 'srl3.f' SIZE 52428800;
    ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE 'srl4.f' SIZE 52428800;
    ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE 'srl5.f' SIZE 52428800;
    WARNING: OMF is enabled on this database. Creating a physical
    standby controlfile, when OMF is enabled on the primary
    database, requires manual RMAN intervention to resolve OMF
    datafile pathnames.
    NOTE: Please refer to the RMAN documentation for procedures
    describing how to manually resolve OMF datafile pathnames.
    Thanks and Regards,
    RK

    Well, it is simply warning that "Creating a physical
    standby controlfile, when OMF is enabled on the primary
    database, requires manual RMAN intervention to resolve OMF
    datafile pathnames.
    NOTE: Please refer to the RMAN documentation for procedures
    describing how to manually resolve OMF datafile pathnames"
    For instance, the path for the logfile name in "ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE 'srl5.f' SIZE 52428800" may need to be changed manually. It is advisable to check the mentioned documentation.

  • Backup physical standby delete arch

    Hi
    I am scheduling hot backup for physical standby, the backup does backup database plus archivelog delete input...
    my question is what if there is delay with apply process and the rman job back's up the archive log and removes them before they get aplplied to the standby?
    is above described case a vlaid senario ? what can i do to avoid this ?
    thanks

    you said:
    >
    consider senario where logs are not shipped due to network issue ... so standby is couple of hours behind ....
    and also we loss the primary !! how do you recover the gap between primary and stnadby ?
    >
    Let us just assume that:
    1. Your Network Connection to the Standby interrupts
    2. After a while, the Primary gets completely destroyed
    Your solution to that would be to ship Archivelogs that you took on the Primary to the Standby? When where the Archivelogs taken?
    Regardless of your concrete answer to that: You are encountering loss of transactional data with that 'solution' - the only question is: How much data do you lose?
    In other words: This is not really a sensible solution to that assumed scenario.
    Instead, the real solution would be to
    a) Have multiple Standby Databases
    b) Have at least redundant Network Connection to the one Standby
    Instead of fixing your dysfunctional solution, you may better put your efforts on the implementation of a functional solution.
    At least that is what I would recommend.
    Kind regards

  • Creating a new schema in a Logical Standby Database

    Hi All,
    I am experimenting with logical standby databases for the purpose of reporting, and have not been able to create a new schema in the logical standby database - one of the key features of logical standbys.
    I have setup primary and logical standby databases, and they seem to be running just fine - changes are moved from the primary to the standby and queries on the standby seem to run ok.
    However, If I try to create a new schema on the logical standby, that does not exist on the primary, I get "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges" errors when I try to create new objects.
    Show below are the steps I have taken to create the new schema on the logical standby. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    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.

  • Hard drive wakes up immediately after being put into standby

    I have an IDE disk which, till now, I used to keep in standby mode (it makes an audible humming noise when it's working which annoys me a lot :<). Today I noticed that after running `hdparm -y' on it, it would spin down but then it would immediately spin up again. I'm certain that the disk isn't being used and doesn't have any partitions mounted anywhere on the filesystem. Still, I'm unable to pinpoint the reason it's waking up.
    Any ideas on why this is happening?
    Edit: It appears that the disk gets into standby by itself after 10 minutes. I wish I knew where this value is coming from. O.o
    Edit2: Those 10 minutes must be coming from `hdparm -S1 /dev/sdb'; maybe the hard drive has a lower limit in regard to this setting. :3
    (I'm not sure what kind of information would be useful in order to troubleshoot this issue, but below are some bits I believe are relevant)
    Failed attempt to put the drive into standby:

    Here is what i get when i try that command.:
    $ sudo hdparm -B 254 /dev/sdc
    /dev/sdc:
    setting Advanced Power Management level to 0xfe (254)
    HDIO_DRIVE_CMD failed: Input/output error
    APM_level = not supported
    I tried other values also and its always the same error.
    I just did another try with -y and the drive stayed in standby during ±40 minutes this time. The most annoying part is that is something that was not happening before I am pretty sure that it would stay in standby for days.
    I also included my results for hdparm -I.:

  • Logical standby and Primary keys

    Hi All,
    Why primary keys are essential for creating logical standby database? I have created a logical standby database on testing basis without having primary keys on most of the tables and it's working fine. I have not event put my main DB in force logging mode.

    I have not event put my main DB in force logging mode. This is because, redo log files or standby redo logfiles transforms into set of sql statements to update logical standby.
    Have you done any DML operations with nologging options and do you notice any errors in the alert.log? I just curious to know.
    But I wanted to know that, while system tablespace in hot backup mode,In the absence of both a primary key and a nonnull unique constraint/index, all columns of bounded size are logged as part of the UPDATE statement to identify the modified row. In other words, all columns except those with the following types are logged: LONG, LOB, LONG RAW, object type, and collections.

  • Logical standby and truncate partition

    Hi,
    I'm evaluation whether a logical standby database would meet our needs.
    We have a live database and want a reporting database that is identical to the live one, just minutes behind in time to the live one, plus we want to create other summary tables etc on the reporting db.
    Logical standby seems to meet our needs but I have one query.
    - On the live db the most of the tables are organized by date partitions and only 5 days are kept with new partitions being created every night for the forthcoming days and the oldest date partitions being truncated.
    On the reporting database we want to keep 30 days partitions.
    Can we have all the DDL and DML from live being applied to the standby APART from the specific truncate partition statements?
    Many Thanks,
    Kailas

    Addendum.
    If you can , it is better to truncate the partition but not drop it, after exporting the partition for archive purposes. If you ever need to bring the data back, the data will go into the correct partition . If the table structure has been changed by adding or lengthening columns, this will still work OK where column names match.
    Test ease of restoration of archived data to existing and non-existing partitions with altered structure (dropped columns,added columns, renamed columns) for yourself though.
    Regards, Vin.
    PS. When splitting maxdata partition to create new 'highest' partition, use a small initial extent then the 'next' being the expected real size needed. When the partition is truncated, the only space that should remain un-claimable will be that allocated for the initial extent.

  • Logical Standby Database in NOARCHIVE Mode

    Hi,
    I have configured a Logical Standby Database for Reporting purposes. A Physical Standby Database is running for MAA. i.e. in case of Role Transition (switch/Failover) the Physical Stdby Db will get the role of the Primary.
    The logical standby database is creating a lot of Archive Redologs files, nearly every minute. Redolog files are 50MB and there is no work done in db during the time. I'm NOT using Standby Redolog files.
    Is there a need for logical standby database to be in NOARCHIVELOG mode? The Primary is definatley in ARCHIVELOG mode.
    Thanks for any responses.
    regards
    Sahba

    hi,
    well there are two things to the above:-
    1. there was an archive file nearly every minute:
    this is due to a db recovery. for some reason, the db was in inconsistent state, after a sudden shutdownof the OS. I was on a test environment, on windows vista, unfortunately. unimportant ... a reboot solved it.
    2. Logical standby db in NOARCHIVE MODE when setup for the purpose of Reporting.
    As long as the MAA configured for the primary db, such as physical standby db, and a second, the logical standby db setup purely for the purpose of reporting, which then can run with NOARCHIVELOG mode, after converting the physical standby db to logical.
    logical standby db uses Streams architecture, so this method brings cost, time and performance advantages to the customer.
    regards
    Sahba

  • Create a standby logical database in 10g

    Hi,
    My OS is Windows 2003, using oracle 10g software.. I want to know steps to create a logical standby database from primary database? I read the Dataguard concepts and administration guide, its confusing where it says to add the roles for primary and standby database in init.ora file? Could someone please provide steps to configure...
    Thank you.

    If you need the entire database to a single location ... use Data Guard.
    If you need to specify tables, columns, schemas, rules, and are in a
    publish-subscribe situation use Streams.
    Both are share a common architecture.
    refer this for comparison,

  • Best practice on using Flashback and Logical Standby

    Hello,
    I'm testing a fail-back scenario where I first need to activate a logical standby, then do some dummy transactions before I flashback this db and resme the redo apply. Here is what the steps look like:
    1)     Ensure logical standby is in-sync with primary
    2)     Enable flashback on standby
    3)     Create a flashback guaranteed restore point
    4)     Defer log shipping from primary
    5)     Activate the logical standby so it’s fully open to read-write
    6)     Dummy activities against the standby (which is now fully open)
    7)     Flashback the database to the guaranteed checkpoint
    8)     Resume log shipping on primary
    9)     Resume redo apply on secondary
    In the end, i can see the log shipping is happening but the logical standby does not apply any of these..and there is no error in the alert log on Standby side. But the following query could explains why the standby is idle:
    SELECT TYPE, HIGH_SCN, STATUS FROM V$LOGSTDBY;
    TYPE HIGH_SCN STATUS
    COORDINATOR ORA-16240: Waiting for log file (thread# 2, sequence# 0)
    ORA-16240: Waiting for log file (thread# string, sequence# string)
    Cause: Process is idle waiting for additional log file to be available.
    Action: No action necessary. This informational statement is provided to record the event for diagnostic purposes.
    I dont understand why it's looking for sequence #0 after the flashback.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Logical standby in noarchive mode

    Hello,
    does anybody know if it is possible to run a logical standby (10gR2) in noarchivelog mode?
    For my understanding it should be possible, why not... But I can't find a piece of documentation which prove this.
    Thanks in advance,
    Boris...

    I also was curious if setting up a Logical Standby in noarchivelog mode was possible. It looks like it is...
    We use this simply as a reporting copy of our data. Our analysts do not change any of this data. They just need it to be fairly current (~3 days). At this point, there isn't any need to generate archivelogs so we want to disable the feature to minimize our maintenance and our storage requirements.

    Error 1017 received logging on to the standby
    Check that the primary and standby are using a password file
    and remote_login_passwordfile is set to SHARED or EXCLUSIVE,
    and that the SYS password is same in the password files.
    returning error ORA-16191
    It may be necessary to define the DB_ALLOWED_LOGON_VERSION
    initialization parameter to the value "10". Check the
    manual for information on this initialization parameter.

  • What is the diffrence between ' Contolfile ' and ' Standby Controlfile' ???

    Hi Guru's,
    Can someone please help me out with the diffrences between a 'Control File' and 'Standby Controlfile'.
    Thanks in advance

    Kind of reply you can always expect from Sybrand...anyways...the controlfile of any production database would always be having a bit in itself which identifies a database as a primary or a standby database, so whenever you try to query select database_role from v$database; for any production database it would always give output as PRIMARY and for a standby it would always give output as PHYSICAL STANDBY..Hope it clears your doubts
