Standby server archive location

Hi
I have created physical standby on windows 32 bit (9.2.0.6)
The archives are shiipped to ORACLE_HOME\rdbms
Even tough i have give a separate location for the archives in my pfile
can some one help me in this regard
Regards

Hi,
it would help if you show the parameter you have set that does not work as you expected.
Well it has been a while since a dealt with 9i standby databases, but in an old initialization file for the standby db I have
log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=E:\PHYST\ARCHIVE'
standby_archive_dest='E:\PHYST\STBY_ARCHThe first destination gets used if the standby DB becomes primary. The second destination gets used for the archived logfiles shipped from the present primary.
Kind regards

Archived log to standby server stopped

Hi,
I configured dataguard standby server few weeks ago,
I set log_archive_dest_2='SERVICE=JHRD0107_OFS1 OPTIONAL'
and log_archive_dest_state=ENABLE in primary server,
and very go fine until yesterday, I shutdown my standby server and set the log_archive_dest_state=DEFER,
when I tried to startup again the standby server, and set log_archive_dest_state=ENABLE again,
the archive stop sending the archived log to log_archive_dest_2.
No error was found in alert log of primary and standby server.
It seem that the primary server don't know there is another archive destination..
The database version is 10g 10.2.0.4
Anyone what could be the cause of this?
Thanks

Standby database archive log apply in production server.

Dear All,
How I apply standby database archive log apply in production server.
Please help me.
Thanks,
Manas

How can i use standby database as primary for that 48 hour ?Perform a switchover (role transitions).
First check if the standby is in sync with the primary database.
Primary database:
sql>select max(sequence#) from v$archived_log; ---> Value AStandby database:
sql>select max(sequence#) from v$archived_log where applied='YES'; -----> Value BCheck if Value B is same as Value A.
If the standby is in sycn with the primary database, then perform the switchover operation (refer the below link)

How do you change the Event Viewer archive location in Server 2008 R2?

We're wanting to redirect the security and system event viewer logs to the D:\ on a Server 2008 R2 box
We've got the current logs to save there, however all archived system/security logs are still being saved on the c:\ in their default location in %windir%\system32... and killing the OS partition.
I can write something up in PoSh and schedule it, but I'd rather use any built-in capabilities first...
I've taken a peek in the HKLM\Services\CurrentControlSet... hive where the event viewer behavior is configured and do not see an option to set a path for the archive location...

Unfortunately, you cannot customize the location of archived event logs in Windows. The logs will always be archived to %windir%\system32\Winevt\Logs\Archive-xxxxxx
There'd be some scripts can help you automatically archived logs to another location. You can find them here: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/site/search?f%5B0%5D.Type=RootCategory&f%5B0%5D.Value=security

Will RMAN delete archive log files on a Standby server?

Environment:
Oracle 11.2.0.3 EE on Solaris 10.5
I am currently NOT using an RMAN repository (coming soon).
I have a Primary database sending log files to a Standby.
My Retention Policy is set to 'RECOVERY WINDOW OF 8 DAYS'.
Question: Will RMAN delete the archive log files on the Standby server after they become obsolete based on the Retention Policy or do I need to remove them manually via O/S command?
Does the fact that I'm NOT using an RMAN Repository at the moment make a difference?
Couldn't find the answer in the docs.
Thanks very much!!
-gary

Hello again Gary;
Sorry for the delay.
Why is what you suggested better?
No, its not better, but I prefer to manage the archive. This method works, period.
Does that fact (running a backup every 4 hours) make my archivelog deletion policy irrelevant?
No. The policy is important.
Having the Primary set to :
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBYBut set to "NONE" on the Standby.
Means the worst thing that can happen is RMAN will bark when you try to delete something. ( this is a good thing )
How do I prevent the archive backup process from backing up an archive log file before it gets shipped to the standby?
Should be a non-issue, the archive does not move, the REDO is transported and applied. There's SQL to monitor both ( Transport and Apply )
For Data Guard I would consider getting a copy of
"Oracle Data Guard 11g Handbook" - Larry Carpenter (AKA Dr. Paranoid ) ISBN 978-0-07-162111-2
Best Oracle book I've read in 10 years. Covers a ton of ground clearly.

Best method for archiving .mpp files on a separate server or location?

We want to be able to run a program or job on Project Server 2013 that will export all current published project .mpp files to a separate server or location on our network. What is the best, or suggested, method for something like this? Our managers want
to have this job run on a weekly or bi-monthly basis in order to have backup files of each active project schedule. This would be beyond the Project Server archive database. This would be for Business Continuity purposes of having those schedules available
should our servers ever crash.
Any help would be much appreciated. I am not a developer, but if there is code available for something like this we have developers in-house that can perform the work.
Thank you,
Travis
Travis Long IT Project Manager Entry Idaho Power Co. Project Server Admin

Project server already has an archiving mechanism which backs up project plans based on schedule and maitains versions of it which can be restored at any point ? check administrative backup in central Admin under PWA settings
However I wouldn't say this is the best method, but you can run a macro which would export all projects and save it at a location(could be network file share), Something like this (havent tested it recently with 2013 but i believe should work
Sub Archiving()
Dim Conn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim Cmd As New ADODB.Command
Dim Recs As New ADODB.Recordset
'Connect to Project Server Reporting DB, Get Project Names
Conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=servername;Initial Catalog=ProjectServer_Reporting;User ID=; Password=; Trusted_Connection=yes"
Conn.Open
With Cmd
    .ActiveConnection = Conn
    .CommandText = "Select ProjectName From MSP_EpmProject_UserView"
    .CommandType = adCmdText
End With
With Recs
    .CursorType = adOpenStatic
    .CursorLocation = adUseClient
    .LockType = adLockOptimistic
    .Open Cmd
End With
Dim prjName As String
Dim ArchivePrjName As String
Application.Alerts (False)
If Recs.EOF = False Then
   Recs.MoveFirst
   For x = 1 To CInt(Recs.RecordCount)
    prjName = "<>\" + Recs.Fields(0)
    FileOpenEx Name:=prjName, ReadOnly:=True
    ArchivePrjName = "C:\Temp\" & prjName & "4Sep2014_9PM"
    FileSaveAs Name:=ArchivePrjName, FormatID:="MSProject.MPP"
    FileCloseEx
    prjName = ""
    Recs.MoveNext
   Next x
End If
   Recs.Close
   Conn.Close
End Sub
Let us know if this helps

Creating Standby server ---- Flash archive/Alternate Boot Environment.

Dear All,
I want to patch upgrade the Centralized login server which holds more than 200 users. To avoid this production outage during the downtime of upgradation, we are planning to create all the logins and application in the alternate server manually. But i feel (lazy) hesitate to create logins and copy the applications in the statndby server. Since "chpasswd" is not in solaris, i can't copy the /etc/passwd & shadow file to standby server.
So i have the plan to achieve this by
i) creating flash archive of existing login server
ii) Creating Alternate boot environment in the standby server and flash restore the archive in it.
Whether the above mentioned plan is achievable, how to create the entire flash archive of solaris os?? and how to deploy it in the alternate boot environment.?
Regards,
Siva

Done, I've given the same path in Standby Database [datafiles, controlfiles] as it has been given in the Primary Database.
MoreOver, I m manually switching logfiles at primary database [alter system switch logfile] they are copied and applied sucessfully at standby database. But the archived files that I have copied with cold backup are not applied yet. Infact they are not retrieved executing the below query.
select name, applied from v$archived_log;
How can I apply those archived logs? [archives that copied with cold backup]
Regards.

Discussion: File CC Transport. Setting location of Folder, Server, Archive

Dear Experts,
I want to open a discussion.
This is not something technical but rather to be more managerial.
- When we transport the objects in Integration Builder to another server (like from DEV to QA), who do you think should be responsible to activate the transported objects? Will it be the basis guy or the development guy?
If the Basis how can they find which object to be activated easily? Is it from the change list? Because the Basis guy usually does not know about the objects, he is just given the TR and then transports it.
- This is a similar question but this is related to the File Communication Channel. Because when we transport the file communication channel we need to re-configure the filename, location, archive location, FTP server, username and password (for object has not been transported before).
Who do you think should re-configure that?
Any opinion is appreciated.
Thank you,
Suwandi C.

Hi,
I use the file transport mechanism.
I've been trying to configure the CTS+, but fails as I've read from the following document:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20ccd0ec-2839-2b10-0097-
828fcd8ed809?overridelayout=true
In Chapter 2 it is stated that
"Please keep in mind that the CTS+ Close Coupling integration is only available for SAP NetWeaver
Process Integration 7.1 starting of SP06.
If you have older Patch Levels, only the loose coupling via File Export and upload of Non-ABAP
objects to a CTS+ communication system exists. "
Since I'm using the PI 7.1 SP04, I guess I have no other choice but to use the File transport mechanism.
So then, I have no choice instead of having the basis guy to activate and configure CC when transporting the PI Objects in Integration Builder.
EDIT:
I've just doing some reseach and it seems that only the close couping for SAP PI available starting at version 7.1 SP06, For older version the loose coupling CTS by uploading the non-ABAP object to the TR is still possible. Is this correct?
https://help.sap.com/saphelp_ctsplug20sm71/helpdata/en/09/734a27116b4f6185e072df4e8332fa/content.htm
https://help.sap.com/saphelp_ctsplug20sm71/helpdata/en/f5/6a5c15357b4db19fb07f5ee1a97472/content.htm
If this is correct, I need more insights of how this work. Will it work like this:
PI Developer will chose the PI Objects to be transported and export the objects to a *.tpz file (using the file system mechanism). PI Developer will then attach the file system to a TR from the ABAP TCode SE09. TR will be given to the Basis guy to be transported. Once Transported the PI Objects in Integration Directory will be based by the Developer user ID because it is using the CTS mechanism transport.
is that correct?
Thank you,
Suwandi C.

Hi,
I've seen that, if the following message persists for a long time, then it is an ERROR.
FAL[client]: Failed to request gap sequence GAP - thread 1 sequence 17857-17863 DBID 3371425568 branch 681431456 FAL[client]: All defined FAL servers have been attempted.
The possibility is that log shipping of 17857 is stuck. It is not stuck because of any network disconnect, as it is in the case you mentioned. It is probably due to the following.
The parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1 on standby is set as L:\ORACLE\A30\ORAARCH\A30ARCH\ARC and STANDBY_ARCHIVE_DEST is also set to L:\ORACLE\A30\ORAARCH\A30ARCH\ARC. When a GAP is identified, standby database tries to pull the missing files FROM PRIMARY, and the in turn when you enable standby destination on primary (log_archive_dest_state_2 = enabled), it starts shipping logfiles on its OWN.
When such a situation occurs in a system when archived logs are generated at a high rate, it can happen that the file which standby is trying to pull is being pushed/already pushed by primary database. Then a conflict arise, and standby deletes the file and tries to pull it again...this may go on in a loop. (because the locations are SAME).
When i had this issue, I maintained different locations for LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1 and STANDBY_ARCHIVE_DEST on standby database. After this is done, you will find that the logs shipped by primary are written in STANDBY_ARCHIVE_DEST. The file written in this location will be used by the standby database only when you do a managed recovery. If you are doing a manual recovery by issuing the command RECOVER STANDBY DATABASE; then, the stanbdby database will check if the file exists in LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1.
The point is, when there is BIG gap, then you have the option of doing the following procedure.
1. On the primary database keep LOG_ARCHIVE DESTSTATE_2 = enable
2. On the standby ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL.
3. Copy the missing archive logs sequence from the primary to standby's LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1 and perform manual recovery on standby untill the gap is over.
4. issue the command ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT to start managed recovery. ( This will use the files present in STANDBY_ARCHIVE_DEST ).
Hope the above procedure helps.
Note: If the GAP is not that big and you see that last applied log is advancing, then conflict is not there...standby will automatically fill the GAP. But it is advised to maintain different location for the parameters i mentioned.
Regards,
Anish

Standby Server

Hi All
I have oracle 9i DB.
I want to make a (standby server) in diffrent location, which is a mirror of my current server for the first time,
then I want to send a batch to update it once aday.
in case of any damage of the current server I will connect to the (standby server).
what is the right way to make this plan?
I am thinking of use RMAN , but how ?!?!?!?! (any help doc)
Are there a better way ?
Another Question :
I use the (Archive log) in my DB, for now I am using EXP from my backup,
I don't think that we need Archive log once we use EXP for all data, How to stop working with archive log?
thanx in advance

I don't think that we need Archive log once we use EXP for all dataYeah, go on with NOARGIVELOG mode if and only if you want to loose data. And don't reply you don't want, because the only way to preserve data is to have a backup and archivelog files from backup time to "now". If you're trusting export for your backups I'd advise you to get back to TFM, for your data's sake.
I am thinking of use RMAN , but howIf you want to create a standby database, just look there: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96566/rcmstand.htm#1004466
And use DataGuard for the synch of the databases. Or maybe are you planning to clone the whole server? If so, did you take in account the time take by a restore in case the main server crashes? etc?
DR is not an easy stuff. If you describe what you want to achieve, we will be able to give advice, not if you only ask widely open questions!
Regards,
Yoann.

Logical standby server stopped applying changes

Hi
I set up a logical standby database with database guard and it worked fine for some time. But recently I had to use it again and discovered that applying changes from primary database to secondary database just stopped working. I see in V$ARCHIVED_LOG one entry per day. If I restart the logical standby then the changes from primary server are also applied. But if I just make a change on primary server and even call 'alter system switch logfile' then I see an entry in V$ARCHIVED_LOG on primary server but not on standby server (BTW in general there are much more entries in this view on the primary server). I checked pairs of log files indicated by the parameter *.log_file_name_convert in standby server's spfile: their last changed date is always the same.
I will paste spfile of my standby server (dh5). Primary server name is dh2.

Hi,
Nice to hear you issue got resolved.
It is good practice to keep monitoring the progress of SQL apply on the logical standby on a regular basis.
You can mark my response as helpful if it has helped you.

Standby database Archive log destination confusion

Hi All,
I need your help here..
This is the first time that this situation is arising. We had sync issues in the oracle 10g standby database prior to this archive log destination confusion.So we rebuilt the standby to overcome this sync issue. But ever since then the archive logs in the standby database are moving to two different locations.
The spfile entries are provided below:
*.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=/m99/oradata/MARDB/archive/'
*.standby_archive_dest='/m99/oradata/MARDB/standby'
Prior to rebuilding the standby databases the archive logs were moving to /m99/oradata/MARDB/archive/ location which is the correct location. But now the archive logs are moving to both /m99/oradata/MARDB/archive/ and /m99/oradata/MARDB/standby location, with the majority of them moving to /m99/oradata/MARDB/standby location. This is pretty unusual.
The archives in the production are moving to /m99/oradata/MARDB/archive/ location itself.
Could you kindly help me overcome this issue.
Regards,
Dan

Hi Anurag,
Thank you for update.
Prior to rebuilding the standby database the standby_archive_dest was set as it is. No modifications were made to the archive destination locations.
The primary and standby databases are on different servers and dataguard is used to transfer the files.
I wanted to highlight one more point here, The archive locations are similar to the ones i mentioned for the other stndby databases. But the archive logs are moving only to /archive location and not to the /standby location.

Oracle 10gR2 Data guard physical or logical standby server?

Hi
We are planing to implement an Oracle 10gR2 data guard standby server for DR purposes, I found out that there are two type of standby server which is logical and physical standby server. I want to know which one is preferable? in term of complexity of setup and maintenance?
regards

Well it depends on what you mean by maintenance. I found the physical standby to be very little trouble at all ; however the logical standby has restrictions on it that the physical standby does not. In essence the physical standby merely digest archive logs; where as the logical standby uses logminer like functionality to process sql statements much like Oracle streams.
Hope that helps,

Why FRA filling faster in logical standby server.

I have two standby servers one physical and one logical for my primary database. I have notice that on logical standby server the FRA is filling faster then physical standby server. Any one have some suggestions.
Thx

That is to be expected, because the logical standby not only creates archive logs on behalf of the transmission from the primary but also generates its own archivelogs on behalf of the filling (& archiving) of the local online logfiles. If you watch a logical standby applying, you may notice that the standby logs are getting archived and the online logs as well. That is significant for a logical standby and leads to (at least temporary) higher space consumption in the recovery area. Temporary, because the applied archive logs can get deleted (automatically, if you allow that).
Kind regards
