Rolling Forward a Physical Standby Database Using the RECOVER FROM SERVICE


Hi
Since Oracle 12c we can recover standby only by accessing the standby database/site, no need to copy nor transfer any file
Short and easy - just copy and paste
enjoy :)

Standby Database Name: STBY
Primary Database Name: PRIM

On Standby
sqlplus / as sysdba
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
STARTUP NOMOUNT;
ALTER DATABASE MOUNT STANDBY DATABASE;
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;

rman target /
RECOVER DATABASE FROM SERVICE PRIM USING COMPRESSED BACKUPSET NOREDO SECTION SIZE 120M;

sqlplus / as sysdba
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
STARTUP NOMOUNT;

rman target /
RESTORE STANDBY CONTROLFILE FROM SERVICE PRIM;

sqlplus / as sysdba
ALTER DATABASE MOUNT STANDBY DATABASE;

rman target /
CATALOG START WITH '+DATA/STBY/DATAFILE/';
SWITCH DATABASE TO COPY;

sqlplus / as sysdba
set pages 0 verify off feed off term off echo off
spool /tmp/clear.sql
select distinct 'ALTER DATABASE CLEAR LOGFILE GROUP '||GROUP#||';' as cmd from v$logfile;
spool off
@/tmp/clear.sql
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;

For Oracle 11g there is a longer version, see Steps to perform for Rolling Forward a Physical Standby Database using RMAN Incremental Backup. (Doc ID 836986.1)

Silent Installation

Some times there are problems using installation with GUI, the reason can be: 1. Firewall 2. Unix security 3. Client software (missing or not working( and maybe some more reasons If your environment is cooperative helping you solve this - it is simple - go for it. But if you are on your own and can't reach "the right guys" - do it yourself " Silently " Look for the proper response file fits for your needs in /database/response/ Edit it and run the following command: $ ./runInstaller -force -invPtrLoc /oraInst.loc -silent -noconfig -ignoreSysPrereqs -responseFile /database/response/enterprise.rsp You can also run the installer without a response file as mentioned in Metalink Note 782918.1 $ ./runInstaller -silent -force -debug \ FROM_LOCATION="/mount/dvd/database/stage/products.xml" \ ORACLE_HOME="/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1" \ ORACLE_HOME_NAME="Ora11gDb1" ORACLE_BASE="/u01/app/oracle" \ TOPLEVEL_COMPONENT='{&q

Data Guard - Changing IP Addresses

Image
When changing IP of a host we should update/recheck the following places: /etc/hosts or DNS listener.ora tnsnames.ora Database parameters (local_listener, remote_listener) Data Guard configuration This document is also relevant when changing the IP address of the connection between the hosts, other than the original IP addresses we used during the installation. When installation is done using the hostname and not the IP address, most of the changes are not relevant except for /etc/hosts. In this document, I will describe how to change the Data Guard Broker configuration.
