Oracle 12c Release 2 New Features for Active Data Guard

Hi,
At Oracle Open World 2016 I collected the main improvements and changes
  are going to be implemented in Oracle Database 12 Release 2:

1.       Data Guard Creation with dbca, support automatic creation of Standby database and Far Sync instance  not for RAC (at this point)
command:
dbca -silent -createDuplicateDB
    -PrimartDBConnectionString myprymary.domin:1523/chicago.domain
    -gdbName chicago.domain -sid boston
    -initParams instance_name=boston -createAsStandby
    -customScripts /tmp/test.sql
2.       Multi-Instance Redo Apply, Parallel, multi-instance recovery - when standby is RAC, all of its instances will use the MRP0 process for applying
3.       Supports Diagnostic Pack on Active Data Guard
 AWR+ADDM Reports for Standby are kept in the Primary
4.       Supports Tuning Pack and SQL Plan Analyzer
5.       Fast Failover - Data Guard take over session draining (switchover to dallas_dr wait;)
  Read-only sessions connected to Active Data Guard
a.       Remain connected during the failover/switchover
b.       Become Read/Write after Active Data Guard becomes the primary
6.       Password file is managed and transported via the Redo mechanizm
7.       Alternate prioritization - you will be able to group some destinations and give them a priority over some other destinations. This enable you to decide what will happen when the main destination is back (failback)
8.       Support In-Memory Column Store - redo data contain all the information needed for the standby to benefit from the In-Memory Column Store feature.

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. Dataguard configuration Show the environment DGMGRL> show configuration Configuration - dr   Protection Mode: MaxAvailability   Members:   pdb7 - Primary database     fdb7 - Far sync instance       sdb7 - Physical standby database Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED Configuration Status: SUCCESS   (status updated 351 seconds ago) Show detailed information of the Primary
