Create a Duplicate (Auxiliary) Oracle database on same host with RMAN

Create a Duplicate (Auxiliary) Oracle database on same host with RMAN

orcl database up and running


main database name = orcl
Auxiliary database name= dupli


export ORACLE_SID=dupli
first create passpword file

go to following location
cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/

then create password file
orapwd file=orapwdupli password=manager entries=5 force=y




Location of the file would be

cd $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/

then create listener.ora file

LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.2.251)(PORT = 1521))
)
)

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = orcl)
(ORACLE_HOME = /opt/app/oracle/product/10.2/db)
(SID_NAME = orcl)
)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = dupli)
(ORACLE_HOME = /opt/app/oracle/product/10.2/db)
(SID_NAME = dupli)
)
)




then create tnsnames.ora file

Location of the file would be

cd $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/


orcl =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.2.251)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
)
)

dupli =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.2.251)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = dupli)
)
)




create init ora file for dupli instance

Creating a physical standby database on same host

Are you sure you want to delete this post?
Creating a physical standby database on same host

Creating a physical standby database on same host

Oracle provides two types of standby databases:


1. Physical Standby Database


Archived redo log transferred from primary database will be directly applied to the standby database.

2. Logical Standby Database

we create SQL statements then these statements will be applied to stand by database.
The key advantage for logical standby databases is that they're opened read/write, even while they're in applied mode

It is important to identify unsupported database objects on the primary database before you create a logical standby database.
This is because changes made to unsupported datatypes, table, sequences,
or views on the primary database will not be propagated to
the logical standby database. Moreover, no error message will be returned.

SELECT DISTINCT OWNER,TABLE_NAME FROM DBA_LOGSTDBY_UNSUPPORTED ORDER BY OWNER,TABLE_NAME;

SELECT COLUMN_NAME,DATA_TYPE FROM DBA_LOGSTDBY_UNSUPPORTED WHERE OWNER='XXX' AND TABLE_NAME = 'XXXXX';



==================

We are creating physical standby database on same host

orcl instance is up and running on archive log mode .

MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY is another ‘no-data-loss’ protection mode. It can be argued that it can be placed somewhere between the ‘no-data-loss’ and ‘minimal-data-loss’ category. The setup of maximum availability protection is the same as maximum protection. In MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY mode, the primary database does not halt if it cannot transmit redo data to at least one participating standby database. During this period the protection mode is switched to MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE, the lowest level of data protection.

When Data Guard is in MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE mode, data can potentially be lost if the primary database crashes and the redo logs have not been transferred to any archival destination. The protection mode is upgraded to MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY on next log switch if the log transfer service has resumed transmission of the redo data to at least one RAC Grid participating in maximum availability configuration and all the archive gap sequences have been resolved.

* The redo data generated by a transaction need not have been received at a destination that has the ASYNC attribute before that

* FAL_CLIENT specifies the TNS network services name for the standby database (which is sent to the FAL server process by log apply services) that should be used by the FAL server process to connect to the standby database. The syntax would be:

FAL_CLIENT=

* FAL_SERVER specifies the TNS network service name that the standby database should use to connect to the FAL server
process. The syntax would be:

FAL_SERVER=

Note that the value provided for FAL_SERVER is not limited to defining only one FAL server; it can define multiple FAL servers (possible a FAL server that is running on another standby database) that are separated by commas as in the following example:

FAL_SERVER=primary_db,standby_db2

FAL server is a background process that is generally located on the primary database server (however it can also be found on
another standby database). FAL server is responsible for servicing incoming requests from the FAL client.

When the LGWR or ARC process on the primary initiates a connection with the standby, the standby listener responds by spawning a process called the remote file server (RFS). The RFS process will create a network connection with the processes on the primary and will sit waiting for data to arrive. Once data begins arriving from the primary, the RFS process will place it into either standby redo logs or archive redo logs. You should think of standby redo logs as exact twins to online redo logs, except for the fact that they are only active when a database is in the standby role. In essence, they are just a separate pool of redo logs. The RFS process will pick the first available standby redo log and begin placing changes into that log. When a log switch occurs on the primary, we switch standby redo logs and the RFS process will go to the next available standby redo log. The standby redo log that we were into prior to the log switch will be archived by the standby database and that archive will be applied by log apply services. Standby redo logs are wonderful things, and Oracle highly recommends that you use them. If you plan on setting one of the higher-level protection modes or plan on using real-time apply , the use of standby redo logs is mandatory.



Register a missing log file

alter database register physical logfile '';

Creating a physical standby database on same host

Creating a physical standby database on same host

Oracle provides two types of standby databases:


1. Physical Standby Database


Archived redo log transferred from primary database will be directly applied to the standby database.

2. Logical Standby Database

we create SQL statements then these statements will be applied to stand by database.
The key advantage for logical standby databases is that they're opened read/write, even while they're in applied mode

It is important to identify unsupported database objects on the primary database before you create a logical standby database.
This is because changes made to unsupported datatypes, table, sequences,
or views on the primary database will not be propagated to
the logical standby database. Moreover, no error message will be returned.

SELECT DISTINCT OWNER,TABLE_NAME FROM DBA_LOGSTDBY_UNSUPPORTED ORDER BY OWNER,TABLE_NAME;

SELECT COLUMN_NAME,DATA_TYPE FROM DBA_LOGSTDBY_UNSUPPORTED WHERE OWNER='XXX' AND TABLE_NAME = 'XXXXX';

If you plan on setting one of the higher-level protection modes or plan on using real-time apply , the use of standby redo logs is mandatory.



Register a missing log file

alter database register physical logfile '';


If FAL doesn't work and it says the log is already registered

alter database register or replace physical logfile '';

alter database register or replace physical logfile '';



If that doesn't work, try this...

shutdown immediate
startup nomount
alter database mount standby database;
alter database recover automatic standby database;


==

Disable/Enable archive log destinations

alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2 = 'defer';
alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2 = 'enable';



SQL> SELECT PROCESS, CLIENT_PROCESS, SEQUENCE#, STATUS FROM V$MANAGED_STANDBY;

Issue the following query to show information about the protection mode, the protection level, the role of the database, and switchover status:


set linesize 200
col DATABASE_ROLE format a20
col INSTANCE format a10
col OPEN_MODE format a15
col PROTECTION_MODE format a20
col PROTECTION_LEVEL format a20
col SWITCHOVER_STATUS format a20

SELECT DATABASE_ROLE, DB_UNIQUE_NAME INSTANCE, OPEN_MODE,PROTECTION_MODE, PROTECTION_LEVEL, SWITCHOVER_STATUS FROM V$DATABASE;


DATABASE_ROLE INSTANCE OPEN_MODE PROTECTION_MODE PROTECTION_LEVEL SWITCHOVER_STATUS
-------------------- ---------- --------------- -------------------- -------------------- --------------------
PRIMARY cccdb READ WRITE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE SESSIONS ACTIVE



Determining Which Log Files Were Not Received by the Standby Site

issue the following query on the primary database:



SQL> SELECT LOCAL.THREAD#, LOCAL.SEQUENCE# FROM
(SELECT THREAD#, SEQUENCE# FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG WHERE DEST_ID=1) LOCAL
WHERE LOCAL.SEQUENCE# NOT IN
(SELECT SEQUENCE# FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG WHERE DEST_ID=2 AND
THREAD# = LOCAL.THREAD#);

THREAD# SEQUENCE#
---------- ----------
1 12
1 13
1 14





See how up to date a physical standby is Run this on the primary

set numwidth 15
select max(sequence#) current_seq from v$log
/

Then run this on the standby

set numwidth 15
select max(applied_seq#) last_seq from v$archive_dest_status
/



Display info about all log destinations To be run on the primary

set lines 100
set numwidth 15

Check which logs are missing Run this on the standby...

select local.thread#

where dest_id=1) local
where local.sequence# not in

Oracles statistics for CBO ( Gathering statistics )

Optimizer statistics for use by the Cost Based Optimizer (CBO)

To achieve a quick delete and recreate of the statistics on an individual table and it's indexes
(adding column statistics for any skewed columns)

for delete

exec dbms_stats.delete_table_stats(ownname=>'user_name',tabname=>'table_name',cascade_indexes=>true);


exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(ownname=>'user_name',-
tabname=>'table_name',-
estimate_percent => 100,-
cascade=>true,-
method_opt=>'for all columns size skewonly');

generate statistics with as much statistical accuracy as possible,100% sample sizes are suggested since any reduction in sample size is always a concession to accuracy

100% samples are potentially time consuming and consideration needs to be made to fit the statistics gathering activities within the existing maintenance window

exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats( -
ownname => ' Schema_name ', -
tabname => ' Table_name ', -
estimate_percent => 100, -
cascade => TRUE, -
method_opt => 'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE 1' );

method_opt

ESTIMATE_PERCENT: defaults:

9i : "FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE 1" effectively no detailed column statistics.
10g : DBMS_STATS.AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE (using very small estimate percentage)
11g : DBMS_STATS.AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE (using larger estimate percentage - 100%)


For cases where column data is known to be skewed and column statistics are known to be beneficial, Replace:
method_opt => 'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE 1'
with
method_opt => 'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE AUTO'
or with
method_opt => 'FOR ALL COLUMNS SIZE SKEWONLY'
