Enabling Archiving on primary DB:

Ensure that the primary is in archive log mode
SQL>shutdown immediate
SQL>startup mount;
SQL>alter database archivelog;
SQL>alter database open;
tnsnames/listener.ora configuration:
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File:
/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db10g/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
STNDBY =

Copy the same file to the standby server and adjust it based on the
listener.ora file. Also update the listener.ora file so that it listen the SIDs
mentioned in the tnsnames.ora file.

Standby Redo Logs (SLRs) Creation:

In case of OMF:
Get the max group# of online redo logs on PRIMARY database
SELECT max (group#) from v$logfile;
Create the standby redo logs on the primary database with the same size of that
of online redo logs. If the above query retuns the value of 3 and each logfile is
50M in size (from the below query) then, create atleast 4standby redo logs of the
size of 50M per thread.
SELECT byte from v$log;
Create the SRL's :
ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE GROUP 4 SIZE 50M

/

/
/
Backup the primary DB:

Take a cold/Hot/RMAN backup of the primary database. I used the cold backup in
this case.
SQL>SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE
Backup the datafiles, online redologs and the standby logs if created and scp to
the standby server in the corrosponding directory. I used the same directory
structure as that with primary.
The only differece was the name of the direcory. For e.g,
On primary database, I have a path of /u01/app/oracle/oradata/PRIMARY/datafile

whereas
On standby server, I have a path of
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/STNDBY/datafile,
This is the reason, I have used the db_file_name_convert parameter in the

primary init.ora file with the value of
db_file_name_convert=’PRIMARY’,’STNDBY’
and in the standby init.ora file with the value of
db_file_name_convert=’STNDBY’, ‘PRIMARY’
Create the Standby Controlfile:

On Primary Database:
SQL>STARTUP MOUNT;
SQL>ALTER DATABASE CREATE STANDBY CONTROLFILE AS '/tmp/stndby01.ctl';
SQL>ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
scp the stndby01.ctl file to the standby site. I have multiplexed it in the
initstndby.ora file. So I SCPed the same file to both the locations mentioned in the
initstndby.ora file.
Also, SCPed the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapwprimary file of the primary to the
same location on the standby with the name of orapwstndby.
Starting and Verifying the standby DB:

SQL>create spfile from pfile;
SQL>STARTUP MOUNT;
SQL>ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE USING CURRENT LOGFILE
DISCONNECT;
Verify the Standby :
- Identify the existing files on the standby
SQL> SELECT SEQUENCE#, FIRST_TIME, NEXT_TIME

FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG ORDER BY SEQUENCE#;
Switch a log on the primary database:
SQL>ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE;

- Re-Run the same SQL to make sure that the logs are received and applied to
the standby server.
Verify that these logs were applied :
SELECT SEQUENCE#,APPLIED FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG

ORDER BY SEQUENCE#;
Testing Realtime Apply:

On Primary Database : create a table 'test' and insert a record.
INSERT INTO test VALUES (sysdate);

COMMIT;
Do not make a log switch because I set up the LGWR ASYNC option so that
The redo should be transferred and applied to the standby server in real time.
On the STANDBY DB server:
SELECT PROCESS, STATUS,SEQUENCE#,BLOCK#,BLOCKS, DELAY_MINS FROM

V$MANAGED_STANDBY;
ALTER DATABASER RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;

ALTER DATABASE OPEN READ ONLY;
SELECT * FROM test;
You should see the commited transaction.
Place the standby back in managed recover mode
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE USING CURRENT LOGFILE

DISCONNECT;
This will take the standby directly from read only mode and place it in managed
recovery mode.
