This step can be skipped, if a standby database is already present. Dbvisit Standby can work with existing standby databases. To integrate Dbvisit Standby with an existing standby database, skip this section and go to section Dbvisit Standby commands (running or executing Dbvisit Standby). Dbvisit Standby does not distinguish between an existing standby database and a standby database created through Dbvisit Standby.Dbvisit Standby can automatically create the standby database. The standby database will reside on the standby server and is an exact binary copy of the primary database.The standby database only needs to be created once. After the standby database is created, Dbvisit Standby will automatically ensure the standby database is kept up to date with the primary database.Dbvisit Standby normally uses the network to transfer the primary database to the standby server to create the standby database. For slow networks or very large databases, use the transportable media creation method to create the standby database. The primary database will not be shutdown during standby database creation. Dbvisit Standby uses RMAN in most cases to make a backup of the primary database.
Perquisites for creating the standby database are:
- Oracle software must be installed on the standby server.
- Enough free space on the standby server must be available for the standby database.
- The Oracle background (cdump, udump, bdump etc. ) and admin directories are created.These directories can be created by Dbvisit if you choose the option to create missing filesystem directories automatically.
Dbvisit Standby allows the following options for creating the standby database: a) Regular file system standby database with i) Same structure as primary database or
ii) Different structure as primary database. b) ASM standby database (for Oracle version 10.2 and higher) with i) Same structure as primary database or
ii) Different structure as primary database. |

You can create a standby database by transferring the database files directly
to the standby server,
or by copying them to a temporary local location first. By using a temporary
location the time taken to place the database in backup mode is reduced.
If the database is very large then use a temporary location (answer No).
If either a primary or a standby database is ASM, you have to use a temporary
location (answer No).
Do you want to copy database files directly to the standby server? [Yes]:
Database files will be copied directly to the standby server: Y

=========================================================
Standby Database creation on WINDEV-02 completed.
Next steps:
1) Exit out of dbvisit_setup.
2) Run Dbvisit on this server with command:
dbvisit database_name
3) Run Dbvisit on standby server with command:
(cd E:\users\oracle\Avisit\Products\Dbvisit\Development\dbvisit\standby)
dbvisit database_name
Once Dbvisit has been tested, schedule Dbvisit on primary and standby servers
using windows "Scheduled Task" or other scheduling tool.

The example below shows how to create an ASM standby database using a temporary location to create the initial backup. Creating a standby database is performed on the primary server (primary node).
For a complete overview of creating the standby database, please see Creating Standby Databases automatically with Dbvisit Standby
1. 
Home > Setup > Create New Standby Database > select Database from drop-down menu
2. We are using ASM for the standby database, select Yes and press Continue.
