CSD_PREFLIGHT_CHECK

If set to Y, Dbvisit will create a standby spfile and attempt to start up the standby instance prior to backing up the primary database, when creating the standby database. Dbvisit will report any invalid standby database parameters, and any errors can be fixed straight away.

Default value Y (YES) highly recommended

DBV_POST_PROC

If a different named script should be called, then this variable can be set. If no path name is given the Dbvisit Standby install directory is assumed. 

Default value Windows: dbv_post_processing.cmd

Default value Non Windows: dbv_post_processing.sh

See the Pre- and post-processing section for more information.

Example:

    DBV_POST_PROC = post_procs_all.cmd

DBV_PRE_POST_PROC

The name of the pre- and post- processing script.  If a different named script should be called, then this variable can be set. If no path name is given the Dbvisit Standby install directory is assumed. 

Default value Windows: dbv_pre_post_processing.cmd

Default value Non Windows: dbv_pre_post_processing.sh

See the Pre- and post-processing section for more information.

Example:

    DBV_PRE_POST_PROC = rman_backup.cmd

DBV_PRE_PROC

The name of the pre-processing script.  If a different named script should be called, then this variable can be set. If no path name is given the Dbvisit Standby install directory is assumed. 

Default value Windows: dbv_pre_processing.cmd

Default value Non Windows: dbv_pre_processing.sh

See the Pre- and post-processing section for more information.

Example:

    DBV_PRE_PROC = rman_backup.cmd

ORACLE_HOME_ASM 

Default:

ORACLE_SID_ASM = +ASM

ORACLE_SID_ASM

The ASM instance name and the ORACLE_HOME for the ASM instance name.

SSH_SKIP_OUTPUT

If the ssh connection contains an ssh banner, then Dbvisit Standby will not be able to interpret the data correctly. This setting can be used to tell Dbvisit Standby to ignore the ssh banner.

For example if the ssh banner is as follows:

*************************************************************************** 
 NOTICE TO USERS 
  
 This computer system is the private property of xxxxx.

 It is for authorized use only. Users (authorized or unauthorized) 
 have no explicit or implicit expectation of privacy. 
  
 By using this system, the user consents to such interception, monitoring, 
 recording, copying, auditing, inspection, and disclosure at the 
 discretion of such personnel or officials. Unauthorized or improper use 
 of this system may result in civil and criminal penalties and 
 administrative or disciplinary action, as appropriate. By continuing to 
 use this system you indicate your awareness of and consent to these terms 
 and conditions of use. LOG OFF IMMEDIATELY if you do not agree to the 
 conditions stated in this warning. 
 ****************************************************************************

Then the following can be set to ignore this:

Example:

SSH_SKIP_OUTPUT=***

This will skip the output lines beginning with *** and ending with ***

SSH_SKIP_OUTPUT_LINES

By setting this parameter to a number value, that number of lines will be ignored during ssh connections. 

Example:

If your ssh banner is 5 lines, you can specify:

SSH_SKIP_OUTPUT_LINES=5

The first 5 lines of ssh output (which will include the banner) will be skipped.

STANDBY_ARCHIVELOG_NAME_EXTENSION

Filename extension for archive logs transferred to the standby.

Default .arc

Dbvisit uses name convention %t_%s[_%r]STANDBY_ARCHIVELOG_NAME_EXTENSION, for example: 1_120_123456.arc

Example:

STANDBY_ARCHIVELOG_NAME_EXTENSION = .log

USE_ARCHTMP_TO_COMPRESS

Note: This parameter applies to environments where ASM storage is NOT used for the Oracle Archive Destination (or recovery area)

Default value N (NO)

If this value is set to Y (Yes) Dbvisit Standby will compress the archive logs in ARCHTMP instead of the default location where the archive logs are stored (Oracle Archive Destination / Oracle Recovery Area).

This parameter is especially useful and recommended to be set when Multiple Standby Databases are used, or when RMAN backup is scheduled on the primary

WIN_SERVICE_WAIT

How long in seconds to wait for the Windows Oracle service to start or stop before starting or stopping the database.

Default value: 10

Example:

    WIN_SERVICE_WAIT=10
