Note
titleWhen using Oracle RAC

When running Dbvisit Standby on an Oracle RAC environment, you will need to run the sending of archive logs on each of the primary RAC Nodes. Example, if you have a database called PROD with instance PROD1 on node 1 and PROD2 on node 2 you will end up with a DDC file per node, example:

 

Node 1: dbv_PROD1.env

Node 2: dbv_PROD2.env

 

When scheduling or running Dbvisit on the RAC nodes, you will run Dbvisit Standby as follow:

 

On Node 1 execute the command: dbvisit PROD1

On Node 2 execute the command: dbvisit PROD2

It is recommended that when you schedule Dbvisit Standby on the RAC nodes to schedule them at least 1 minute apart and not at the exact same time.

 

When Dbvisit Standby is executed to send Archive Logs to the Standby database the process can be summarised as follow:

...

  • Archive logs located in the Dbvisit ARCHDEST location will be applied to the standby database
    • If the archive logs are compressed (based on the COMPRESS value in the DDC file), they will be automatically uncompressed (based on the UNCOMPRESS value in DDC file) after which they will be applied to the standby database.
  • Once all archive logs available in the ARCHDEST location was applied, will Dbvisit Standby execute the Dbvisit Standby Archivelog Management Module (AMM) which will manage the ARCHDEST location on the standby database server.  

 

Note
titleWhen using Oracle RAC on the Primary

When using Oracle RAC as the primary environment, it is important to note that you only have to run Dbvisit Standby on the standby server for ONE of the DDC files and you do not have to run it for both.

Example:

If you have a 2 node primary RAC environment, with dbv_PROD1.env and dbv_PROD2.env as the DDC files for the RAC database called PROD. You will run Dbvisit Standby on both primary RAC nodes to ship each node's respective archive logs (archive logs for that thread) to the standby. But on the standby server, you only have to run Dbvisit Standby for one of the DDC files. Dbvisit Standby will apply all logs from both threads during recovery. In this case you can run only "dbvisit PROD1" to apply all the logs on the standby.
