This section will cover the installation of Dbvisit Standby on Microsoft Windows systems.
...
- Windows 2003 (32bit and 64bit)
- Windows 2008 (32bit and 64bit)
- Windows 2012 (32bit and 64bit)
Important pre-requisite steps on Windows based environments:
- It is recommended to install Dbvisit Standby as the same user that installed the Oracle Database Software
- Ensure that the user that will be used to run Dbvisit Standby is part of the windows ORA_DBA group
- Open the Dbvnet port 7890 on both primary and standby server. This port should not be blocked by the local Windows Firewall.
- Open the Dbvserver Web-based interface port 8081 (default for http) and if you are planning on using https, open port 8443.
- Before you start the Dbvisit Standby version 7 installation, it is recommended to stop the Dbvserver (and Dbvnet) services if you have a previously installed version.
- Make sure you stop all Dbvisit Standby Schedules before you start the new installation.
NOTE: On Windows Server 2012 R2 creating an NTFS filesystem on a drive has the option to enable the 8.3 directory processing, please enabled this.
| Note |

The default ports used by Dbvisit Standby on Windows based environments are 7890 for the network communication (Dbvnet) and 8081 used for the Web-based interface (Dbvserver). By default the web-based interface is enabled on HTTP (port 8081) only. If HTTPS is required, the dbvserver.conf file will need to be updated (discussed later in this section) and Dbvserver service restarted. |
...
Download the file and extract the installer into a temporary location. Start the installer by running: Dbvisit-Standby7.0.04-Inst.exe
| Note | ||

It is recommended to install Dbvisit Standby as the same Operating System user used to Install the Oracle Database Software and Make make sure this user account is part of the ORA_DBA Windows group Having this user as part of the local "Administrators" group is also recommended, especially when using Windows 2008 and 2012 For Oracle 12c on Windows you will need to use Dbvisit Standby version 7, Version 7.0.22 or higher |
The following steps should be performed on both the primary and standby servers.
Step 1: Start the Installer
...
If you do get the above use the Windows Services and update the password and manually restart the Dbvserver service, example:
Windows 2003 and 2008 has a 30second limit for services to be started.
If the Dbvserver Service does not start within this 30seconds the startup will be terminated and an message similar to the one below will be displayed:
Press <ENTER> to continue. Note that the Dbvisit Standby Installer will attempt a restart of this service.
The installer will attempt a second restart of the service and will display an update on the status of the service.
Step 8: Creating the Dbvnet Windows Service
- During this step, Dbvisit Standby networking component - Dbvnet is installed. The Dbvnet software is using port 7890 by default to communicate between the primary and standby server. It is recommended that you make sure this port is not blocked by any firewall between the primary and standby servers.
- Click on Yes to continue with the creation of the Dbvnet Windows service.
- You will be asked to supply the currently logged on user password, which is required for the creation of the Dbvnet Windows service.
- Once the password is supplied the Dbvnet Windows service is created and started
| Note |
|---|
If you do get issues with the Dbvnet service not starting, it is recommended to review the password supplied and that you re-enter the password from the Windows Services console. Then manually restart the Dbvnet Windows service. |
Step 9: Dbvisit Standby Setup
- The final screen of the new Dbvisit Standby installation is a summary highlighting the next steps:
- Start the Dbvisit Standby Configuration:
- Using the Command Line:
- Start the Dbvisit Standby Configuration:
...
- c:\Program Files (x86)\Dbvisit\Standby\dbvisit_setup.exe
- Using the Web Based Interface: From menu, click on Setup then New Dbvisit Standby Configuration
- The Configuration step needs to be executed on the primary server. The first step is to create the Dbvisit Standby Configuration (DDC) file for the primary/standby configuration (one DDC file per primary-standby database pair should be configured).
- Click on OK to continue.
Step 10: End of installation
Once the installation is complete, click on Finish.
Step 11: Install Dbvisit Standby on the Standby server - Repeat step 1-10 on Standby server.
After installing Dbvisit Standby on the primary make sure you have installed the software on the standby server as well.
You can now continue to the next step which is to configure Dbvisit Standby (create a DDC file)
