- Specify the Dbvisit Standby Configuration (DDC) name. We recommend using the Database Name, and if using RAC use the INSTANCE Name from the server where you are running this configuration. Example, if you are running the configuration on Node 1 in a RAC configuration for RAC database PROD and on this node the database Instance name is PROD1, then we recommend you use PROD1 as the DDC name. In the above example the DDC name is called the same as the database "proddb" (single instance on this server).
- Specify the ASM Instance name on this server. If ASM is not used, ignore this field and leave the default value of +ASM. If you are using ASM, specify the ASM instance name running on this server. Example if this is a single instance environment (Non RAC), then the default ASM instance name will be +ASM. But if you are using RAC, the ASM instance name will be for example +ASM1 on node 1 and +ASM2 on node to.
- Specify the Dbvnet Port. The default port number 7890 is recommended. You need to make sure this port is open and not blocked by firewalls on the primary and standby servers.
- Dbvisit Standby is making use of a small database repository. The default schema (database username) is "dbvisit7"
- Specify the password for the repository owner (dbvisit7)
- Specify if the password should be encrypted in the DDC file or not. Default recommended value is Yes.

STEP 2: Standby Server
| Note |
|---|
Please note that the Dbvisit Standby ARCHDEST location must exist on both primary and standby server. It must be located on normal filesystem, not ASM. This location is not the same as the Database archive destinations, but is specific to Dbvisit Standby. |
- Specify the Standby Database Server Name
- Specify the DBVISIT_BASE location on the Standby Server (It is recommended that this location be the same on the Primary and Standby Server)
- Specify SSH Port (Not Required) The SSH Port is ignored on Windows Based systems. On Linux SSH can still be used, only if the DBVNET_PORT is not specified. The recommended option is to ignore this value (leave it at 22) and make use of Dbvnet.
- Specify the Oracle SID for the Standby Database. It is recommended to make use of the same name as what the primary database is called. Example if your primary database is called PROD, then you can call the Standby database PROD as well. In the above example the primary database is called "proddb" and the standby Oracle SID is specified the same - proddb.
- The Oracle Home value is optional. It is recommended that you add the standby database to the "oratab" file if configured on Unix.
- Specify the ASM Instance name on the Standby server. Ignore this value if you are not using ASM.
- IMPORTANT. This parameter must be set and this directory must exist on both the primary node(s) and the standby node. This location is used by Dbvisit Standby to store archive logs on the standby server from where they are applied to the Standby database. Note that this location is not the same as the Oracle Database archive destination (FRA/ Recovery Area). This location is also referred to as the Dbvisit Standby ARCHDEST.
