Dbvisit Standby is installed on all servers forming part of the Standby Database configuration. The following system requirements are the minimum required for Dbvisit Standby installation:

  • 500Mb space for the Dbvisit Standby software installation on the file system. The software installation takes approx. 200Mb of space, and it is recommended to have sufficient space for trace file generation. Dbvisit Standby generates a trace file each time it executes, containing information about Dbvisit processing and its environment. When an alert or error notification is sent by Dbvisit, the trace file will be attached to the email so that this can be forwarded to Dbvisit support if needed, allowing them to quickly diagnose issues. A minimum of 200Mb space is recommended.

  • 10Mb space for the Dbvisit Standby Database Repository inside the Oracle Database. The repository stores information used for reporting as well as Create Standby Database (CSD) template information which can be used to easily re-create standby databases if required.

 

The standby database server will require the same amount of storage capacity as the primary database server.

 

Dbvisit Standby makes use of a Dbvisit Archive Destination (ARCHDEST) to store the archive logs shipped from the primary server to the standby server. This location should be big enough to keep at least 1 day's worth of archive logs, but capacity to store three days or more is recommended. For example, if you generate 2GB worth of redo (archive logs) on the primary in one day, you should have at least 2GB minimum free space on the standby in the folder specified as the ARCHDEST.
