Extra settings

These settings are not present in the DDC file but can be added if required.

Variable NameMeaning
DBV_PRE_PROCThe 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
DBV_POST_PROCIf 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
WIN_SERVICE_WAITHow 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
AMM_PERC_FULL_WAIT_MILLISECThis is used in the Archive Management Module (AMM) to ensure that the percentage full disk space displays the correct value. For some volume managers it takes a little time to display the correct status after files have been removed. This variables ensures there is some delay before Dbvisit Standby calculates the free space again.
This setting is only used in conjunction with the THRESHOLD_ARCHSOURCE and THRESHOLD_ARCHDEST variables.
Default is 250 milliseconds.
Example:
   AMM_PERC_FULL_WAIT_MILLISEC=250
AMM_START_AFTER_EACH_APPLYUse with caution! Archives may be deleted before being applied.
AMM_START_AFTER_EACH_TRANSFER      Normally the Archive Management Module (AMM) to manage the        archive log files is started at the end of Dbvisit Standby processing. These variables allow the AMM module to be started during Dbvisit Standby processing. This may be necessary due to space restrictions.
AMM_START_AFTER_EACH_APPLY starts AMM on the standby server after each archive has been applied and not at the end of Dbvisit Standby processing.
AMM_START_AFTER_EACH_TRANSFER starts AMM on the primary server after each archive has been transferred and not at the end of Dbvisit Standby processing.
Important: Normally Dbvisit Standby will apply the archives to the standby database before removing them. By setting   AMM_START_AFTER_EACH_TRANSFER=Yes, this check no longer applies.
Sample:
AMM_START_AFTER_EACH_APPLY=Yes
AMM_START_AFTER_EACH_TRANSFER=No
ORACLE_SID_ASMThe ASM instance name and the ORACLE_HOME for the ASM instance name.
ORACLE_HOME_ASM 

Default:

ORACLE_SID_ASM = +ASM

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:

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