The below section outlines the steps for creating New Dbvisit Database Repository.

If you are recreating the DDR you will lose all the statistical information the GUI displays in the reporting section. You will also need to apply the Dbvisit Standby License again.

 

In this example the setup is as follow:

  • Dbvisit Standby version: 6.0.60
  • Operating System - Oracle Linux 5.8
  • Oracle Database version: 11.2.0.4
  • Database Name: testdb

 

Step 1: On the Primary Node execute the “dbvisit_setup” command.

 

oracle@dbvlin803[/usr/local/dbvisit/standby]: ./dbvisit_setup
=========================================================
     Dbvisit Standby Database Technology (6.0.60.11060)
