Converting Physical Standby to Logical Standby and Monitoring

------------------------------ ------------------------------

SQL> show parameters archive

log_archive_dest_1 string location=/slot/ems3079/oracl
e/db_1/arch/sitst01/

***************On primary set the VALID_FOR parameter to make destination 1
as valid for online redo logs and role as all roles. This mean even if we
change the role of primary server to standby server, online redo logs will
get archived to archive destination 1.



****SQL>alter system set
log_archive_dest_1='location=/slot/ems3079/oracle/db_1/arch/sitst01/
valid_for=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES)';***

##################################################

Archive destination 2 is for service which will ship archivelogs/redo logs
to secondary standby server.

Create another archive destination log_archive_dest_3 which will archive
only standby redo logs and role should be set to standby_role. This means
that in case if we make this primary as standby then standby redo logs will
be archived automatically at archive destination 3.

alter system set LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_3='LOCATION=/u01/oradata/arch_bbmlprod
VALID_FOR=(STANDBY_LOGFILES,STANDBY_ROLE)';

Run DBMS_LOGSTDBY.BUILD package to create metadata for log miner to apply
SQLs on logical standby site.

Start the recover and change the DB name of standby

SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER TO LOGICAL STANDBY BBMLDR;




Set the archive log destination on standby site as well.

SQL> alter system set

Start the SQL apply on logical standby



Create standby redo logs as shown below.

SQL> alter database add standby logfile group 4

Database altered.
SQL> alter database add standby logfile group 5

Database altered.
SQL> alter database add standby logfile group 6

Database altered.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE START LOGICAL STANDBY APPLY IMMEDIATE;

SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
Database altered.



SQL> ALTER DATABASE START LOGICAL STANDBY APPLY IMMEDIATE;
