Data Guard Commands
To start redo apply in foreground:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE;
To stop redo apply process on the Standby database (to stop MRP):
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;
To start real-time redo apply:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE USING
CURRENT LOGFILE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
To start redo apply in background:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE
DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
or
SQL> RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT;
To check redo apply and Media recovery service status:
SQL> SELECT PROCESS,STATUS, THREAD#,SEQUENCE#, BLOCK#, BLOCKS
FROM V$MANAGED_STANDBY ;
If managed standby recovery is not running or not started with real-time apply,
restart managed recovery with real-time apply enabled:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE USING
CURRENT LOGFILE DISCONNECT;
To gather Data Guard configuration information(standby)
SQL> SELECT DATABASE_ROLE,OPEN_MODE, PROTECTION_MODE FROM
V$DATABASE
DATABASE_ROLE OPEN_MODE PROTECTION_MODE
---------------- -------------------- --------------------
PHYSICAL STANDBY MOUNTED MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE
SQL> SELECT RECOVERY_MODE FROM V$ARCHIVE_DEST_STATUS WHERE
RECOVERY_MODE!='IDLE';
RECOVERY_MODE

MANAGED REAL TIME APPLY
To calculate the Redo bytes per second
SQL> SELECT SUM (BLOCKS * BLOCK_SIZE) / 1024 / 1024 / 60 /
60 / 30 REDO_MB_PER_SEC
FROM GV$ARCHIVED_LOG
WHERE FIRST_TIME BETWEEN TO_DATE ('01.05.2016', 'DD.MM.YYYY')
AND TO_DATE ('01.06.2016', 'DD.MM.YYYY')
To check status of Data Guard synchronization(standby):
SQL> SELECT NAME, VALUE FROM V$DATAGUARD_STATS;
NAME VALUE
--------------------- -------------------------------
transport lag +00 00:00:00
apply lag +00 00:00:00
apply finish time +00 00:00:00.000
estimated startup time 32
To verify there is no log file gap between the primary and the standby
database:
SQL> SELECT STATUS, GAP_STATUS FROM V$ARCHIVE_DEST_STATUS
WHERE DEST_ID = 3;
STATUS GAP_STATUS
--------- ------------------------
VALID NO GAP
SQL> SELECT SWITCHOVER_STATUS FROM V$DATABASE;
SWITCHOVER_STATUS
--------------------
TO STANDBY
You can use verify command to verfy switchover
This comman will generate warnings in alert log file and you can check it before
switchover
SQL> ALTER DATABASE SWITCHOVER to STBY_DB_SID VERIFY;
To convert the primary database into a physical standby :
Before switchover the current control file is backed up to the current SQL session
trace file and it possible to reconstruct a current control file, if necessary.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PHYSICAL STANDBY
WITH SESSION SHUTDOWN;
Database altered.
To verify Managed Recovery is running on the standby :
SQL> SELECT PROCESS FROM V$MANAGED_STANDBY WHERE PROCESS LIKE
'MRP%';
PROCESS
---------
MRP0
To show information about the protection mode, the protection level, the role
of the database, and switchover status:
SQL> SELECT DATABASE_ROLE, DB_UNIQUE_NAME INSTANCE, OPEN_MODE,
PROTECTION_MODE, PROTECTION_LEVEL, SWITCHOVER_STATUS FROM
V$DATABASE;
DATABASE_ROLE INSTANCE OPEN_MODE PROTECTION_MODE
PROTECTION_LEVEL SWITCHOVER_STATUS
