12c.
DETAILS
There are new Possibilities for cascading Standby Databases in Oracle 12c. The main
Differents between Oracle 12c and the previous Releases are:
Real-Time Cascading
Far Sync Standby Database
Data Guard Broker now supports cascaded Standby Database
However, you can still only cascade a Standby Database from a Physical Standby
Database. It is not supported to cascade a Standby Database from a Logical Standby
Database.
Real-Time Cascading
It is now possible to forward Redo in Real-Time Mode from the first to the cascaded
Standby Database. So the Redo Record is forwarded to the cascaded Standby Database
once written into a Standby RedoLog of the first Standby Database.
Non Real-Time Cascading means that the whole Log Sequence is transferred to the
terminal Standby Database(s) after a Log Switch on the Primary Database.
Prerequisites
Setup
First of all setup a Data Guard Environment as usual to the cascading Standby
Database. The Log Transport Method should be ‘SYNC’ and Standby RedoLogs must be
configured on the cascading Standby Database. Once you created the cascaded Standby
Database you can now setup the cascading Log Transport Services. Here are some
Hints for correct Setup:
You can only use log_archive_dest_1 until log_archive_dest_10 for Non Real-Time
Cascading Destinations where all log_archive_dest_n’s can be used for Real-Time
Cascading on the Cascading Standby Database
The Cascading Standby Standby can be in any Protection Mode
A Cascading Standby Database can serve one or multiple terminal Standby Databases
FAL_SERVER on the cascading Standby Database should be set to the Primary or any
other Standby Database served by the Primary Database directly
FAL_SERVER on the terminal Standby Database should be set to the cascading Standby
Database or the Primary Database
A Far Sync Standby Database is a cascading Standby Database which acts as a Redo
Log Repository for a Terminal Database. It does not contain any Datafiles. Only Log
Transport Services are active on a Far Sync Standby Database. The Advantage of a
Far Sync Standby Database is that it can be a local ArchiveLog Repository for the
Primary Database acting in Maximum Protection Mode where the Physical or Logical
Standby Database can be on a far remote Site. See
Note 1565071.1: Data Guard 12c New Feature: Far Sync Standby
There is a new Data Guard Broker Property called ‘RedoRoutes’ used to build and
implement a cascaded Data Guard Broker Configuration. It has the following Format:
Redo Source: This is the Source the Redo is coming from. It can be a db_unique_name
or the ‘LOCAL’-Keyword which is an Alias for the local Database Name (Cannot be
used for a Far Sync Standby Database)
Redo Destination: This is the Destination where the Redo is shipped to from this
Database. It can be one or more (comma separated) db_unique_name’s or the ‘ALL’-
Keyword which is an Alias for all possible Destinations inside the Data Guard
Broker Configuration. Optional you can also specify the Transport Method to be used
to the Destination. This can be
Example:
We want to serve the local Standby Database with ‘SYNC NOAFFIRM’ and the remote
Standby Database in Real-Time Cascade Mode. So the Setting would be:
-> So the Primary Database only ships Redo to the local Standby Database, but has
Archive Destination to the remote Standby Database
-> Here we configure that the Redo coming from ‘prim’ is forwarded in Real-Time
Cascade (ASYNC) to the remote Standby Database
