Modifying the Initialization Parameter File

Oracle Tips by Burleson

Oracle Data GuardChapter 3 - Implementing Standby Databases

Modifying the Initialization Parameter File

The database initialization file on the primary site requires some modification to support a logical standby database. In this step, changes in the init.ora parameter file on the primary database will be required. The following example shows an extract from the init.ora file from the primary site, highlighting the parameters required to support a logical standby database:

# Archive

LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT=appsdb_%t_%s.dbf
LOG_ARCHIVE_START=TRUE
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1='LOCATION=/oracle/appsdb/arch'
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='SERVICE=appsstdby'
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2=ENABLE

# Miscellaneous

COMPATIBLE=9.2.0
DB_NAME=appsdb
STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT=AUTO

# Resource Manager

RESOURCE_MANAGER_PLAN=SYSTEM_PLAN

log_archive_dest_2 should correspond to the logical standby service name configured in the tnsnames.ora file on the primary site.
