ORACLE DATABASE 12C – CREATE DATA GUARD STANDBY DATABASE USING DBCA

syntax : dbca -createDuplicateDB 

    -gdbName global_database_name 

    -primaryDBConnectionString easy_connect_string_to_primary

    -sid database_system_identifier

    [-createAsStandby 

        [-dbUniqueName db_unique_name_for_standby]]

--

primary : prid01

standby : prid02

We will run the command from the standby  server  prid02 as shown below.

dbca -silent -createDuplicateDB -gdbName psfp -primaryDBConnectionString prid01:1521/pfspsb -sid psfp -createAsStandby -dbUniqueName psfpsb

enter sys user password

once done connect standby  and check the role.

select database_role from v$database:;

now the sp file and orapwd file automatically created.

tnsnames.ora

add the standby and prod tnsnames files

Set the property StaticConnectIdentifier to prevent errors during switchover operations



Edit database ‘psfp’ set property StaticConnectIdentifier= '(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=prid01.localdomain)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=psfp_DGMGRL)(INSTANCE_NAME=psfp)(SERVER=DEDICATED)))';
