Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Re: STANDBY DB - 2 questions
Hi!
can u pls tell me more about
the Shareplex software?
Thanks...
PS: What has been this listers general experience
with recovery manager?
cos in the manual Oracle 'suggests' taking
logical backup of recovery catalog
which has 'greatly undermined' our
management's 'confidence' in Recovery Manager
and they 'DON'T WANT US TO do trial and error'
in live/production systems.
Can someone please tell what technical,'people' problems were faced for implementing recovery manager and how were they solved??
Thanks

It appears that the logical standby works in a similar manner to Shareplex
by Quest software. Hopefully the performance will be better than in Quest's
product...<br>

The problem is with the listener. 8i uses default listener for 8i and 7.3.4 uses another user defined listener(Listener_ora7). We have a pro *c program that connects to 7.3.4 database. it is always accessing 8i listener. How to make that pro*c program to consider 7.3.4 listener. We could not put 7.3.4 database in 8i listener because of permission and loging problems.

Looked Shareplex for a client and it is very expensive (10000s of $$ per instance).. where you can get the same high availability thru some means (logminer.. standby database).. And there are news coming from Oracle . the similar kind of functionality (logical standby database) will be available with Oracle 9i.. So the choice is yours.and for a compatision Look Oracle9i at www.oracle.com and Shareplex at www.quest.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

We are currently NT bound, but there might be a possibility of Unix introduced too. Anyhow, to help select the monitoring software I am planning to put together an evaluation checklist to try and objectively compare the various offerings out there. I'd appreciate it if you would let me know what features you think a monitoring package should have, e.g. in categories, "must have", "useful to have", "nice to have" (if you can afford it???). It would be also useful to hear feedback from you folk who already have such software on other factors such as, support level, costs (licences, annual maintenance), or even such aspirations as "looking back what I should have gone for was", or "but nowadays the xxxx package does this and more". In return for your time and feedback I'll publish the evaluation sheet to members of the list for everyone to use if they choose to do so. Oh! and of course if there is already an evaluation sheet in existence that folk know of, I'll cut to the chase there ;) Sean :) Rookie Data Base Administrator [0%] OCP Oracle8 DBA [0%] OCP Oracle8i DBA [0%] OCP Oracle9i DBA -------------------------------- ------------ Organon (Ireland) Ltd.
