RE: recover standby database failure

I would have to be

To have it run the background: recover managed standby database disconnect from session;

To cancel: recover managed standby database cancel; To execute in current session: recover managed standby database; -- (command would block).

Or at the least that is how I have done it. I haven't looked at the newer commands and capabilities. If you monitor the alert log it will indicate the wait for the next archive log and an apply when you switch logs in the primary. Recover automatic would/should give the same error.

The error as you said is what would be expected since it is attempting and unbounded recovery.

Michael,

If I'm understanding you correctly then this is normal behaviour. It means the database has been recovered up until the most recent available archive log. I haven't set up a manual standby db since Oracle 7.1 so I'm not sure about this, but I would think at this point you just type "cancel", wait for more archive logs to arrive and then "recover automatic standby database;" again. Repeat.

Thanks,

Finn
