Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Oracle 7.3/Controlfile for standby database
Hello,
I´m trying to set up a standby database with Oracle 7.3. I followed the= =
steps in the documentation and I was able to get the standby database running in the standby mode.
When I try to activate the standby database, Oracle complains about
the control file. The controlfile of the standby database is this one
that has been created on the primary database with "alter database
create controlfile as" ...Is it neccessary to create a new controlfile
when
activating the standby database or must I copy the controlfile from the
primary database to the secondary ? Both machines have the same
disk layout and the same Oracle setup.
What´s going wrong ? Any comments ?
