I alerday have Oracle Enterprise Edition Licenses for both Primary
and Seconmdray servers, so I will not need any additional license for
Data Gurad. My problem is both of these severes are production servers
and we don't have
any environment to test move from SahrePlex to DataGuard. I know data
gurad is
not hard to setup, but I hav eto convince a team of people who don't
know anything of Oracle.
