Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> standby database ignores standby_archive_dest
Hey guys.
This one's driving me nuts. I've done serveral automated standby
databases but I'm running across a problem that I've never seen before.
When I start up my standby database (startup nomount; alter database
mount standby database;) and then do a recover standby database to
apply any outstanding logs, everything goes fine.
My archive files are in /ora_archive/prtlprod
All that goes great, but when I go into managed standby, it seems to
lose track of my archive destinations and looks for files in another
location - like so:
SVRMGR> alter database recover managed standby database;
alter database recover managed standby database
*
ORA-00308: cannot open archived log
'/oracle/home/product/8.1.6/dbs/arch_278.arc'
so, not only is it looking in the wrong place for the archive logs, but 278 hasn't even been generated on the primary yet.
Any ideas? Here's my archive info from "show parameter archive".
Of course, log_archive_dest1 and dest2 are ignored since this is a
standby.
BTW, this is an 8.1.6.0.0, so, I'm on an unsupported version. We plan
to go to 9i in a few months.
SVRMGR> show parameter archive
