Hi,
I am new to oracle and my first task is setting up a Data Guard.
I am investigating how to set up a primary and a standby database.
After alter database archivelog on primary databse and
alter database force logging, I queried the v$DATAFILE to find out
which datafiles I need to copy from primary to standby database.

/*Primary database*/
select name from v$datafile;

/u01/app/oracle/oradata/solpro/system01.dbf
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/solpro/undotbs01.dbf
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/solpro/sysaux01.dbf
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/solpro/users01.dbf
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/solpro/SOLTEC_INDEX
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/solpro/SOLTEC_DATA

These are the datafiles on the standby database.

/*Standby database*/
select name from v$datafile;

/opt/oracle/oradata/solca/system01.dbf
/opt/oracle/oradata/solca/undotbs01.dbf
/opt/oracle/oradata/solca/sysaux01.dbf
/opt/oracle/oradata/solca/users01.dbf
/opt/oracle/oradata/solca/soltecdata
/opt/oracle/oradata/solca/soltecindex

My question now is:
The 2 last datafile names are different (SOLTEC_DATA and soltecdat...). It would mean that after copying I will have 8 data files on the standby database and 6 on the primary. Is this ok?

Thanks in advance
Shideh

No. Your standby database should be exactly as the same as the primary database. You'd better follow the oracle documents to do that.

Hi Alex,
Thanks for your reply.
What do I do if it is not?
Which documentation should I follow? The articles I read on the net are only talking about coping the files to the standby environment when the database is shut downed.

Thanks in advance
Shideh
