Standby Database Startup (NEW ORACLE HOME)

-------------------------------------

1 set new Oracle Home Environment

export ORACLE_HOME=/U01/app/product/19c/dbhome

2 set PATH export 

PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH

3 set ORACLE SID

export ORACLE_SID=TESTDB

startup mount

ALTER SYSTEM SET ENCRYPTION WALLET OPEN IDENTIFIED BY "easydb1938678";

set pagesize 24 linesize 87

col name format a12

col STATUS format a12

col WRL_PARAMETER format a40

select name, STATUS, WRL_PARAMETER from v$database,v$encryption_wallet;


6 after confirmation from Customer team (Operation Started on production successfully)

Listener & MRP start on Standby  to SYNC database


ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;


Node Failover Testing

----------------------

2 su - oracle -c "/home/easyDB/pkgscript/stop_easyDB.sh" Stop database on Active Node

2 su - oracle -c "/home/easyDB/pkgscript/start_easyDB.sh" Start Database on Passive Node


Rollback Plan

-------------

1 Downgrading database to previous version using Flashback database (FALLBACK PLAN)

        Note that data from any transactions that occur after the point in time to which the database is recovered are lost. 

2 This is only practical when only the database upgrade has been done and no application data changes have occurred

3 Set New Home environment

" /U01/app/product/19c/dbhome

Shutdown immediate

startup mount


4 restore guaranteed point

flashback database to restore point before_upgrd19c;

Shutdown immediate


5 Set OLD home environment


/oracle/app/product/12.2.0.1/dbhome_2

startup mount

6 Open database using reset log

alter database open resetlogs;


7 Validate   Registry View

select comp_name, version, status from dba_registry;

Oracle Database Catalog Views    12.2.0.0.1   Valid

Oracle Database Packages and Type  12.2.0.0.1 valid

8 Start Listener Services Listerner start for Application servers
