1. In order to perform export dump, we need a database in read write mode
(need not necessary be primary database of standby) 2. the above point also means that, we cannot take export directly in physical s tandby. we only extract data from physical standby. Steps: 1. Login to a database which is in read write mode and create a database link be tween database in read write and physical standby database. create database link export_dbl1 connect to system identified by manager using ' teststby'; 2. Ensure or create database directory , and ensure that the directory is in rea d write state. create or replace directory export_dir1 as '/orashare1/exports/dumpfile'; 3. grant read,write to system (by default , the privilege will be there for syst em ). grant read,write on directory export_dir1 to system; 4. cancel the apply process, bring the physical standby database to read only mo de. alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session; alter database open read only; 5. export what we required from the server where we have database in read write mode. expdp system/dangerous directory=export_dir1 dumpfile=stby_dmp.dmp logfile=stby_ dmp.log network_link=export_dbl1 schemas=scott 6. once the export completed, bring the physical standby to apply mode. shu immediate startup nomount alter database mount standby database; alter database recover managed standby database using current logfile disconnect from session;
