 Standby Server Details

 Server name: standby001

 OPERATIONS

 Shutdown the PRIMARY Database, Listeners and Standby

 Login to primary001

 SQL> shutdown immediate

lsnrctl stop REPLICA_public

lsnrctl stop REPLICA_fc_dg

Login to standby server – standby001 and stop the Listener if any running

 Copy / scp the datafiles to DR Server – standby001

Do a cleanup on the DR Server if required – check the relevant directories

scp -pr /u04/oradata/REPLICA/* oracle@standby001:/u04/oradata/REPLICA

scp -pr /u02/oradata/REPLICA/* oracle@standby001:/u02/oradata/REPLICA

Note:- scp by default is binary copy, so no worries

Create STANDBY Controlfile in Primary Server / Database

Login to primary001 Primary Server

SQL> startup

SQL> Alter database create standby controfile as ‘/u01/oracle/control01.ctl’;

Do few Log switches on Primary Server

SQL> alter system switch logfile;

/
Copy / sftp this file to /u02/oradata/REPLICA

sftp  oracle@standby001

pwd: *****

cd /u02/oradata/REPLICA

lcd /u01/oracle

Also Copy / sftp the Archive logs to DR Server – standby001

Startup the Standby Database in DR Server

Login to standby001 and recheck the initREPLICA.ora parameters if needed for stby parameters

Ensure the controlfile is pointing to the just copied standby controlfile under “/u02/oradata/REPLICA” directory.

Stop the job_queue_processes  STANDBY database by setting them to 0

SQL> alter system set job_queue_processes=0 scope=memory;

SQL> alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session

 
IF needed , do check in Primary Server / database

– CHECK THE STATUS IF VALID FOR STBY

select dest_id, status from v$archive_dest;
