PRIMARY DATABASE   =  CHENNAI
STANDBY DATABASE =  HYDERABAD

Step 1 : Check the Data Guard Broker process on Primary database


SQL> sho parameter dg_broker

NAME                                   TYPE             VALUE
—————–                       ———-            ———-

dg_broker_start                     boolean          FALSE

Step 2  : Start the Data Guard Broker Process on Primary database   


SQL>alter system set dg_broker_start=true scope=both;

System altered.

Step 3 : Check DG_BROKER on standby database and start it 


SQL> sho parameter dg_broker

NAME                                   TYPE             VALUE
—————–                       ———-            ———-

dg_broker_start                     boolean          FALSE


SQL>alter system set dg_broker_start=true scope=both;

System altered.

Step 4 :   Edit the listener.ora file

Edit the listener.ora file which includes the db_unique_name_DGMGRL.db_domain values for the GLOBAL_DBNAME
in both primary and standby database . To set the value, lets check the db_domain value .

SQL> show parameter db_domain

NAME                              TYPE               VALUE
————–                  ———–         ————–
db_domain                         string

Since the value of db_domain  is null so the the value of  GLOBAL_DBNAME = Chennai_DGMGRL for primary
database and for standby  GLOBAL_DBNAME = Hyderabad_DGMGRL The primary listener.ora file  is as

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME = Chennai_DGMGRL)
      (ORACLE_HOME = u01/app/san/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1)
      (SID_NAME = Chennai)
    )
  )

Similarly, edit the listener.ora  file on standby database.

Step 5 : Configure the Data Guard Configuration 


SQL> dgmgrl

DGMGRL> connect sys/xxxx@Chennai

Connected.

DGMGRL> create configuration ‘dgChennai’ as primary database is ‘Chennai’ connect identifier is Chennai;

> DGMGRL returns the following information:

> Configuration “dgChennai” created with primary database “Chennai” .

> Once the configuration is created then check the status of configuration .

DGMGRL> show configuration
Configuration          – dgChennai
Protection Mode        : MaxPerformance
Databases              : Chennai – Primary database
Fast-Start Failover    : DISABLED

Configuration Status   : DISABLED

Step  6 :  Add standby database to the data broker configuration 


DGMGRL>  add database ‘Hyderabad’ as connect identifier is Hyderabad maintained as physical;

>DGMGRL returns the following information:

>Database “Hyderabad” added

DGMGRL> show configuration
Configuration           –  dgChennai
Protection Mode       :  MaxPerformance
Databases                  :  Chennai – Primary database
                                  : Hyderabad – Physical standby database
Fast-Start Failover    :  DISABLED

Configuration Status :  DISABLED

Step 7 : Enable the configuration

DGMGRL> enable configuration
Enabled.
DGMGRL> show configuration
Configuration            – dgChennai
Protection Mode        : MaxPerformance
Databases                   : Chennai – Primary database
                                    : Hyderabad – Physical standby database
Fast-Start Failover      : DISABLED
Configuration Status   : SUCCESS


Step 8 : View the Primary and Standby database properties
