Hi,

I will share all Oracle DBA Scripts related Dataguard in this post.

database for routine database operations and monitoring.

Oracle DBA Scripts All in One post will

be updated with new Oracle DBA

Dataguard Monitoring Scripts

 

Your dataguard is running but is there any lag ? You can learn below script.

set lines 1000

select name,value from v$dataguard_stats;

If you want to know which archive sequence number comes from the Primary database lastly and
which is last applied in Standby, you can learn the following script.

SELECT ARCH.THREAD# "Thread", ARCH.SEQUENCE# "Last in Sequence", APPL.SEQUENCE# "Last

Applied Sequence", (ARCH.SEQUENCE# - APPL.SEQUENCE#) "Difference"

FROM

(SELECT THREAD# ,SEQUENCE# FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG WHERE (THREAD#,FIRST_TIME ) IN

(SELECT THREAD#,MAX(FIRST_TIME) FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG GROUP BY THREAD#)) ARCH,

(SELECT THREAD# ,SEQUENCE# FROM V$LOG_HISTORY WHERE (THREAD#,FIRST_TIME ) IN

(SELECT THREAD#,MAX(FIRST_TIME) FROM V$LOG_HISTORY GROUP BY THREAD#)) APPL

WHERE

ARCH.THREAD# = APPL.THREAD#

ORDER BY 1;

To stop dataguard you can use following query. When dataguard is stopped, MRP ( Media Recovery
Process ) won’t run.

alter database recover managed standby database cancel;

To start dataguard you can use following query. When dataguard is started, MRP ( Media Recovery
Process ) will run.

ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;

If you don’t want any lag you should start dataguard with using logfile option. You should add
standby logs to the standby database in this case.

ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE USING CURRENT LOGFILE

DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;

If you want to learn which of database is Standby and which of database is Primary, you can execute
below query.

SELECT database_role, open_mode FROM v$database;

You can display the status of background processes in a standby database with below script.

select process, client_process,thread#,sequence#,status from v$managed_standby;

You can just want to see MRP process status then you can execute below script.

select process, client_process,thread#,sequence#,status from v$managed_standby where process like '%MRP

%';

What is the MRP process waiting for status ? You can check with below script.

select a.event, a.wait_time, a.seconds_in_wait from gv$session_wait a, gv$session b where a.sid=b.sid and

b.sid=(select SID from v$session where PADDR=(select PADDR from v$bgprocess where NAME='MRP0'));

To see the status of the switchover and the role of database which is in Standby or Primary state,
execute following script.

KURNIAWAN SETYO NUGROHO 4

 ORACLE DATAGUARD

select switchover_status,database_role from v$database;

To see archive gap in dataguard, execute following script.

SELECT THREAD#, LOW_SEQUENCE#, HIGH_SEQUENCE# FROM V$ARCHIVE_GAP;

Below script provides information about approximate completion time of the recovery process

select to_char(start_time,'DD-MON-RR HH24:MI:SS') start_time,item,round(sofar/1024,2) "MB/Sec" from

v$recovery_progress

where (item='Active Apply Rate' or item='Average Apply Rate');

To see all parameters of Oracle dataguard, you can execute following query.

set linesize 500 pages 0

col value for a80

col name for a50

select name, value from v$parameter

where name in ('db_name','db_unique_name','log_archive_config',

'log_archive_dest_1','log_archive_dest_2','log_archive_dest_3',

'log_archive_dest_state_1','log_archive_dest_state_2','log_archive_dest_state_3',
'remote_login_passwordfile',

'log_archive_format','log_archive_max_processes','fal_server','fal_client','db_file_name_convert',

'log_file_name_convert', 'standby_file_management') order by 1;

To see applied archivelogs in dataguard, execute following script.

 select thread#,sequence#,first_time,next_time,applied from gv$archived_log where applied='YES';

Below script provides information about max sequence of dataguard

select thread#,max(sequence#) from gv$archived_log group by thread#;
