We have a standby environment where due to application constraints we have to apply logs based on the application progress.
However before I was made responsible the remote archiving was not enabled, and files were transferred through a script. Now to clear the archive dest I need to write a script to delete only the logs that have been backed up and applied. So here are my questions...
1. On the standby host I can get into the database -- sqlplus '/ as sysdba' . How can I get onto it remotely since I need to get in as somebody as SYSDBA. If I try
sqlplus '"sys/password@connect_string as sysdba'" it still asks
me for a password. What am I doing wrong.
2. This is an academic question. Am I correct in assuming that password changes done in the production is passed onto the standby database.
3. I try to logon to the standby database locally as follows
sqlplus 'sys as sysdba' and get the following.. ORA-01033 Oracle
initialization or shutdown in progress
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Anjan
