Right. Stand-by is exactly what you are trying to simulate. The archive logs will reproduce 99% of what happens in the production environment. In addition, it will provide for a quicker recovery.

You don't need to rebuild when a datafile is added. Once the recovery fails
you just issue the create datafile command on the standby.

First off, your process is doing a lot of unnecessary work.

Standby databases are available in 7.3.4. I believe that
would be somewhat simpler than your current procedure.

I haven't tried it though, so I could be wrong.

Even with your current procedure, you don't need to copy
all of the files, most of the time anyway.

Build your standby database, put it in recovery mode, and
just keep applying archive log files to it.

You may need to rebuild when a datafile is added to a
tablespace, not sure.

In 8i, why not just use standby database?

Subject: Clone Production Server to Stand by Server on 8.1.7
on Win 2k


Hello

We currently have two Identical servers (identical in terms of both
Hardware
and SW).
We run Oracle 7.3.4.0 (Workgroup server) on Win NT 4 on both the servers.
We
call them as Production Server and Stand by server. The Stand by server is
passive in nature (i.e. does not do anything). Every night a batch process
shuts down Oracle instance on both the machines and copies over all the
files (Data, log, ctl etc) from Production Server to the Stand by server
(Drive to drive, directory to directory...)

In case the Production Server fails, we simply switch over the users (with
a
different alias to the stand by server) and they are back in business.

Now, we are thinking of migrating to 8.1.7, however while trying to
install
this version, one needs to specify a Global name which I believe has to be
unique on the network. So will the same process that I used to run (i.e.
copy all files over from production to stand by ) work??? I guess both my
servers will now have to have separate/unique Global Names.

Is there any other approach that any of you can suggest???

TIA
Arif
