Hi,
Following the 9i documentation, I was able to setup a logical standby database. The changes in primary get applied to standby without any issue. Both database are configured as logical standby databases in maximum performance mode.
After this, when I do a Switchover, switchover completes without any issue. Archived redo log files get transmitted to the old primary from the new primary. The only issue is, the redo logs do not get applied on the new standby(old primary). The status of coordinator is 'INITIALIZING' for several hours in the standby datbase. Did anyone run into this?

Have upgraded the database to 9.2.0.7. Any help will be really appreciated.

If anyone has sucessfully implemented switchover between logical standby datbases, please please post your initora file of both primary and standby. Also the steps if any different from the documentation.

Thanks for your help.
Priya

Hi,


Did you put your database in the recovery mode. At standby database redo logs will be applied in the the recovery mode.

I did not understand what do you mean by the statement "The status of coordinator is 'INITIALIZING' for several hours in the standby datbase" ?

This is a switchover between logical standby databases. I think you are talking about physical standby.

The status of logical standby database can be obtained from V$LOGSTDBY view. In my case, the coordinator process shows a status of 'INITIALIZING' indefinitely.

SQL> COLUMN TYPE FORMAT A12
