Step-By-Step Configuration Of Data Guard Broker in Oracle 11g

As  we  have already  discuss  about  the Data Guard Broker  and its  benefits  in  earlier post . Here we will configure the data Guard Broker . Here are the steps :

Primary Databse   =  Noida
Standby Database =  Delhi

Step 1 :  Check the Data Guard Broker process 
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 = NOIDA_DGMGRL for primary database and for standby  GLOBAL_DBNAME = DELHI_DGMGRL. The primary listener.ora file  is as 

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME = noida_DGMGRL)
      (ORACLE_HOME = C:\app\neerajs\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1)
      (SID_NAME = noida)
    )
  )
Similarly, edit the listener.ora  file on standby database .

Step 5 : Configure the Data Guard Configuration 
C:\> dgmgrl
DGMGRL for 32-bit Windows: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
Copyright (c) 2000, 2009, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Welcome to DGMGRL, type "help" for information.

DGMGRL> connect sys/xxxx@noida
Connected.

DGMGRL> create configuration 'dgnoida'
> as primary database is 'noida'
> connect identifier is noida ;
Configuration "dgnoida" created with primary database "noida" .

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

DGMGRL> show configuration
Configuration            - dgnoida
Protection Mode       : MaxPerformance
Databases                : noida - Primary database
Fast-Start Failover    : DISABLED
Configuration Status : DISABLED

Step  6 :  Add standby database to the data broker configuration 
DGMGRL>  add database 'delhi' as
> connect identifier is delhi
> maintained as physical ;
Database "delhi" added

DGMGRL> show configuration
Configuration             -  dgnoida
Protection Mode         :  MaxPerformance
Databases                   :  noida - Primary database
                                    : delhi - Physical standby database
Fast-Start Failover      :  DISABLED
Configuration Status    :  DISABLED

Step 7 : Enable the configuration
DGMGRL> enable configuration
Enabled.
DGMGRL> show configuration
Configuration              - dgnoida
Protection Mode          : MaxPerformance
Databases                   : noida - Primary database
                                   : delhi - Physical standby database
Fast-Start Failover       : DISABLED
Configuration Status    : SUCCESS

Step 8 : View the Primary and Standby database properties 

DGMGRL> show database verbose noida
Database                 - noida
Role                        : PRIMARY
Intended State         : TRANSPORT-ON

StaticConnectIdentifier          = '(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=TECH-199)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=noida_DGMGRL)(INSTANCE_NAME=noida)(SERVER=DEDICATED)))'

First try to connect from sqlplus to verify if you are able to connect to both databases.

check it on both machines.
