Windows Primary database and Linux Active Standby

This note describes the procedure of configuring a cross platform using the 11g RMAN Active Duplicate as well as an Active Standby Database setup over a Windows and Linux platform.

The Metalink note Data Guard Support for Heterogeneous Primary and Physical Standbys in Same Data Guard Configuration [ID 413484.1] describes the supported cross platform. combinations between a primary and standby database.

The environment used is as follows:

Primary :

Windows xp 32 bit
11g Release 2
DB_NAME=ygzhou
ORACLE_SID=ygzhou
service_names=ygzhou
DB_UNIQUE_NAME=ygzhou

Active Standby:

Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3 32 bit
11g Release 2
DB_NAME=ygzhou
ORACLE_SID=ygzhou
service_names=ygzhou
DB_UNIUE_NAME=ygzhoudg

· Add static entry in listener.ora -------靜態監聽

(SID_DESC =

(GLOBAL_DBNAME =ygzhoudg)

(ORACLE_HOME =/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1)

(SID_NAME =ygzhou)

)

· Reload listener or stop and start listener

· Add entries in tnsnames.ora on both source and target
