Hi all,

I had a problem with a standby database, it was off during several days.
Now there is a gap of more than one week between the primary and standby.

I have all the archive logs generated during those days.

The question iso I have to manually copy all archive logs to be applied on standby or the archiver can do that for me ?
I mean to copy remaining archive logs to standby and then apply them.
How do I instruct archiver to copy archives from primary to standby?

Thanks a lot

If archiver did not copy them automatically when created, you need to copy manually.

Hi,

I checked alert log of standby and found the following:

FAL[client]: Failed to request gap sequence
GAP - thread 1 sequence 4240-4294
DBID 767729917 branch 705494287
FAL[client]: All defined FAL servers have been attempted.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Check that the CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME initialization
parameter is defined to a value that is sufficiently large
enough to maintain adequate log switch information to resolve
archivelog gaps.

FAL is not configured, but I cannot stop the primary database.
Is it mandatory to have FAL client and server configured to automastically resolve gaps ?

Thanks

FAL_SERVER and FAL_CLIENT are dynamic parameters that can be set with "ALTER SYSTEM" -- no recycle db necessary.
