Neil, I just found my answer on Metalink. I wasn't using the right key words before I guess. Anyway, you are correct. Managed recovery isn't an option with SE, only EE. I'm already had a script to copy the logs from primary node to secondary node, so I'll embellish that script to do what I need. Since the president of the company made it crystal clear that he wants no lag time when applying logs, I'll do a log switch and apply all logs since the last switch immediately. Thanks for your reply. Sandy On 7/6/07, Neil Overend <neiloverend@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
We run RHEL4, Standard Edition 9.2.0.8 with standby. I beleive that managed recovery is a Data Guard feature which is only available with Enterprise Edition. We log switch every 2 hours and ftp files from primary to standby (which satisfies our SLA). We manually recover as it's handy to be able to recover to a specific time (within 2 hours) and open read only and look at the data. Handy when users complain that the system has changed their data, with that and a bit of auditing we can usually point out why the user is wrong.
