Ankur,

On 9i, when a network connection is not dead but just slow, you may have a
problem. I've experienced problems with a live database. It actually
hanged  under heavy load.

I may not remember exact details, but it was definitely a problem because
archiver waited until remote archive would be created.

To fix this situation, look at hidden parameter _log_archive_callout and
set it to 'LOCAL_FIRST=TRUE'. If you make a search on metalink, you'll
find an article describing exactly mentioned above behavior and
recommending the mention parameter setup. 

I did not have a chance to really test it on a slow network myself yet.

Hi,

In a 9i managed standby database with primary and secondary in maximum
performance mode if arch is not able to archive to remote destination due
to n/w issues etc, it will retry archiving to remote destination depending
upon REOPEN and MAX_FAILURES parameter. But what if the n/w is slow (not
dead and arch is actively archiving redo log) and by the time it's
archiving to the remote destination all the log groups on primary are
filled and lgwr comes back to the group being archived currently for
reuse. Will the database hang? Or it will stop archiving to remote with
error message somewhere in dictionary?  I tried simulating but since I
have the test databases on lan couldn't simulate.

I think it will wait till it's archived to the remote. Anyone who has
faced similar situation or knows what might happen?

 

Thanks,

Ankur
