Hi Nassyam, Thanks for your feedback. I have tried multiple configurations / attempts to setup downstream realtime capture. A restriction I have is that the Primary database cannot have a db link "to" the downsteam database. For the setup / instantiation I have a db link from the downsteam database to the Primary database. When I try: DBMS_CAPTURE_ADM.SET_PARAMETER( capture_name => 'STRM_CAPTURE', parameter => 'downstream_real_time_mine', value => 'Y'); I get the error ERROR at line 1: ORA-26761: Standby Redo Logs not available for real time mining ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOGREP_UTIL", line 177 ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_CAPTURE_ADM", line 291 ORA-06512: at line 6 Any pointers appreciated Rgds Tony On 29 September 2014 20:04, Nassyam Basha <nassyambasha@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Sorry for misreading your question. > I would like to know some *basic *information, > in order to avail realtime downstream capture, have you performed all the > necessary steps dblink creation, creating capture using DBMS_CAPTURE_ADM > and downstream_real_time_mine capture parameter enabled? > > Thanks. > > On Mon, Sep 29, 2014 at 7:28 PM, Tony Adolph <tony.adolph.dba@xxxxxxxxx> > wrote: > >> Hi Nassyam, >> >> Thanks for the feedback. >> >> The Remote Site is not in managed recovery mode.
