I fought it out=20 >>by digging to the Dataguard guide.Pls follow this >>FAL_SERVER =3D3D <Primary_Server TNS Entry> in Standby Database >>FAL_CLIENT =3D3D<Standby Server TNS Entry> in the primary database. but the data guard docs say that both of these should be set on standby database. that's what confused me. okay , let me try as u said. >>I guess the "no data loss mode " isin't called that way any more >>You have MAXIMIZE PROTECTION -- This Equates to no data loss mode. >>MAXIMIZE AVAILABILITY MAXIMIZE PERFORMANCE u r right sriram . that is what i meant .

OR am i OFF the track regarding online redo logs ? Sri:Well the moment you say its maximize protection(Zero data loss), The = LGWR takes charge of ensuring that the Logfiles and the remote standby = redolog files are in sync. The transaction would be signaled a commit = iff the transaction is applied to log file and the standby redolog file. = So don't worry abt placing your log files in a Shared storage you wont = need them for this protection mode Thanks and Regards, Prem. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: This message contains privileged and confidential information and is = intended only for the individual named.If you are not the intended = recipient you should not disseminate,distribute,store,print, copy or = deliver this message.Please notify the sender immediately by e-mail if = you have received this e-mail by mistake and delete this e-mail from = your system.E-mail transmission cannot be guaranteed to be secure or = error-free as information could be = intercepted,corrupted,lost,destroyed,arrive late or incomplete or = contain viruses.The sender therefore does not accept liability for any = errors or omissions in the contents of this message which arise as a = result of e-mail transmission.
