Somebody has a blog entry on how to reconstruct a missing broker configuration. I don't think it was automated but it got me out of jam once. I will try to find the link. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of TESTAJ3@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, September 09, 2011 9:04 AM To: Oracle-L@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: yes this is a re-run from about 1 year ago, DG Broker config dump? Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Well i opened an SR w/oracle and they said "that's an enhancement request, we'll get back to you", yea right. Anyways in the world of backup/recovery, i want to dump the DG broker config file into something readable, its binary and mostly useless. Before i embark on a shell script to do the various "show" configuration, database, instance and parse thru the info, anyone have any better ideas? thanks, joe PS: Someone at oracle want to give me the C structure for the file? :) -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
