Using Physical Standby for EBS 12 Environments on 11g Databases
Database disaster recovery, sometimes also lumped into the broader category of business continuity planning, is a topic that many EBS sysadmins seem to struggle with. Oracle Data Guardis a set of services that create, manage, and monitor one or more standby databases to enable a primary database to survive disasters and data corruption. If the primary database becomes unavailable because of a planned or an unplanned outage, Oracle Data Guard can switch a standby database to the primary role, minimizing the downtime.
We've previously published EBS-specific documentation covering this for 10gR2 databases:
Business Continuity for Oracle Applications Release 12 on Database Release 10gR2 - Single Instance and RAC(Note 452056.1)Our
EBS database architects have recently updated that documentation to
cover physical standby for both the 11gR1 and 11gR2 databases for
E-Business Suite 12 environments. This updated documentation has been
streamlined and updated with our latest recommendations for disaster
recovery environments using physical standby. It's published here:
