0. Introduction
PLEASE NOTE in 12c Data Guard is set up at the Container level and not the individual
Pluggable database level as the redo log files only belong to the Container database and the
individual pluggable databases do not have their own online redo log files.
Definition of Active Dataguard:
Oracle Active Data Guard enables read-only access to a physical standby database for queries,
sorting, reporting, web-based access, etc., while continuously applying changes received from
the production/primary database.

4. Configure a Standby Redo Log on Primary
Note :
-- Since we have 3 online redo log file groups, we need to create 4(3+1) Standby redo log
file groups
-- Standy Redo logs files come into picture only when protection mode is Maximum Availability
and Maximum Protection.

7. Transfer SPFILE AND PASSWORD FILE TO STANDBY SIDE
Copy the password file from the primary $ORACLE_HOME/dbs and rename it to the standby database name.
The username is required to be SYS and the password needs to be the same on the Primary and Standby.
The best practice for this is to copy the passwordfile as suggested.
The password file name must match the instance name/SID used at the standby site, not the DB_NAME.
[oracle@rac1 ~]$ scp initCDB1.ora oracle@rac2:/home/oracle/initCDB1_DG.ora

19. Verify the Physical Standby Database Is Performing Properly
The Pluggable database PDB1 has been opened in READ ONLY mode, but the Container Database is running as an Active
Standby database and applying changes as they are received from the primary even when the Standby Container database
and all the associated pluggable databases have been opened in read only mode. This means Active Dataguard is working..
On Primary

Session altered.

DataGuard Configuration in 12.2.0.

Definition of Active Dataguard:

DB Version : Oracle 12.2.0.1, File system: Normal

CDB Name : CDB1

PDB Name : PDB1

Oracle Home Path : /u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1

Server Name : RAC2.RAJASEKHAR.COM, IP: 192.168.2.102

DB Version : Oracle 12.2.0.1, File system: Normal

CDB Name : CDB1

Oracle Home Path : /u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1

2. Enable Forced Logging on Primary

SQL> select name, open_mode,cdb from v$database;

NAME OPEN_MODE CDB

--------- -------------------- ---

CDB1 READ WRITE YES <----

SQL> show con_name

SQL> col name for a30

SQL> select name,open_mode,con_id,dbid from v$containers;

NAME OPEN_MODE CON_ID DBID

------------------------------ ---------- ---------- ----------

CDB$ROOT READ WRITE 1 931007404

PDB$SEED READ ONLY 2 302211347

PDB1 READ WRITE 3 19275046

SQL> select force_logging from v$database;

SQL> ALTER DATABASE FORCE LOGGING;

SQL> select force_logging from v$database;

3. Check Password File on Primary

[oracle@rac1 dbs]$ pwd

[oracle@rac1 dbs]$ ls -ltr orapwCDB1

-rw-r-----. 1 oracle dba 3584 Oct 13 2017 orapwCDB1

SQL> show con_name

SQL> set lines 180

SQL> col MEMBER for a60

THREAD# GROUP# MEMBER BYTES

---------- ---------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------

SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE GROUP 5 ('/u01/app/oracle/oradata/CDB1/redo05.log')

SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE GROUP 6 ('/u01/app/oracle/oradata/CDB1/redo06.log')

SQL> select * from v$logfile;

GROUP# STATUS TYPE MEMBER IS_ CON_ID

---------- ------- ------- ------------------------------------------------------------ --- ----------

GROUP# MEMBER BYTES

---------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------

5. Verify Archive Mode Enabled on Primary

SQL> archive log list

Database log mode Archive Mode

Automatic archival Enabled

Archive destination /u02/arch/CDB1

Oldest online log sequence 7

Next log sequence to archive 9

Current log sequence 9

6. Set Primary Database Initialization Parameters

SQL> show parameter pfile;

NAME TYPE VALUE

------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------

spfile string /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0

SQL> create pfile='/home/oracle/initCDB1_before.ora' from spfile;

SQL> alter system set db_unique_name='CDB1' scope=spfile;

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG='DG_CONFIG=(CDB1,CDB1_DG)' scope=both;

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1='LOCATION=/u02/arch/CDB1

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='SERVICE=CDB1_DG LGWR ASYNC
