Supported standby configurations

-

• The Physical Standby database must have Active Data Guard enabled (available from Oracle 11g or later).

• When the Oracle LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameter is configured with the DELAY option, running a Full Load and Apply Changes task on an Oracle Physical Standby instance may result in missing or erroneous data in the target database.

  This happens because Replicate interprets the timestamp of changes in the Redo log as the timestamp of the Oracle instance from where it performed the Full Load, whereas it is in fact the timestamp of the Oracle instance where the changes occurred (i.e. the Primary Oracle instance). The resulting timestamp discrepancy means that some of the changes in the Redo log may be interpreted as “old” and not be replicated.

  This issue can be resolved using an internal parameter. For information on this parameter, please contact Qlik Support.

• Oracle Physical Standby only supports an Oracle Primary RAC instance where all nodes are open (available). In other words, an Oracle Primary RAC instance where some nodes are available and some are not is not supported.
