CO-79232 Oracle Database 12c: Data Guard Administration Summary Duration 4 Days Audience Database Administrators, Support Engineers and Technical Analysts Level Professional Technology Oracle Database 12c Delivery Method Instructor-led (Classroom) Training Credits Yes Introduction This four day instructor-led Oracle Database 12c: Data Guard Administration course training teaches you how to use Oracle Data Guard. Expert Oracle University instructors will demonstrate how this solution protects your Oracle database against planned and unplanned downtimes. You'll walk away from this course with an understanding of how Data Guard standby databases can be used to support various production functions. These functions include reporting, querying and testing, while in a standby role. This course will also teach you about the new Oracle Data Guard 12c features and architecture. You'll get a chance to explore topics like Oracle Active Data Guard, Far Sync, rolling upgrades and snapshot standby databases. Furthermore, enrolling in this course will help you learn how to manage and troubleshoot a Data Guard configuration.

Determine when to create a logical standby database Create a logical standby database Manage SQL Apply filtering Identify Unsupported Objects for Logical Standbys Create a Logical Standby (Temporarily a Physical) Start Redo Transport and Verify Operation Convert Physical Standby to Logical Standby Lesson 8: Oracle Data Guard Broker: Overview This lesson provides an overview of the Oracle Data Guard Broker. The Data Guard broker architecture Data Guard broker components Benefits of the Data Guard broker Data Guard broker configurations How to use Enterprise Manager to manage your Data Guard configuration How to invoke DGMGRL to manage your Data Guard configuration Lesson 9: Creating a Data Guard Broker Configuration This lesson describes how to create and manage a Data Guard configuration. Create a Data Guard broker configuration Manage the Data Guard broker configuration Establishing Local and Remote Connections with DGMGRL Create and Enable a Data Guard Broker Configuration Lesson 10: Monitoring a Data Guard Broker Configuration This lesson describes the use various techniques for monitoring Data Guard configurations.
Use Enterprise Manager Cloud Control to monitor the configuration Use DGMGRL to monitor the configuration Use SQL to monitor the configuration Monitoring the Physical Standby Database Examining Data Guard Log and Trace Files Lesson 11: Configuring Data Protection Modes This lesson describes the different data protection modes available in Data Guard. Describe the data protection modes Change the data protection mode of your configuration Using Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Using DGMGRL Using SQL Examining the Maximum Availability Protection Mode Examining the Maximum Protection Mode Lesson 12: Performing Role Transitions This lesson describes how to configure and perform database role transitions in a Data Guard environment. Explain the database roles Perform a switchover Perform a failover Performing Switchover Lesson 13: Using Flashback Database in a Data Guard Configuration This lesson explains the advantages and configuration of Flashback Database in a Data Guard environment. Explain the advantages of using Flashback Database in a Data Guard configuration Configure Flashback Database Configuring Flashback Database on the Primary Database Configuring Flashback Database on the Physical Standby Database Configuring Flashback Database on the Logical Standby Database Lesson 14: Enabling Fast-Start Failover This lesson explains how to configure and manage a fast-start failover. Configure fast-start failover View information about the fast-start failover configuration Manage the observer Perform role changes in a fast-start failover configuration Manually reinstate the primary database Enabling Fast-Start Failover
Testing Fast-Start Failover Switchover to Reinstated Database Lesson 15: Backup and Recovery Considerations in an Oracle Data Guard Configuration This lesson describes the considerations for backup and recovery operations in a Data Guard environment. Use Recovery Manager (RMAN) to back up and restore files in a Data Guard configuration Offload backups to a physical standby database Recover your primary database by using a file from the physical standby database Creating a Recovery Manager Catalog Registering Your Database in the Recovery Catalog Configuring RMAN Parameters Recovering a Data File on Your Primary Database Lesson 16: Enhanced Client Connectivity in a Data Guard Environment This lesson describes how to configure client connectivity in a Data Guard environment.
