DATAGUARD - Physical Standby on same machine

Creating Dataguard Physical Standby (in the same machine)
1) Primary - Enable Force Logging
2) Primary - Ensure Archivelog mode
3) Primary - Make pfile from spfile
4) Primary - Incorporate Changes in pfile
5) Primary - Create Standby Redo file Group & files (check sufficient MAXLOGFILES and MAXLOGMEMBERS values)
6) Primary - Create password file (if not there)
7) listener.ora - Add entries for additional listener
8) tnsnames.ora - Add entries for additional services
9) sqlnet.ora - Include SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME=2 DEFAULT_SDU_SIZE=32767
10) Primary - Shutdown immediate (for backup) or use RMAN online backup copy
11) Primary - Backup & Copy all datafiles to Standby file system location
12) Primary - Create a Backup Controlfile for use with the standby and copy the file to standby
SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE CREATE STANDBY CONTROLFILE AS '/tmp/boston.ctl';
13) Primary - Open database
SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
14) Standby - Copy the password file (or create a new one with same sys password as in Primary) and pfile from primary
15) Standby - Edit the pfile and change db_unique_name, control_files, log_archive_dest_i, db_filename_convert, log_filename_convert, FAL_server, FAL_Client
16) Standby - Startup mount
17)

SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
--
Check the log archiving and transfer by running the following on both Primary & Standby after executing ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE; in Primary
--
SELECT THREAD#, SEQUENCE#, ARCHIVED, STATUS FROM V$LOG;

--
SELECT MAX(SEQUENCE#), THREAD# FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG GROUP BY THREAD#;
--

SELECT DESTINATION, STATUS, ARCHIVED_THREAD#, ARCHIVED_SEQ# 
FROM V$ARCHIVE_DEST_STATUS 
WHERE STATUS <> 'DEFERRED' AND STATUS <> 'INACTIVE';
--

SELECT LOCAL.THREAD#, LOCAL.SEQUENCE# FROM 
(SELECT THREAD#, SEQUENCE# FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG WHERE DEST_ID=1) 
LOCAL WHERE 
LOCAL.SEQUENCE# NOT IN 
(SELECT SEQUENCE# FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG WHERE DEST_ID=2 AND 
THREAD# = LOCAL.THREAD#);
