Exam A

QUESTION 1
Which two are true about database roles in an Oracle Data Guard Configuration? (Choose two.)

https://www.gratisexam.com/

A. A configuration consisting only of a primary and one or more physical standby databases can support a rolling release upgrade.
B. A Logical Standby Database can be converted to a Snapshot Standby Database.
C. A Logical Standby Database can cascade redo to a terminal destination.
D. A Snapshot Standby Database can be a fast-start failover target.
E. A Physical Standby Database can be converted into a Logical Standby Database.

Correct Answer: BE
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
B: A snapshot standby database can be converted back into a physical standby database at any time.

E: You create a logical standby database by first creating a physical standby database and then transitioning it to a logical standby database.

Incorrect Answers:
A: Oracle Database supports the installation of database software upgrades, and the application of patch sets, in a rolling fashion—with near zero database
downtime—by using Data Guard SQL Apply and logical standby databases.

C: A cascaded redo transport destination (also known as a terminal destination) receives primary database redo indirectly from a standby database rather than
directly from a primary database. Only physical standby databases can cascade redo.

D: A snapshot standby cannot be the target of a switchover or fast-start failover operation.

QUESTION 2
There are currently 6 APPLIER and 6 PREPARER processes running and no idle APPLIER processes on your logical standby database.

The MAX_SERVERS SQL apply parameter and number of archiver processes are both set to 12.

Identify two changes, each of which would allow you to increase the number of APPLIER processes. (Choose two.)

A. Increase the PROCESSES initialization parameter


B. Increase the value for the MAX_SERVERS SQL apply parameter.
C. Decrease the number of archiver processes on the standby database.
D. Increase the PARALLEL_MAX_SERVER initialization parameter
E. Decrease the number of PREPARER processes
F. Increase the RECOVERY_PARALLELISM initialization parameter

Correct Answer: BE
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
There are three parameters that can be modified to control the number of processes allocated to SQL Apply: MAX_SERVERS, APPLY_SERVERS, and
PREPARE_SERVERS. The following relationships must always hold true:

APPLY_SERVERS + PREPARE_SERVERS = MAX_SERVERS - 3

This is because SQL Apply always allocates one process for the READER, BUILDER, and ANALYZER roles.

QUESTION 3
Which three statements are true about snapshot standby databases? (Choose three.)

A. Snapshot standby databases may be used for rolling release upgrades.


B. If datafiles grow while a database is a snapshot standby database, then they shrink when converted back to a physical standby database.
C. Flashback logs are used to convert a snapshot standby database back into a physical standby database.
D. A snapshot standby database can have Real-Time Query enabled.
E. A guaranteed restore point is created automatically when a physical standby database is converted into a snapshot standby database.

Correct Answer: BCE

https://www.gratisexam.com/
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
C: Flashback Database is similar to conventional point-in-time recovery in its effects. It enables you to return a database to its state at a time in the recent past.
Flashback Database uses its own logging mechanism, creating flashback logs and storing them in the fast recovery area. You can only use Flashback Database if
flashback logs are available. Flashback Database is used to convert a snapshot standby database back into a physical standby database.

E: When we convert the physical standby database to snapshot standby database a guaranteed restore point is created. This guaranteed restore point is used to
flashback a snapshot standby database to its original state.

Incorrect Answers:
A: Oracle Database supports the installation of database software upgrades, and the application of patch sets, in a rolling fashion—with near zero database
downtime—by using Data Guard SQL Apply and logical standby databases.

QUESTION 4
Which three statements are true about Global Sequences when connected to a physical standby database with Real-Time Query enabled? (Choose three.)

A. If the CACHE option is set then the size of the cache must be at least 100.
B. Their creation requires that a LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter be defined in the standby that points back to their primary.
C. Their usage will always have a performance impact on the primary database.
D. Their usage may have a performance impact on the physical standby database if the CACHE size is too small
E. They must have the NOORDER and CACHE options set.

Correct Answer: BDE


Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
B: the terminal standby should have a LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter defined that points back to the primary.

D: Because the standby's requests for a range of sequences involve a round-trip to the primary, be sure to specify a large enough value for the CACHE keyword
when you create a sequence that will be used on an Oracle Active Data Guard standby. Otherwise, performance could suffer.

E: In an Oracle Active Data Guard environment, sequences created by the primary database with the default CACHE and NOORDER options can be accessed from

https://www.gratisexam.com/
standby databases as well.

Which are true?

A. The observer is not connected to the database on which the query was executed.
B. Cats is a bystander database.
C. The observer is connected to the database on which the query was executed.
D. The observer is currently running on ol7.example.com.
E. The observer is not running, but should run on ol7.example.com.

Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Viewing Information About the Observer
You can find information about the observer by querying the following columns in the V$DATABASE view:
* FS_FAILOVER_OBSERVER_HOST shows the name of the computer on which the observer is running. Here it is cats.

* FS_FAILOVER_OBSERVER_PRESENT shows whether or not the observer is connected to the local database. Here the value is

NO. Reference: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14230/sofo.htm

https://www.gratisexam.com/
QUESTION 6
Which three are true about using RMAN in a Data Guard environment? (Choose three.)

A. A recovery catalog is required when RMAN is used to take backups from a logical standby database in a Data Guard configuration if you plan to recover
the primary using those backups.
B. Backups of archived redo logs taken on a physical standby are interchangeable with a primary.
C. A recovery catalog is required when RMAN is used to take backups from a physical standby database if you plan to recover the primary using those backups.
D. Backups of control files taken on a physical standby are not interchangeable with a primary.
E. Backups of data files taken on a physical standby are interchangeable with a primary.

Correct Answer: BCE


Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
RMAN uses a recovery catalog to track filenames for all database files in a Data Guard environment. A recovery catalog is a database schema used by RMAN to
store metadata about one or more Oracle databases. The catalog also records where the online redo logs, standby redo logs, tempfiles, archived redo logs, backup
sets, and image copies are created.

RMAN commands use the recovery catalog metadata to behave transparently across different physical databases in the Data Guard environment. For example, you
can back up a tablespace on a physical standby database and restore and recover it on the primary database. Similarly, you can back up a tablespace on a primary
database and restore and recover it on a physical standby database.

Incorrect Answers:
A: Because a logical standby database is not a block-for-block copy of the primary database, you cannot use a logical standby database to back up the primary
database

D: Backups of standby control files and nonstandby control files are interchangeable. For example, you can restore a standby control file on a primary database
and a primary control file on a physical standby database. This interchangeability means that you can offload control file backups to one database in a Data Guard
environment. RMAN automatically updates the filenames for database files during restore and recovery at the databases.

QUESTION 7
A customer has these requirements for their proposed Data Guard implementation:

1. Zero data loss must still be guaranteed through the loss of any one configuration component.
2. The primary database must be protected against a regional disaster.

https://www.gratisexam.com/
3. Performance overheads on the primary should be minimized as much as possible given these requirements.
4. Downtime on the primary database for any reason must be kept to a minimum.

Components referred to in the broker commands are:

Which Data Guard broker commands are needed to implement these requirements?

A. EDIT DATABASE prima SET PROPERTY REDOROUTES=’ (LOCAL:physt1 FASTSYNC)’;


EDIT DATABASE prima SET PROPERTY REDOROUTES=’ (LOCAL:fs1 SYNC)’;
EDIT FAR_SYNC fs1 SET PROPERTY REDOROUTES=’ (prima:physt2 SYNC)’;
EDIT CONFIGURATION SET PROTECTION MODE AS MAXAVAILABILITY;
B. EDIT DATABASE prima SET PROPERTY REDOROUTES=’ (LOCAL:fs1 ASYNC)’;
EDIT FAR_SYNC fs1 SET PROPERTY REDOROUTES=’ (prima:physt FASTSYNC)’;
EDIT CONFIGURATION SET PROTECTION MODE AS MAXPROTECTION
C. EDIT DATABASE prima SET PROPERTY REDOROUTES=’ (LOCAL:fs1 SYNC)’;
EDIT FAR_SYNC fs1 SET PROPERTY REDOROUTES=’ (prima:physt ASYNC)’;
EDIT CONFIGURATION SET PROTECTION MODE AS MAXAVAILABILITY;
D. EDIT DATABASE prima SET PROPERTY REDOROUTES=’ (LOCAL:physt1 FASTSYNC)’;
EDIT DATABASE prima SET PROPERTY REDOROUTES=’ (LOCAL:fs1 FASTSYNC)’;
EDIT FAR_SYNC fs1 SET PROPERTY REDOROUTES=’ (prima:physt2 ASYNC)’;
EDIT CONFIGURATION SET PROTECTION MODE AS MAXAVAILABILITY;

Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
The route between fs1 and physical standbase in the remote region, like physt2, should be SYNC or SYNC NOAFFIRM.

Note:
Fast Sync is a new Data Guard capability available with Oracle Database 12c. Fast Sync enables use of the destination parameter NOAFFIRM which specifies
that the standby acknowledge receipt of redo without waiting for the write to the standby redo log file to complete. Fast Sync can improve application response
time in a SYNC configuration by removing remote I/O from the total round trip time.
https://www.gratisexam.com/
Active Data Guard Far Sync Architecture

Incorrect Answers:
B: There is no keyword FASTSYNC. To configure fast sync you use SYNC NOAFFIRM.
C: The route between fs1 and physical standbase in the remote region, like physt, should be SYNC, not ASYNC.
D: The route between fs1 and physical standbase in the remote region, like physt2, should be SYNC, not ASYNC.

Identify the task, or sequence of tasks, to bring the configuration into the SUCCESS state.

A. Bring Dogs to the NOMOUNT state and let the broker reinstate Dogs automatically.
B. MOUNT DOGS and issue “reinstate database dogs:” at the DGMGRL prompt while connected to Dogs.
C. MOUNT DOGS and issue “reinstate database dogs:” at the DGMGRL prompt while connected to Sheep.
D. Open Dogs and let the broker reinstate Dogs automatically.

Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:

https://www.gratisexam.com/
The command REINSTATE DATABASE reinstates a database as a new standby database in the broker configuration for the current primary database.

QUESTION 9
You are monitoring your Data Guard broker configuration and issue this set of DGMGRL commands:

DGMGRL> SHOW CONFIGURATION

Configuration ‒ DRSolution

Protection Mode: MaxPerformance


Databases:
Close_by ‒ Primary database
FS_inst ‒ Far Sync
Far_away ‒ Physical standby database

Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED

Configuration Status:
SUCCESS

What is true concerning this configuration?

A. The Close_by primary database instance forwards redo to the FS_inst Far Sync instance, which forwards the redo in turn to the Far_away physical
standby database instance.
B. The far sync instance will not forward redo to the Far_away physical standby because the Protection mode is not MaxProtection.
C. The close_by primary database forwards redo to the Far_away physical standby directly and also sends redo to the FS_inst Far Sync instance.
D. The far sync instance will not forward redo to the Far_away physical standby because Fast-Start Failover is disabled.
E. The FS_inst Far Sync instance forwards redo to the Far_away physical standby only if the close_by primary database is not able to do so.

Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
An Oracle Data Guard far sync instance is a remote Oracle Data Guard destination that accepts redo from the primary database and then ships that redo to other
members of the Oracle Data Guard configuration. A far sync instance manages a control file, receives redo into standby redo logs (SRLs), and archives those SRLs
to local archived redo logs, but that is where the similarity with standbys ends. A far sync instance does not have user data files, cannot be opened for access,
cannot run redo apply, and can never function in the primary role or be converted to any type of standby database.

QUESTION 10
After converting your physical standby database to a logical database, you get an error:

DGMGRL> show configuration

Configuration ‒ proddg

Protection Mode: MaxPerformance


Databases:
prod ‒ Primary database
prodsby ‒ Physical standby database
Error: ORA-16810 multiple errors or warnings detected for database
Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED
Configuration Status:
ERROR

How can you rectify the error?

A. Add a logical standby database PRODSBY and enable it, thereby replacing the physical standby database metadata in the broker configuration.
B. Remove the physical standby database PRODSBY from the broker configuration, add a logical standby database PRODSBY to the broker configuration
and enable it.
C. Reinstate the physical standby database PRODSBY as a logical standby, thereby replacing the physical standby database metadata in the broker configuration.
D. Reinstate both the primary and physical standby databases. The broker will automatically detect that PRODSBY is a logical standby update to the metadata.

Correct Answer: D
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
You can reenable the standby database or reset the primary database state to ONLINE to fix the inconsistencies.

Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
A: DDL Statements supported by a Logical Standby Database include:
ALTER INDEX
CREATE INDEX
DROP INDEX

C: DDL Statements supported by a Logical Standby Database include:


CREATE TABLE
DROP TABLE

Incorrect Answers:
D: The physical organization in a logical standby database is different from that of the primary database, even though the logical standby database is created from a
backup copy of the primary database.

F: DDL Statements not supported by a Logical Standby Database include:


CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW

QUESTION 12
A query on the view DBA_LOGSTDBY_UNSUPPORTED on your primary database returns several rows.

As a result of this, you decide that an upgrade may not use logical standby databases.

Which three are true about upgrading Data Guard environments consisting of one physical standby database running on a separate host from the primary? (Choose
three.)

https://www.gratisexam.com/
A. The upgrade requires downtime until the upgrade of the standby is completed.
B. The broker must be disabled during the upgrade.
C. With manual upgrade, catupgrd.sql can be executed on the primary and standby databases simultaneously.
D. The upgrade requires downtime until the upgrade of the primary is completed.
E. The new release of the Oracle Software must be installed on both the primary and standby database hosts.
F. Redo Apply on the standby database must be stopped while the primary database is upgraded.
G. Fast-Start Failover can be used to protect the primary database during the upgrade.

Correct Answer: BDE


Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
B: Disable the broker's management of the configuration and then stop the broker.

E: On the primary database install the newer release of the Oracle software, and on the logical standby database, install the newer release of the Oracle software.

Incorrect Answers:
C: Oracle Database 12c introduces a new command-line upgrade utility (catctl.pl). This utility replaces the catupgrd.sql script used to upgrade to previous
releases of Oracle Database. The new command-line upgrade utility enables parallel processing during the database upgrade, resulting in better upgrade
performance and reduced database downtime.

G: Disable fast-start failover if it is enabled.

QUESTION 13
You are licensed to use Oracle Active Data Guard.

Which two statements are true after enabling block change tracking on a physical standby database? (Choose two.)

A. It allows fast incremental backups to be offloaded to the physical standby database.


B. It starts the CTWR process on the physical standby database instance.
C. It allows fast incremental backups to be taken on the primary database.
D. It starts the RVWR process on the physical standby database instance.
E. It allows fast incremental backups to be offloaded to a snapshot standby database, when the physical standby database in converted.

https://www.gratisexam.com/
F. It starts the CTWR process on the primary database instance.

Correct Answer: AB
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
A: Many of the customers now are opting to perform RMAN backups on standby database to offload the resources of production database.
B: To enable Active Data Guard on a standby database, set the ENABLE_OPTION_ACTIVE_DATA_GUARD initialization parameter to TRUE.

Note: Fast Incremental backups is possible with Block change tracking, which is initially introduced from version 10.2 onwards, by this tool it's very useful to reduce
the RMAN incremental backup duration but it is limited only for Primary database. From 11g Oracle with Active Data Guard feature we can use Block change
tracking even on Physical standby database.

QUESTION 14
Which three are true regarding the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Data Guard configuration verification wizard? (Choose three.)

A. It checks that supplemental logging is turned on if there is a logical standby database in the configuration.
B. It verifies that parameter settings in the SPFILE or in memory or both, are consistent with the broker configuration properties for that database.
C. It checks that the current data protection level is consistent with the broker’s configured data protection mode.
D. It modifies the database configurable parameters to match the values set for the broker configuration.
E. It generates a workload on the primary database causing log switching, and monitors the arrival rate of redo on the standby database.

Correct Answer: ABC


Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Usually Data Guard configuration verification is kind of health check of Data Guard, it does many things like performing complete health check, verifying the
FSFO status, determination of protection mode, availability of standby redo log files, Data Guard status whether valid or not, After the log switch whether the
sequence is shipping to standby or not and Data Guard properties. To initiate Data Guard verification Navigation is "Availability --> Verify Data Guard
Configuration".

Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
B: Enabled forced logging on the primary database by issuing the following command.

ALTER DATABASE FORCE LOGGING;


-- Make sure at leat one logfile is present.
ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE;

C: Enable Broker
When we have a primary database and a standby database, we need to start using the Data Guard Broker to manage them. Connect to both databases (primary

QUESTION 16
In which two cases is it possible to change the protection mode to maximum protection using Enterprise Manager Cloud Control? (Choose two.)

A. A snapshot standby database is the only standby database in the Data Guard configuration.
B. A logical standby database is the only standby database in the data guard configuration.
C. A far sync instance is the only Data Guard configuration member receiving redo in synchronous mode.
D. Flashback is not enabled for either the primary database, the standby database, or both in the Data Guard configuration.
E. The primary and standby databases are hosted on different operating systems.

Correct Answer: BE
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Maximum protection mode requires the SYNC redo transport mode to be set on at least one standby database.

Note:
The Maximum protection mode ensures that no data loss will occur if the primary database fails. To provide this level of protection, the redo data needed to
recover a transaction must be written to both the online redo log and to the standby redo log on at least one synchronized standby database before the transaction
commits.
https://www.gratisexam.com/
To ensure that data loss cannot occur, the primary database will shut down, rather than continue processing transactions, if it cannot write its redo stream to at least
one synchronized standby database.

QUESTION 17
Which two are true about the usage of DBMS_ROLLING? (Choose two.)

A. The leading group contains the original primary database.


B. The trailing group contains the original primary database.
C. The background process DMON must be enabled on all database instances that take part in the rolling release upgrade process.
D. At least one logical standby database must be part of the initial Data Guard configuration.
E. The trailing group can contain standby databases that will protect the original primary database during the rolling release upgrade process.

Correct Answer: DE
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
E: The trailing group contains the original primary database and standby databases that will protect the original primary during the rolling upgrade process.

D: Databases in the leading group are upgraded first; hence the name leading group. The leading group contains the designated future primary database, and the
physical standbys that you can configure to protect the designated future primary. The future primary is first converted into a logical standby database and then
the new database software is installed on it and the upgrade process is run. Other standby databases in the leading group also must have their software upgraded
at this point.

Note: To upgrade the database software in an Oracle Data Guard configuration in a rolling fashion, you first designate a physical standby as the future primary
database.

Conceptually, the rolling upgrade process splits the Oracle Data Guard configuration into two groups: the leading group (LG) and the trailing group (TG).

Incorrect Answers:
A: The leading group contains the designated future primary database, and the physical standbys that you can configure to protect the designated future primary.

QUESTION 18
Which three statements are true about Far Sync instances? (Choose three.)

https://www.gratisexam.com/
A. The Data Guard Broker must be used to deploy and manage Far Sync instances.
B. They enable standby databases to be configured at remote distances from the primary without impacting performance on the primary.
C. A primary database can ship redo directly to multiple Far Sync instances.
D. They use an spfile, a standby controlfile, and standby redo logs.
E. They work with any protection level.

Correct Answer: ABD


Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
A: The far sync instance is added to a Data Guard broker configuration.
B: Creating a far sync instance is similar to creating a physical standby except that data files do not exist at the far sync instance. Therefore, on a far sync instance
there is no need to copy data files or restore data files from a backup. Once the far sync instance has been created, the configuration is modified to send redo
synchronously from the primary database to the far sync instance in Maximum Availability mode and the far sync instance then forwards the redo asynchronously
in real time.

D: Creating and Configuring a Far Sync Instance


Take the following steps to create a far sync
instance:
1. Create the control file for the far sync instance.
2. Create a parameter file (PFILE) from the server parameter file (SPFILE) used by the primary database.
3. Create a server parameter file (spfile) from the edited parameter file (pfile) to facilitate any subsequent changes to parameter values.
4. Use an operating system copy utility to copy the far sync instance control file created in Step 1 and the server parameter file (spfile) created in Step 3 from
the primary system to the appropriate locations on the far sync instance system.
5. Create standby redo logs in the same way they are created for a regular
standby. Etc.

Incorrect Answers:
C: A far sync instance manages a control file, receives redo into standby redo logs (SRLs), and archives those SRLs to local archived redo logs.
E: A far sync instance is supported in either maximum performance or maximum availability mode only.

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
BE: The broker simplifies switchovers and failovers by allowing you to invoke them using a single key click in Oracle Enterprise Manager or a single command at the
DGMGRL command-line interface (referred to in this documentation as manual failover).

C: The broker coordinates database state transitions and update database properties dynamically with the broker recording the changes in a broker configuration
file that includes profiles of all the databases in the configuration. The broker propagates the changes to all databases in the configuration and their server
parameter files.

A. It can be used for database rolling release upgrades.


B. It can be used to replicate a single pluggable database (PDB) in a multitenant container database.
C. It can be used as an updatable database for Real Applicationt Testing and then converted back to a standby database without affecting the updates.
D. It can be used for reporting workloads requiring additional indexes or materialized views or both.
E. It provides a disaster-recovery solution with switchover and failover options that can recover any data updated on the primary database.
F. It can be used for testing patchsets without affecting the primary database.

Correct Answer: CDF


Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
C: A logical standby database can be used to test new software releases and some kinds of applications on a complete and accurate copy of the primary's data. It
can host other applications and additional schemas while protecting data replicated from the primary against local changes.
D: A logical standby database is open read/write while changes on the primary are being replicated. Consequently, a logical standby database can
simultaneously be used to meet many other business requirements, for example it can run reporting workloads that would problematical for the primary's
throughput.
F: Logical standby can be used to greatly reduce downtime associated with applying patchsets and new software releases. A logical standby can be upgraded to
the new release and then switched over to become the active primary. This allows full availability while the old primary is converted to a logical standby and the
patchset is applied.

QUESTION 24
Which two are prerequisites for enabling Automatic Block Media Recovery in a Data Guard environment consisting of a primary database, one physical standby
database and one logical standby database? (Choose two.)

A. FLASHBACK DATABASE must be enabled on the physical standby database.


B. There must be connectivity between the primary and the physical standby database.
C. FLASHBACK DATABASE must be enabled on the primary database.
D. The physical standby database must have Real-Time Apply enabled.
E. The logical standby database must have Real-Time Query enabled.

Correct Answer: CD
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
C: Flashback Database must be enabled on the target database for RMAN to search the flashback logs for good copies of corrupt blocks. You must have already
enabled Flashback Database on the original primary database before the failover.

D: Block media recovery is a technique for restoring and recovering corrupt data blocks while data files are online. If only a few blocks are corrupt, then block
media recovery may be preferable to data file media recovery. For automatic block media recovery to work, a physical standby database must be in real-time
query mode, which requires an Oracle Active Data Guard license.

QUESTION 26
Which three statements are true about standby redo logs in a Data Guard configuration with no Oracle Streams or Goldengate configured? (Choose three.)

A. They are required on a logical standby for real-time apply.


B. They are required only for synchronous redo transport.
C. Only standby databases can write redo to them.
D. It is recommended to have them on the primary database.
E. They are required on a physical standby for real-time apply.
F. The LGWR process writes to them on a standby database.

https://www.gratisexam.com/
Correct Answer: ACE
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
A: SQL Apply converts the data from the archived redo log or standby redo log in to SQL statements and then executes these SQL statements on the logical
standby database.

Note: Log apply services use the following methods to maintain physical and logical standby databases:
* Redo apply (physical standby databases only)
* SQL Apply (logical standby databases only)

E: Standby redo log files are required to use real-time apply.


By default, the redo data is applied from archived redo log files. When performing Redo Apply, a physical standby database can use the real-time apply feature to
apply redo directly from the standby redo log files as they are being written by the RFS process.

Applying Redo Data to Physical Standby Databases

C: The archiver (ARCn) process or the log writer (LGWR) process on the primary database can transmit redo data directly to remote standby redo log files,
potentially eliminating the need to register a partial archived log file (for example, to recover after a standby database crashes).

Incorrect Answers:
B: A: Standby redo log files are required to use real-time apply.
D: Standby redo log files are access by the Standby Database, not the primary database.
F: By default, the redo data is applied from archived redo log files. When performing Redo Apply, a physical standby database can use the real-time apply feature to
apply redo directly from the standby redo log files as they are being written by the RFS process, (ot the LGWR process).

Which two are prerequisites for configuring Transaction Guard in a Data Guard environment? (Choose two.)

A. Grant execute permission on the DBMS_APP_CONT package to relevant database schema owners.
B. Create a database service with COMMIT_OUTCOME set to TRUE, and ensure clients use that service to connect to the database instance.
C. Ensure that connection descriptors for database clients use the failover clause with the COMMIT_OUTCOME parameter set to TRUE.
D. Set INSTANCE_NAME identically on all the Data Guard Configuration databases and modify the local service name on the client to include
a CONNECTION_LIST containing all the standby hosts.
E. Create a database service with COMMIT_OUTCOME set to TRUE and ensure that the service is statically registered with the default listener on the primary host.

https://www.gratisexam.com/
Correct Answer: AB
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
To use Transaction Guard with an application, you must do the following:
* Grant permission on the DBMS_APP_CONT package to the database users who will call

GET_LTXID_OUTCOME: GRANT EXECUTE ON DBMS_APP_CONT TO <user-name>;

* Use an application service for all database work. Create the service using the srvctl command if you are using Oracle RAC, or using
the DBMS_SERVICE.CREATE_SERVICE PL/SQL subprogram if you are not using Oracle RAC.

Configure the services for commit outcome and retention. For example:

COMMIT_OUTCOME = TRUE
RETENTION_TIMEOUT = <retention-value>
COMMIT_OUTCOME determines whether transaction commit outcome is accessible after the commit has executed.

C. Backups of SPFILEs taken on a physical standby database may not be restored on the primary database.
D. Backups of control files taken on a physical standby database may be restored on the primary database.
E. Backups of data files taken on a physical standby database may be restored on a primary database.
F. Backups of SPFILEs taken on the primary database may not be restored and used on a physical standby database.

Correct Answer: CEF


Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
C, F: All backup operations can be offloaded to a single standby database, except backups of the SPFILE. Backups of the SPFILE can only be restored to the

E: RMAN restores database files, over the network, from a physical standby database.
As of Oracle Database 12c, RMAN lets you restore or recover files by connecting, over the network, to a physical standby database that contains the required files.
You can restore an entire database, data files, control files, spfile, or tablespaces.

Note: An Oracle database consists of one or more logical storage units called tablespaces, which collectively store all of the database's data. Each tablespace in an
Oracle database consists of one or more files called datafiles, which are physical structures that conform to the operating system in which Oracle is running.

https://www.gratisexam.com/
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Execution: Execution of the rolling upgrade has five stages.

Stage 1 (5): The DBMS_ROLLING.START_PLAN procedure starts the execution of the rolling upgrade. This converts the LGM database, the future primary
database, to a logical standby and starts the SQL Apply process at the LGM.

Stage 2 (2): You upgrade the database software at the databases that are part of the leading group. You also run the upgrade scripts at the LGM. After this is done,
you must restart SQL Apply processes at the LGM database.

Stage 3 (4): After the apply lag reaches a given threshold (set to 10 minutes by default, but can be configured during the specification stage), the
DBMS_ROLLING.SWITCHOVER procedure proceeds with the switchover operation. When the switchover is complete, the LGM becomes the primary database.

Stage 4: The LGM is now the primary database running the new database software and the databases in the leading group are protecting it. The TGM is
mounted and the databases in the trailing group are still running the older version of the database software. You must prepare the TGM and TGS databases for
upgrade by upgrading the database software and re-mounting the databases on the higher version binaries.

Stage 5 (3, 6): Execute the DBMS_ROLLING.FINISH_PLAN procedure at the current primary database (originally the LGM). It reinstates all the databases in the
trailing group to become the standbys of the current primary database, and restarts the apply processes. The FINISH_PLAN procedure waits for all databases in the
trailing group to be upgraded to the new release (although the database software for the trailing group databases was changed in Stage 4, the data dictionary of the
trailing group databases, except for any logical standbys in the trailing group, are updated based on media recovery of the redo generated during the upgrade at the
LGM database).

Note: To upgrade the database software in an Oracle Data Guard configuration in a rolling fashion, you first designate a physical standby as the future primary
database.

Conceptually, the rolling upgrade process splits the Oracle Data Guard configuration into two groups: the leading group (LG) and the trailing group (TG).

Databases in the leading group are upgraded first; hence the name leading group. The leading group contains the designated future primary database, and the
physical standbys that you can configure to protect the designated future primary. The future primary is first converted into a logical standby database and then the
new database software is installed on it and the upgrade process is run. Other standby databases in the leading group also must have their software upgraded at
this point.

Which three are prerequisites for enabling Fast-Start Failover? (Choose three.)

A. The Fast-Start Failover target standby database must receive REDO directly from the primary database.
B. Flashback Database must be enabled on both the primary database and the Fast-Start Failover target standby database.
C. Flashback Database must be enabled only on the Fast-Start Failover target standby database.
D. The configuration must be operating in either Maximum Performance or Maximum Availability mode.
E. The configuration must be operating in either Maximum Performance or Maximum Protection mode.
F. The Data Guard environment must be managed by the Data Guard Broker.

Correct Answer: BDF


Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
B: You enable the Flashback Mode both on the primary database and on the standby database.

D: In Maximum Availability mode, Fast-Start Failover (FSFO) guarantees that no transaction that has received a commit acknowledgment will be lost during a
failover.
Oracle Database 11g FSFO adds support for Maximum Performance mode (async redo transfer), providing the flexibility to trade durability for performance.

F: The Dataguard Broker Observer (Observer) is used when fast start failover is required. Fast start failover is simply an automatic failover to the standby database

E. maintaining information about all members of the broker configuration in binary configuration files

Correct Answer: ABE


Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
A: Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control (Cloud Control) works with the Oracle Data Guard monitor to automate and simplify the management of an Oracle
Data Guard configuration.

With Cloud Control, the complex operations of creating and managing standby databases are simplified through Oracle Data Guard management pages and
wizards, including:

When two statements are true? (Choose two.)

A. Sdbd can still apply redo.


B. The recovery point objective increases.
C. The protection mode is lowered to maximum performance.
D. The recovery time objective increases.
E. Sbdb can still receive redo

Correct Answer: DE
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
E: A snapshot standby database receives and archives, but does not apply, redo data from a primary database.

D: Snapshot standby databases are best used in scenarios where the benefit of having a temporary, updatable snapshot of the primary database justifies additional
administrative complexity and increased time to recover from primary database failures.

Note: Redo data received from the primary database is applied when a snapshot standby database is converted back into a physical standby database, after
discarding all local updates to the snapshot standby database.
The data in the primary database is fully protected however, because a snapshot standby can be converted back into a physical standby database at any time,
and the redo data received from the primary will then be applied.

Which two are true? (Choose two.)

A. The observer must run on host ol5.example.com and is currently not running.
B. The observer will reinstate Sheep automatically after a failover, if required.
C. The observer will mark another standby database as the failover target if the original failover target becomes unavailable.
D. The observer will detect if the primary database is unable to accept new connections.
E. The former primary database will not be reinstated automatically after a failover.

Correct Answer: BE
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
B: . If fast-start failover is enabled, the observer will automatically reinstate the standby databases after failover has completed.
E: FastStartFailoverAutoReinstate= ‘FALSE’ means that the former primary database will not be reinstated automatically after a failover,

Note: The FastStartFailoverAutoReinstate configuration property causes the former primary database to be automatically reinstated if a fast-start failover was
initiated because the primary database was either isolated or had crashed. To prevent automatic reinstatement of the former primary database in these cases, set
this configuration property to FALSE.

The observer is the third party in an otherwise typical primary/standby Data Guard configuration. Only the observer can initiate FSFO failover. It's secondary job is
to automatically reinstate a failed primary as a standby if that feature is enabled (the default).

Incorrect Answers:
A: The observer is running.
B: Sheep is neither the primary database, nor the failover target.
D: By default, the observer will initiate failover to the target standby if and only if ALL of the following are true:
* observer is running
* observer and the standby both lose contact with the primary
Note: if the observer loses contact with the primary, but the standby does not, the observer can determine that the primary is still up via the standby.
* observer is still in contact with the standby
* durability constraints are met
* failover threshold timeout has elapsed

QUESTION 46
You must configure an Oracle Data Guard environment consisting of:

1. A primary database
2. A Physical Standby Database
3. A Snapshot Standby Database

You must meet these

requirements:

1. Primary database availability should not be compromised by the availability of the standby databases.
2. Under normal operations, transactions executed on the primary database should not commit before redo is written to disk on the primary database and on at
least one standby database.

Which redo transport mode, and which protection mode should you configure to meet these requirements?

A. SYNC AFFIRM and Maximum Protection


B. SYNC NOAFFIRM and Maximum Protection
C. SYNC AFFIRM and Maximum Availability
D. SYNC NOAFFIRM and Maximum Availability
E. ASYNC and Maximum Performance

Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
The Maximum Availability protection mode provides the highest level of data protection that is possible without compromising the availability of a primary database.
Transactions do not commit until all redo data needed to recover those transactions has been written to the online redo log and to at least one synchronized standby
database. If the primary database cannot write its redo stream to at least one synchronized standby database, it operates as if it were in maximum performance
mode to preserve primary database availability until it is again able to write its redo stream to a synchronized standby database.

This mode ensures that no data loss will occur if the primary database fails, but only if a second fault does not prevent a complete set of redo data from being sent
from the primary database to at least one standby database.

When a transport is performed using SYNC/AFFIRM, the primary performs write operations and waits for acknowledgment that the redo has been transmitted
synchronously to the physical standby and written to disk. A SYNC/AFFIRM transport provides an additional protection benefit at the expense of a
https://www.gratisexam.com/
performance impact caused by the time required to complete the I/O to the standby redo log.

https://www.gratisexam.com/
Incorrect Answers:
D: In the case of SYNC/NOAFFIRM, in which there is no check that data has been written to disk on the standby, there may be some data loss.

A, B: The Maximum Protection mode ensures that zero data loss occurs if a primary database fails. To provide this level of protection, the redo data needed to
recover a transaction must be written to both the online redo log and to at least one synchronized standby database before the transaction commits. To ensure that
data loss cannot occur, the primary database will shut down, rather than continue processing transactions, if it cannot write its redo stream to at least one
synchronized standby database.

Because this data protection mode prioritizes data protection over primary database availability, Oracle recommends that a minimum of two standby databases
be used to protect a primary database that runs in maximum protection mode to prevent a single standby database failure from causing the primary database to
shut down.

E: The Maximum Performance protection mode provides the highest level of data protection that is possible without affecting the performance of a primary
database. This is accomplished by allowing transactions to commit as soon as all redo data generated by those transactions has been written to the online log.
Redo data is also written to one or more standby databases, but this is done asynchronously with respect to transaction commitment, so primary database
performance is unaffected by delays in writing redo data to the standby database(s).

This protection mode offers slightly less data protection than maximum availability mode and has minimal impact on primary database performance.

This is the default protection mode.

Which four statements are true regarding SQL Apply filters for a logical standby database? (Choose four.)

A. They can be used to skip execution of DML triggers on a table while allowing the DML to execute.
B. They can be used to skip ALTER SYSTEM and ALTER DATABASE commands.
C. They can be used to stop SQL apply if it encounters an error.
D. They can be used to skip all SQL statements executed on a specific pluggable database (PDB) within a standby multitenant container database (CDB).
E. They can only be used to skip DML statements on a table.
F. They can be used to skip ALTER TABLE commands on a specific tables.
G. They can be used to skip CREATE TABLE commands.

Correct Answer: ACFG


Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:

https://www.gratisexam.com/
A: The DDL fires DML triggers defined on the target table. Since the triggered DMLs occur in the same transaction as the DDL, and operate on the table that is the
target of the DDL, these triggered DMLs will not be replicated at the logical standby.

C: The SKIP_ERROR Procedure specifies rules regarding what action to take upon encountering errors

F: You can specify rules to prevent application of DML and DDL changes to the specific table.

G: Use the SKIP procedure with caution, particularly when skipping DDL statements. If a CREATE TABLE statement is skipped, for example, you must also specify
other DDL statements that refer to that table in the SKIP procedure. Otherwise, the statements will fail and cause an exception. When this happens, SQL Apply
stops running.

Incorrect Answers:
B: ALTER SYSTEM and ALTER DATABASE commands cannot be skipped.
E: You can specify rules to prevent application of DML and DDL changes to the specific table.

D. the rate of redo generation on the primary database
E. the number and size of standby redo logs on the standby database

Correct Answer: ABE


Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Consider using the following methods to optimize the time it takes to apply redo to physical standby databases.
* (B) Set Parallel Recovery to Twice the Number of CPUs on One Standby Host
* (E) During media recovery or Redo Apply, the redo log file is read, and data blocks that require redo application are parsed out. With parallel media recovery,
these data blocks are subsequently distributed evenly to all recovery processes to be read into the buffer cache. The default is serial recovery or zero
parallelism, which implies that the same recovery process reads the redo, reads the data blocks from disk, and applies the redo changes.

Correct Answer: ABD
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
You can use files on a standby database to recover a lost datafile.
Start RMAN and take the following steps to copy the datafiles from the standby to the primary:

1. Connect to the standby database as the target database


2. (A) Connect to the primary database as the auxiliary database
3. Back up the datafile on the standby host across the network to a location on the primary host. (This step, E, is assumed to have been taken already).
4. Exit the RMAN client
5. Start RMAN and connect to the primary database as target, and to the recovery catalog
6. (B, D) Use the CATALOG DATAFILECOPY command to catalog this datafile copy so that RMAN can use
it. CATALOG DATAFILECOPY '/disk9/df2copy.dbf';
Then use the SWITCH DATAFILE command to switch the datafile copy so that /disk9/df2copy.dbf becomes the current datafile:

RUN {
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 2 TO '/disk9/df2copy.dbf';
SWITCH DATAFILE 2;
}

QUESTION 55
Your expertise is requested for these customer requirements:

1. The Data Guard environment must be in maximum protection mode.


2. Reports must be offloaded to a physical standby database.
3. There must be no lag between the primary and standby databases that affect the reports produced.
4. The primary database must be resilient in case of a single network failure.

Which solution is correct for these requirements?

A. two standby databases, at least one of them a physical standby with Real-Time Query enabled and the STANDBY_MAX_DELAY parameter set to zero,
receiving redo from the primary with asynchronous transport
B. two standby databases, at least one of them a physical standby with Real-Time Query enabled and the STANDBY_MAX_DATA_DELAY parameter set to
zero, receiving redo from the primary with synchronous transport
C. one physical standby database with Real-Time Query enabled, receiving redo from two Far Sync instances that are connected the primary
D. one physical standby database with Real-Time Query enabled and the STANDBY_MAX_DATA_DELAY parameter set to zero, receiving redo from the primary

https://www.gratisexam.com/
with synchronous transport
E. two physical standby databases with Real-Time Query enabled, receiving redo from the primary with the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n attributes SYNC
NOAFFIRM to minimize the performance impact on the primary

Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
If STANDBY_MAX_DATA_DELAY is set to 0, a query issued to a physical standby database is guaranteed to return the exact same result as if the query were
issued on the primary database, unless the standby database is lagging behind the primary database, in which case an ORA-3172 error is returned.

Real-time Query Restrictions include:


The standby database must receive redo data via the SYNC transport.

Note: In an Active Data Guard environment, this session parameter can be used to specify a session-specific apply lag tolerance, measured in seconds, for queries
issued by non-administrative users to a physical standby database that is in real-time query mode.

Incorrect Answers:
C, D: Maximum Protection mode ensures that zero data loss occurs if a primary database fails.
Because this data protection mode prioritizes data protection over primary database availability, Oracle recommends that a minimum of two standby databases
be used to protect a primary database that runs in maximum protection mode to prevent a single standby database failure from causing the primary database to
shut down.

E: Should use STANDBY_MAX_DATA_DELAY parameter set to zero.

QUESTION 58
Examine the Data Guard configuration:

https://www.gratisexam.com/
DGMGRL> show configuration;

Configuration ‒ Animals

Protection Mode: MaxAvailability

Databases:
dogs ‒ Primary database
dogsfs1 ‒ Far Sync
sheep ‒ Physical standby database

Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED

Configuration Status:
SUCCESS

An attempt to enable fast-start failover raises an error:

DGMGRL> enable fast_start failover;


Error: ORA-16693: requirements not met for enabling fast-start failover
Failed.

Identify two possible reasons for this error. (Choose two.)

A. The FastStartFailoverTarget property is not set on Sheep.


B. The FastStartFailoverTarget property is not set on Dogs.
C. The FastStartFailoverTarget property is not set on DogsFS1.
D. The LogXptMode property is set to ASYNC on Dogs.
E. The RedoRoutes property is not set on Dogs.
F. The RedoRoutes property is not set on DogsFS1.

Correct Answer: AD
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
D: Ensure that the LogXptMode property for both the primary database and the Fast-Start Failover target standby database are SYNC.

A: If more than one physical or logical standby database exists, in this case it is the sheep database, you must specify the FastStartFailoverTarget value explicitly,
prior to enabling fast-start failover. The indicated target is verified when fast-start failover is enabled.

QUESTION 59
Your Data Guard environment consists of these components and settings:

1. A primary database
2. A remote physical standby database
3. Real-time query is enabled.
4. The redo transport mode is set to SYNC.
5. The protection mode is set to Maximum Availability.

You notice that queries executed on the physical standby database receive errors:

ORA- 03172: STANDBY_MAX_DATA_DELAY of 15 seconds exceeded.

Which two would you recommend to avoid this error? (Choose two.)

A. Change the protection mode to Maximum Performance.


B. Increase the size of the buffer cache on the standby database instance.
C. Reduce I/O latency for the storage used by the primary database.
D. Change the protection mode to Maximum Protection.
E. Increase the network bandwidth between the primary and standby databases.
F. Increase the number of standby redo log files on the primary database.

Correct Answer: AE
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:

https://www.gratisexam.com/
Explanation:
A: Maximum Performance
This protection mode provides the highest level of data protection that is possible without affecting the performance of a primary database. This is accomplished by
allowing transactions to commit as soon as all redo data generated by those transactions has been written to the online log. Redo data is also written to one or
more standby databases, but this is done asynchronously with respect to transaction commitment, so primary database performance is unaffected by delays in
writing redo data to the standby database(s).

E: Increasing the bandwidth would decrease the lag.

Note: If STANDBY_MAX_DATA_DELAY is set to a non-zero value, a query issued to a physical standby database will be executed only if the apply lag is less
than or equal to STANDBY_MAX_DATA_DELAY. Otherwise, an ORA-3172 error is returned to alert the client that the apply lag is too large.

QUESTION 60
Which two Data Guard monitoring activities may be performed using Enterprise Manager Cloud Control? (Choose two.)

A. monitoring the redo apply rate on a physical standby


B. monitoring the redo apply rate on a logical standby
C. monitoring the undo generation rate on a logical standby
D. monitoring the redo apply rate on a snapshot standby
E. monitoring the transport lag
F. monitoring the undo generation rate on the primary

Correct Answer: AE
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
A: On the Data Guard Performance page, you can monitor the Redo Generation Rate in the Primary database, and the Apply Rate and Lag Times in the Standby
Database.

E: Look at the Standby Database Progress Summary Section. This displays the Transport lag and the Apply lag in a bar chart format. The Transport lag is the time
difference between the last update on the primary database, and the last received redo on the standby. Whereas, the Apply lag is the same difference but pertaining
to the last applied redo on the standby.

QUESTION 61
Which two Data Guard features require the use of flashback database by the broker? (Choose two.)

A. Read-Mostly physical standby implementations


B. Far Sync Instances
C. Fast-Start Failover
D. Real Time Query
E. Snapshot Standby databases

Correct Answer: CE
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
C: Prerequisites that must be met before the broker allows you to enable fast-start failover include: Enable Flashback Database and set up a fast recovery area on
both the primary database and the target standby database.

E: Introduced in 11g, snapshot standby allows the standby database to be opened in read-write mode. When switched back into standby mode, all changes made
whilst in read-write mode are lost. This is achieved using flashback database, but the standby database does not need to have flashback database explicitly
enabled to take advantage of this feature, thought it works just the same if it is.

QUESTION 62
You have a Data Guard Broker configuration called ‘Somewhere’ as shown:

DGMGRL> SHOW CONFIGURATION;

Configuration ‒ Somewhere

Protection Mode: MaxPerformance


Databases:
Nearby ‒ Primary database
FS ‒ Far Sync
Farout ‒ Physical standby database

Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED

Configuration Status:
SUCCESS

https://www.gratisexam.com/
You then run this command:

DGMGRL > SHOW DATABASE ‘Nearby’ ‘InconsistentProperties’;

Which two are true about the output of this DGMGRL command? (Choose two.)

A. A far sync instance cannot have inconsistent properties because it has no database.
B. It shows all properties whose broker configuration values for database Nearby are inconsistent with the broker configuration values for database Farout.
C. It shows all properties whose broker configuration values for database Nearby are inconsistent with the values in the corresponding server parameter file or
the runtime values for database instance Nearby.
D. Any inconsistency reported is on an instance-specific basis.

Correct Answer: CD
Section: (none)
Explanation

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
C: InconsistentProperties arises out of mismatch of parameter values between spfile, Data Guard Broker configuration and the database.

D (not A): The InconsistentProperties monitorable property returns a table that shows all properties whose values contained in the broker configuration file are
inconsistent with the values in the corresponding server parameter file or the runtime values.
Although the properties reported in this table are database-specific or far sync instance-specific properties, the inconsistency is reported on an instance-specific
basis.

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
D: Create the Broker Configuration
When using Cloud Control, the Add Standby Database wizard can either add an existing (Oracle RAC or non-Oracle RAC) standby database into the
configuration or create a new (Oracle RAC or non-Oracle RAC) standby database and add it to the configuration.

E: An Oracle Data Guard configuration must be enabled to be managed or monitored by the broker.

Note: An Oracle Data Guard configuration consists of one primary database and a combination of standby databases and far sync instances that receive redo
directly from the primary database. The Oracle Data Guard broker logically groups these primary and standby databases into a broker configuration that allows the
broker to manage and monitor them together as an integrated unit.

Incorrect Answers:
