#SWITCHOVER STEPS:-
ON?PRIMARY PROD
1.1.1 Preparing for switchover to standby server
1. Verify the primary database instance is open and standby database instance is
mounted.
2. Verify there are no active users connected to the database. Shut down all the
sessions in
the primary database.
3. Ensure that the last redo data transmitted from the primary database was appl
ied on the
standby database. Issue the following SQL command on the primary and standby
databases to find out. If necessary, perform a logfile switch before the first c
ommand

SQL>select switchover_status from v$database;
SQL>alter database commit to switchover to primary with session shutdown;

LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2 to enable
SQL> Alter system set LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2= ENABLE ;
To complete the transition, the database must be shut down and re-started:
SQL>shutdown immediate
SQL>startup pfile=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init<SID>.ora | spfile

Complete the database configurations

1. Connect to the new primary database using SQL*Plus as user APPS, and exe
cute the following commands:
SQL>exec fnd_net_services.remove_system ('PROD');
SQL>commit;
SQL>exec fnd_conc_clone.setup_clean ;
2. As the oraprod user on the new primary database server, use AutoConfig t
o complete configuration for primary operations, providing the APPS password whe
n prompted:
$ cd <RDBMS ORACLE_HOME>/appsutil/scripts/<context>
$ ./adautocfg.sh
3. When this completes, stop and start the listener on the new primary data
base server:
$ lsnrctl stop
$ lsnrctl start <SID>
4. On the new standby server, stop and start the listener for standby servi
ces:
$ lsnrctl
$ lsnrctl start <Standby Service>

Application Tier Configuration After a Role Transition (switchover/failover/swi

tchback)
ON STANDBY DR-
Finish Oracle E-Business Suite configuration on application tiers
After the primary database configuration is complete and its listeners have star
ted, log in to each now-primary application tier server as the APPLPROD user, an
d run the final configuration steps:
$ cd $INST_TOP/admin/scripts>
$ ./adautocfg.sh
Provide the APPS password when prompted.
Update host name in fnd_concurrent_requests and fnd_conc_req_outputs tables
If you synchronize your concurrent manager log and out directories, you must cha
nge the host name in the fnd_concurrent_requests table to the name of the new pr
imary server (that was the standby before the role transition):
SQL>update apps.fnd_concurrent_requests
set logfile_node_name = <new application tier node>,
outfile_node_name = <new application tier node>
where logfile_node_name = <old application tier node>
and outfile_node_name = <old application tier node>;
SQL> update apps.fnd_concurrent_requests set logfile_node_name='APPSDR72 ',outfi
le_node_name = 'APPSDR72' WHERE logfile_node_name = 'APPSDEMO' and outfile_node_
name = 'APPSDEMO';
SQL>update apps.fnd_conc_req_outputs set file_node_name=<new applications tier n
ode>
where file_node_name=<old applications tier node>;

If you do not synchronize your concurrent manager log and out directories, blank
out the host name in the fnd_concurrent_requests table to avoid network timeout
errors:
SQL>update apps.fnd_concurrent_requests
set logfile_node_name = null,
outfile_node_name = null;
SQL>update apps.fnd_conc_req_outputs set file_node_name=' ';
SQL> update apps.fnd_conc_req_outputs set file_node_name='APPSDR72' where file_
node_name = 'APPSDEMO';
SQL> update apps.fnd_concurrent_queues set node_name = 'APPSDR72' where node_nam
e = 'APPSDEMO';

#SWITCHOVER STEPS:-
ON?PRIMARY PROD
1.1.1 Preparing for switchover to standby server
1. Verify the primary database instance is open and standby database instance is
mounted.
2. Verify there are no active users connected to the database. Shut down all the
sessions in
the primary database.
3. Ensure that the last redo data transmitted from the primary database was appl
ied on the
standby database. Issue the following SQL command on the primary and standby
databases to find out. If necessary, perform a logfile switch before the first c
ommand

If you run the latter update, you must execute it before starting the concurrent
managers on the
system. If you do not execute it before starting the managers, you must add a wh
ere clause to
limit the rows updated to those pointing to the old host names. This does not ne
ed to complete
before you run the next step. However, if you let users on to the system before
it is committed,
they will get errors if they try to access a report's log or out file that was g
enerated on the old
primary system.
6.2.3 Perform the cloning finishing tasks

6.2.4 Direct users to the new system
The standby system should be available to your users as your new primary system.
Direct your
users to the new URL.
6.2.5 Establish a new standby system
Perform this step if you have performed a failover. Failing over to the standby
database (versus
switching over) separates it from the old primary. You must create a new standby
environment
from this new system to again provide disaster recovery protection.
6.2.6 Re-point your CM log and out and native PL/SQL object directory rsync scri
pts
(optional)
If you are keeping your concurrent manager log and out directories synchronized
across the
environments, set up your rsync scripts to move the files from the new primary s
erver to the new
standby server.
