Oracle Database 19c: Data Guard Administration Questions and Answers
Suppose that you manage the following databases in your environment:
• boston: Primary database with a single PDB called DEVI
• london: Physical standby database protecting the PDB called DEVI
• orcl: Stand-alone database with a single PDB called PDB1 as a remote clone source
You are planning to run the following command to create a remote clone in the primary database (boston) using pdbi in orcl:
Which are the THREE prerequisites for automating instantiation of the PDB in the standby database (london)?
Active Data Guard (ADG) databases are widely used to offload reporting or ad hoc query-only jobs from the primary database. Reporting workload profile is different from the primary database and often requires tuning.

There are currently 6 applief. and 6 pfepafef processes running and no idle applier processes on y 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.
Which TWO statements are true about configuring Oracle Net Service in a Data Guard environment?
Your Data Guard environment has two remote physical standby databases.

Which will automatically redirect clients to the new primary database in case of a switchover or failover?
Examine the Data Guard configuration: DGMGRL> show configuration;
Configuration - Animals
Protection Mode: MaxPerformance
Databases:
dogs- Primary database
sheep - Physical standby database
cats- Snapshot standby database
Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED
Configuration Status: SUCCESS
You receive an error while attempting to raise the protection mode to Maximum Protection:
DGMGRL> edit configuration set protection mode as maxprotection;
Error: ORA-16627: operation disallowed since no standby databases would remain to support protection
mode
Failed.
What can you conclude based on this error?
Which two are prerequisites for configuring flashback database for Oracle 19c databases, in a Data Guard environment?
Which two statements are true regarding Data Guard environments in an Oracle Muti-tenant architecture?
Which two are true concerning the configuring of Flashback database in a Data Guard environment?
You notice that the SQL apply lag on your logical standby database has increased but the redo transport lag has not.
Which four could be reasons for the increase in SQL apply lag?
You have a Data Guard broker configuration consisting of:
A primary database
One local physical standby database
One far sync instance
A remote physical standby database
The broker configuration was created with the DGMGRL utility after creating all the databases and the far sync instance with command-line tools.
What is the correct way to add this configuration to Enterprise Manager Cloud Control assuming all the nodes have been discovered already as Enterprise Manager targets?
Which TWO statements are true about database parameters for databases in a Data Guard environment?
Which THREE statements are true about Far Sync instances?
Which three statements are true about Data Guard database modes and states?
Your Data Guard environment has a remote physical standby database with real-time query enabled, which is used for reporting, and a logical standby database used for DSS reporting.
Switchovers or failovers are possible due to testing or in case of a disaster.
Clients use local TNSNAMES.ORA files to define connection strings to the database instances.
Which three will prevent clients from connecting to the wrong database instances?
Attempting to start the observer raises an error:
DGMGRL> start observer;
DGM-16954: Unable to open and lock the Observer configuration file
Failed.
Identify two possible ways to start the observer successfully.
Which three types of backups offload …….. with the primary database in a data Guard
Which two are true about managing and monitoring Oracle container databases in a Data Guard environment using the broker?
Which two are true about the use of RMAN recovery catalogs when offloading backups to a physical standby database?
Which TWO are TRUE about offloading backups to a physical standby database in a Data Guard environment?
Which TWO statements are true about Real-Time Query?
Your Data Guard environment has two remote physical standby databases.
Client applications use the local naming method to connect to the primary database instance.
You want applications to automatically connect to the new primary database instance in case of a switchover or a failover.
Which set of actions will fulfill this requirement?
You must propose an Oracle Data Guard configuration for a database supporting an OLTP workload that meets these permanent requirements:
Data loss is not permitted.
Read-only applications should not connect to the primary database instance.
Additionally, there are these requirements, only one of which is ever done at any one time:
It should be possible to apply and test designated patches with a minimum amount of downtime.
Upgrading to a new database release should be performed with the least possible amount of downtime.
New application software releases should be tested against an exact up-to-date replica of the production database.
You propose a primary database with one physical standby database configured in Maximum Protection mode.
Which requirements do you meet?
You created a physical standby database prodsbyi from the primary database prod using SQL and RMAN. Which THREE are prerequisites for creating a Data Guard Broker configuration to manage these databases?
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.
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:
A)
B)
C)
D)
Your Data Guard environment has one physical standby database using Real-Time Query. Two sequences have been created by these SQL statements:
Neither sequence has been used since being created.
Session 1 connects to the primary database instance and issues these two SQL statements:
SELECT a.nextval FROM DUAL; SELECT b.nextval FROM DUAL;
Then session 2 connects to the physical standby database instance and issues the same SQL statements. Which output will be seen for session 2?
Then session 2 connects to the physical standby database instance and issues the same SQL statements. Which output will be seen for session 2?
A)
B)
C)
D)
Which THREE statements are true about snapshot standby databases?
Which four requirements can be met by deploying a logical standby database?

You must design an Oracle Data Guard configuration for a DSS database that meets these permanent
requirements:
1. Creating and maintaining bitmap indexes should not impact the performance of the primary database.
2. Creating and maintaining materialized views should not impact the performance of the primary database.
Additionally, there are these requirements, only one of which is ever done at any one time:
1. It should be possible to apply designated patches with a minimum amount of downtime.
2. Upgrading to a new database release should be performed with the least possible amount of downtime.
3. New application software releases should be tested against an exact and up-to-date replica of the primary database.
Which configuration meets these requirements with the fewest of databases?
