Copy Files to SB: OMF (Manually)

Get File Paths

You will use these paths when you create the directories for the SB and edit the pfile. Generally changing them to match the DB_UNIQUE_NAME on the SB.

From the Primary as oracle user:

Things to Note

• Files are copied to directories on the SB matching the DB_UNIQUE_NAME (ORADB_SB).
• The password file is renamed to reflect the SB's DB_UNIQUE_NAME in the copy.
• The standby control files destination name needs to match the Primary (xxx.ctl).
• Both onlinelog locations are copied over.
