Activate Cascading Database
Database version = 11.2.0.3
AIX 6.1
I know the title is a little confusing because I am not on 12c database but the scenario involves cascading database and a terminal database.
PD1 (current PROD) >>>>>> ST1 (Current Standby)
>>>>>> PD2 (Future NEW PROD but a standby of PD1) >>>>>>>>>> ST2 (NEW Standby of PD2))
We have to move out current Production, PD1 and standby,ST1 to the new hardware.
We have current Production, PD1, and a standby database ST1 in dataguard configuration.
I want to create a standby database on our NEW hardware, PD2, from our current PD1. So PD2 ( new PROD ) will get archivelogs from PD1 (current Prod) and will be in sync completely. On the go-live weekend I will just activate PD2 and disconnect PD1.
