Introduction to Oracle Data Guard - Chapter 2

In this post I am going to cover the concepts of Oracle Data Guard.


Oracle Dataguard is part of Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture(MAA) which includes various Oracle technologies like RAC,ASM,Flashback, Active DataGuard and Goldengate.























Dataguard is part of MAA and used for Data protection which provides a disaster recovery solution for Oracle Databases. It also be considered as a High Availability Solution*.
For Dataguard we can  keep the DR on different servers,data centers or geographical location to provide best data protection.



























In the DR environment the source database from where data is synced to target database is called as PRIMARY Database and the target database is know as Standby Database. The above picture represents simple architecture for a basic DR configuration.

DR sends the redo log files to standby database so it is also know as log  shipping based replication.
DR is a unidirectional replication which means that any changes to data made in Primary would only move to standby. No changes can be done at standby side

With WDT, you can export configuration and application files from one WebLogic Server domain and import them into another, making it a highly effective tool for tasks like migrating on-premises WebLogic configurations to Oracle Cloud. This blog outlines a detailed step-by-step process for using WDT to migrate WebLogic resources and configurations. Supported WLS versions Why Use WDT for Migration? When moving Oracle WebLogic resources from an on-premises environment to Oracle Cloud (or another WebLogic Server), WDT provides an efficient and reliable approach to: Discover and export domain configurations and application binaries. Create reusable models and archives for deployment in a target domain. Key Pre-Requisites Source System: An Oracle WebLogic Server with pre-configured resources such as: Applica...
