Graceful Failover and Failback Procedures in Non-Data Guard Environments

Added by Papergrl

Description: This paper describes the procedures to perform "graceful" failovers and failbacks of hot standby databases in Oracle environments that are not using Data Guard. A "graceful" failover is one that does not require databases to be opened with the RESETLOGS option and as a result, graceful failbacks do not require the primary database to be rebuilt. (That is, they do not require the standby database's datafiles to be copied to the primary server.) Graceful failovers and failbacks are also known as "switchovers" and "switchbacks".
