Title: RE: Oracle 9i installation - Basic Qs - HELP!

Well, one of us is probably wrong.... not sure which.  But, I thought that , as long as the file structures are the same that there should not be any difference in an archive log for one OS over another.

 

Since you are coming from Solaris, a unix environment, and going to a DEC Alpha, another unix environment, I figured that they would be compatible.

 

Tell you what, do yourself a favor and create a small database on one system, clone it over to the other system and try it out yourself.   You could have your question answered unequivicably in a days time.

Kevin,

 

I thought the pre-requisite to create a standby database is it should have the same OS level and Oracle version as primary.  Am I wrong ?

And what is the problem with having a standby DB on a different OS than the primary ???

Hi,

 

How can I archive redo logs automatically to a different machine ?.  Standby database is not an option because the target machine's OS is different from the primary. 

 

Primary db is 8.1.7.2 resides on SUN E10k with SunOS 5.8.

Target server is DEC Alpha 4.0

 

If UNIX script is the only option, I appreciate if you can share it here.

 

Thanks,

 

Bala.
