Use

You are creating a standby instance (Standby Database).

Procedure

Use the Database Manager for the following steps:

...

       1.      Create the standby instance by creating a copy of your original instance. Proceed as described in Creating an Homogenous System Copy, but do not transfer the copy to the ONLINE operational state, but leave it in the ADMIN operational state instead.

Note the following points when you create the standby instance:

¡        We recommend that you set up the original instance and the standby instance on different computers.

¡        The standby instance must not access the same files as the original instance. In other words, it has to have a separate run directory.

       2.      In the standby instance, create a backup medium for importing the log backups. See

¡        Database Manager GUI, Creating a Single Backup Medium

¡        Database Manager GUI, Creating or Changing a Backup Medium

Result

The standby instance is in the ONLINE operational state. You can now update the standby instance at regular intervals.
