Oracle Database Discussions

Hi all,

I post this question in general because it can open discussion on many subject.

Right now, we are replicating the whole DB file system (using hot backup mode) over our DR site using SAN replication. We want to move to Data Guard and my understanding of DG is that it replicate and apply redo log on destination (it's a transaction level replication) instead of archive redo.

In that case, how do you replicate physical change (configuration file, crontab, script, etc) or change that are not logged, like stuff in temp table space, etc... Is DG as a feature to handle that or this is left to the DBA/sysadmin to find a way to keep prod and DR in sync?!

Thanks
