Logical Standby with Apply Process Fails With ORA-308

Recently, we encounter the Logical Standby Apply Process Fails With ORA-308 while testing the logical standby. Due to the archive log in Logical is automatically delete after a while.

To solve it, we first stop the automatically delete archivelog
exec dbms_logstdby.apply_set('LOG_AUTO_DELETE', 'FALSE');


Then, We check the ASM diskspace for the archivelog that is needed by standby.
Then we copy the archive log to the local folder for transfering it to standby by issuing below . The FLASH_DIR and EXPORT_DUMP_DIR is oracle directory, FLASH_DIR is the ASM disk space like +FLASHGRP/TESTDB/archivelog/

dbms_file_Transfer.copy_file('FLASH_DIR','1_3470_694714878.dbf','EXPORT_DUMP_DIR','1_3470_694714878.dbf');


After copying the file to standby, then we need to register the archivelog using below method.

Register the log file in standby

SQL> alter database register logfile '/TESTDB/archive/1_3470_694714878.dbf';

alter database register logfile '/TESTDB/archive/1_3470_694714878.dbf'

*

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-01289: cannot add duplicate logfile

If failed , then we have to update the logmnr table manually,

Stopped the logical standby.

SQL> alter database stop logical standby apply;

SQL> select file_name from system.logmnr_log$ where sequence#=3470;

FILE_NAME

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

+FLASHGRP/testdb/archivelog/2010_09_22/thread_1_seq_3470.3572.730402825

SQL> UPDATE SYSTEM.LOGMNR_LOG$ SET

FILE_NAME= 2 '/TESTDB/archive/1_3470_694714878.dbf' where sequence#=3470;

1 row updated.
