Process guard

Remote File Server (RFS) Process: The RFS process runs on the standby database and is responsible for communication between the primary and the standby database. For the log transport service, the RFS on the standby database receives the redo records from the archiver or the log writer process of the primary database over Oracle Net and writes to the filesystem on the standby site.Fetch Archive Log (FAL): The FAL process has two components: FAL Client and FAL Server. Both processes are used for archive gap resolution. If the Managed Recovery Process (MRP) on the standby database site detects an archive gap sequence, it initiates a fetch request to the FAL client on the standby site. This action, in turn, requests the FAL server process on the primary database to re-transmit the archived log files to resolve the gap sequence. Archive gap sequences will be discussed later in this chapter.Once the log transport service completes the transmission of redo records to the standby site, the log apply service starts applying the changes to the standby database. The log apply service operates solely on the standby database. The following processes on the standby site facilitate the log apply operations.Managed Recovery Process (MRP): The MRP applies the redo entries from the archived redo logs onto the physical standby database.Logical Standby Process (LSP): The LSP applies the redo records from archived redo logs to the logical standby database. The Oracle database log miner engine is used by the logical standby process for the SQL apply operations. Using the log miner engine, the LSP process recreates the SQL statements from redo logs that have been executed on the primary database. These statements are then applied to the standby database to keep it current with the primary database.Data Guard background processes:In a Data Guard configuration, we can see some Oracle Data Guard specific background processes in both, primary and standby databases. These processes perform the operations of redo transport and apply services. Data Guard broker also has some specific background processes. We can see the description and duties of the most important Data Guard processes as follows:MRP0 (Managed Standby Recovery Process): coordinates the read and apply process of redo in a physical standby database.RFS (Remote File Server):Is responsible for receiving the redo data, which is sent by the primary database to the standby database.LSP0 (Logical Standby Coordinator Process):Coordinates the SQL Apply processes, which are the mining processes and apply processes.LSP1 (Logical Standby Dictionary Build Process):Is used on the logical standby databases when a switchover or failover is in action.LSP2 (Logical Standby Set Guard Process):Is used to operate Database Guard settings. Database Guard specifies which objects will be protected for modification in a logical standby database.NSAn (Redo

Backup in the image copy format. The new feature allows duplication or backup of a sparse database for other purposes. RMAN: Restoring From Sparse Backups The RMAN RESTORE command determines the most appropriate (regular or sparse) backup set, and restores the data files from the backup set. Recovery behavior changes depending on whether or not RMAN chooses a sparse backup set in the previous RESTORE command. This feature allows a sparse database to be restored without affecting the base data files. RMAN: Recovering the Sparse Database An RMAN recovery operation is performed to bring the sparse database to the current time or to a certain point-in-time in the past. This usually follows a restore operation. This feature allows complete or incomplete (point-in-time) recovery of a sparse database without affecting the base data files. RMAN: Purging Sparse Backups A purge operation is required to delete obsolete backups of sparse databases. This is a housekeeping activity to clean up unwanted or obsolete backups of sparse databases which are no longer required. Retention policies can also influence the categorization status of backups to mark as obsolete. Manageability Automatic Performance Management General Automatic Performance Management Oracle Data Guard Support for Oracle Diagnostics Pack Active Data Guard Support for SQL Tuning Advisor SQL Performance Analyzer and SQL Tuning Sets Enhancements Oracle Data Guard Support for Oracle Diagnostics Pack The Oracle Diagnostics Pack can be used with an Active Data Guard standby database that is open for read-only access. This enables you to capture the performance data to the Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) for an Active Data Guard standby database and to run Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor (ADDM) analysis on the AWR data. This feature enables performance tuning for read-only workloads executing on an Active Data Guard standby database. Active Data Guard Support for SQL Tuning Advisor SQL Tuning Advisor has been enhanced so that tuning can be initiated on one database but the actual tuning process is executed remotely on a different database. This allows DBAs to offload tuning of the primary database workload to an Active Data Guard standby and tuning of Active Data Guard SQL workloads on Active Data Guard itself. When offloading SQL tuning of primary database workloads to an Active Data Guard standby, the SQL tuning process is initiated from the primary database, but the expensive tuning process is executed remotely on the Active Data Guard standby and results are written back to the primary database using database links. When tuning Active Data Guard workloads, the entire SQL tuning process is executed locally at the Active Data Guard standby while maintaining the read-only nature of the database. This is accomplished by gathering the required information over database links from the primary

(installed along with other files of Folder Guard) for the detailed description of the terms of using this software on more than one computer. For information on our site license and quantity discounts, please visit our Online Store . If you plan on protecting a large number of computers with Folder Guard, you may want to order the Folder Guard Administrator's Kit that contains the tools to help you automate the installation and licensing of Folder Guard on a large network. How do I transfer Folder Guard to another computer? First, uninstall Folder Guard from the old computer, using Windows Control Panel. (If the old computer is no longer operational, then Folder Guard is automatically treated as uninstalled from that computer.) Then, install Folder Guard on the new computer, by running its installation file and entering your license key, when prompted. What happens when the evaluation period expires? This software comes with a built-in license that allows you to use it for free for the first 30 days after the installation. When this initial evaluation period expires, Folder Guard continues to operate as usual, except that it starts to display a reminder message informing you that the evaluation period has expired. Note that if another user is using your computer while the reminder message is displayed, the user can click on the message and that would disable the protection performed by Folder Guard. To prevent other users from being able to access your protected files and folders, you must purchase a license for the continued use before the expiration of your evaluation period. Will I lose my files if Folder Guard crashes? No: Folder Guard does not encrypt or modify your files in any way, it protects them dynamically. Can someone disable Folder Guard by ending its process? No: if someone uses Task Manager to end the process of Folder Guard, it only stops the user-mode operations, such as the hot key, or the notification icon, and it may stop Folder Guard from displaying the Unlock buttons for the protected folders. However, the protection itself remains in effect, because it is preformed in the kernel, which is not affected by the user-mode processes. Will Folder Guard encrypt my files? No, Folder Guard does NOT encrypt or otherwise modify your files in ANY WAY. Folder Guard protects your files dynamically, that is, it intercepts requests from other programs to open files or list the contents of folders, and then rejects such requests for the files in the folders you have chosen to protect. The files and folders themselves remain undisturbed during this process, in their original condition. As a result of such design, there is no danger of losing your documents if you lose your encryption key. On the other hand, the protected folders are protected only on your computer, where Folder Guard is installed and configured. If you require your private files to be protected even when taken to another computer, or when Windows or Folder Guard is not running,
