instance package.
MONITOR_INTERVAL: The time interval, in seconds, the script
waits between checks to ensure that the Oracle
instance is running. Default is 30 seconds.
This
parameter must be set in the ASM and database
instance packages.
TIME_OUT: The amount of time, in seconds, the script
waits during
package halt for the Oracle database shutdown
to
complete before killing the Oracle processes
defined in MONITOR_PROCESSES.
The TIME_OUT variable is used to protect
against
a worst-case scenario where a hung instance
prevents the package halt script from
completing,
therefore preventing the standby node from
starting the instance. This parameter must
be set for the ASM and database instance
packages.
PARENT_ENVIRONMENT: This is used to mention if the Oracle or ASM
administrator's shell should be invoked as a
new shell or as a sub-shell that inherits the
variables set in the parent shell. This can be
set to either yes or no only. Set to yes if
the Oracle or ASM administrator's shell should
be
invoked as a sub-shell. Set to no if the Oracle
or ASM
administrator's shell should be invoked as a
new
shell. If set to no, the Oracle or ASM
administrator's
.profile file is executed and the variables
set
in this .profile file are available to the new
shell. This parameter can be set in the ASM and
database instance package.
CLEANUP_BEFORE_STARTUP: This parameter indicates whether
'shutdown abort' must be executed before the
startup of the Oracle or ASM instance.
'shutdown
abort' ensures the cleanup of uncleared shared
memory or semaphores. This parameter can be set
to only yes or no. Default value is no. This
parameter can be set in the ASM and database
instance package.
