Cloning a standby read-write access database with Oracle Data Guard

Physical standby databases are read-only databases. Under normal circumstances,

they offer limited utility value since you can not update their contents. Using the

Data Guard support feature, DBI commands can clone a read-only standby database

into a writable database.

Using Database FlashSnap with Active Data Guard

In environments where the Oracle Active Data Guard feature (available in Oracle

11g) is used, redo log application must be stopped explicitly on standby database

before taking a database snapshot.

To use Database FlashSnap in an Active Data Guard environment

Stop redo log apply.

For example:

SQL>ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;

Run dbed_update.

Create a snapplan and validate it.

Take a snapshot.
