    When using the log_file_name_convert parameter in creating a standby database, how can I configure my init.ora parameter file of the standby database on a different host to reference multiple redolog files on different mount points??

    Thanks

    When you create stanby DB you must place all files, including LOG in come directory structure ac primary DB.

    if uoy place db files and log files in another dir structure you must set 2 parameters for convers full file names with path for DB and LOG on standby DB box:

    db_file_name_convert
    log_file_name_convert

    for more information read classic books (Oracle Documentation library)

    SAM and others thanks!!!

    My problem is this:

    My primary database has two online logfile groups


    /u01/oradata/prod/redo01a.log
    /u01/oradata/prod/redo02a.log
    /u02/oradata/prod/redo01b.log
    /u02/oradata/prod/redo02b.log


    In the standby init.ora file, Oracle only allows the use of LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT just once and as follows:

    log_file_name_convert='/u01/oradata/prod', '/u01/oradata/standby'

    Which converts the logs in /u01/oradata/prod in the primary to /u01/oradata/standby of the standby host

    Now, my question is, how do I convert the logs in /u02/oradata/prod files???? When I put two LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT in the standby init.ora file, I get an error.

    Please moderators help!

    Did you try

    log_file_name_convert= (('/u01/oradata/prod', '/u01/oradata/standby'),('/u02/oradata/prod', '/u02/oradata/standby'))

    Sam Thanks again, I have just tried your recommendation and now the instance start command gives the following error:

    SQL> startup nomount pfile=initstandbydb.ora
    ORA-01678: parameter log_file_name_convert must be two strings, a pattern and a replacement

    Doesn't like syntax...I still don't know how to convert for multiplexed logs...any more suggestions???

    You may use convert string like this one:

    log_file_name_convert='/u0*/oradata/prod/redo*.log', '/u0*/oradata/standby/redo*.log'

    and use some convert rules for DB files

    db_file_name_convert='/u0*/oradata/prod/data_file*.ora', '/u0*/oradata/standby/datafile*.ora'
