Hello:

Does the Standard edition of oracle 8.1.6 on Linux supports archiving to a remote location?

I wan to manage a standby database in "Manual" mode (I know its not possible with Standard Edition to have the Standby in "Managed Recovery Mode"), but want to send one copy of log to the standby destination whenever the Primary database's logs get archived.

I changed the init.ora to have the following changes.

log_archive_dest_1 = 'LOCATION=/oracle/d08/dbacct/arch MANDATORY'
log_archive_dest_state_1 = ENABLE
log_archive_format = log_%t_%s.arc

log_archive_dest_2 = 'SERVICE=standby1 OPTIONAL REOPEN=180'
log_archive_dest_state_2 = ENABLE

compatible = "8.1.5"

I am getting the error, when I tried to start the DB with the parameter
log_archive_dest_1 = 'LOCATION=/oracle/d08/dbacct/arch MANDATORY'

"ORA-00439: feature not enabled: Managed Standby"

note: LOCATION seems to be the culprit.


Please let me know if it is possible?
