Hi All!

Last week i just completed a Dataguard setup with two RAC DB environments, with the second RAC serving as logical standby with realtime apply enable. A happy ending, right? Please read on...

This afternoon the client just told us that they wanted a setup with multiple logical standby DBs, with the additional logical standby serving as a bystander db.

Is it possible to add one to an existing setup, or do i have to start from scratch?

Is it just a matter of

-- copying the db files from the primary,
-- adding an additonal log_archive_dest_n setting on the primary,
-- setting up a db instance,
-- edit its init.ora parameters
-- converting it to physical standby
-- then to logical standby?
