When the DGPDB was released for 21c (at version 21.7) I wrote a blog post about how to use the feature (you can read it here<\/a>). This was in August of 2022 and since that time, we got small changes and corrections, but with the update 21.12 (patch 35740258<\/a>) we got new commands like \u201cEDIT CONFIGURATION PREPARE DGPDB<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n

Not just that, but Ludovico Caldara (Data Guard PM) recently wrote one blog<\/a> post about new commands for Data Guard preparation that can be used with Broker. Is an evolution of the commands I covered in one previous blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, in this post, I will cover the new commands for DG PDB and the changes\/improvements that appeared in the last version. It is a long post, but everything is covered here. No gaps or information are missing, all the steps, logs, and outputs are described and documented.<\/p>\n

Previous post<\/h2>\n

I will try to cover most of the details and steps that you need to do to properly configure the DG PDB, but I recommend<\/strong> that you read my previous post<\/a> as well. So, you can understand and compare how it was, and what changed with the new update.<\/p>\n

Another point is that the steps described here are not documented in the official documentation for 21c. The Broker doc (today at the end of 2023) is dated from April of 2022<\/a>. But the documentation from 23c<\/a> is online and updated, so, it can be used as a partial guide for the process.<\/p>\n
