my opinion is to use dgmgrl command line but i've only used it in 11gr1 world not with 10.

What I have found was some weird stuff with 10.2.0.4 OEM against 11.1.0.7 data guard setup, something corrupted the dg config files and i had to rebuild the setup, so i quit doing switchover/failover via OEM.

my 2 cents worth.

Data Guard Management Interfaces

Hi List,  

I’m just getting started with Data Guard and curious which management interface those with extensive experience would recommend? I am very comfortable with the command line and use SQL*Plus for 99% of my DBA tasks. I’m not currently running Grid Control – I just start up DB Control briefly when needed and then shut it back down. Am I better off just using the SQL*Plus commands for DG, or should I use the command-line version of DG Broker (DGMGRL), or is it worth setting up Grid Control just for the convenience of the GUI for managing Data Guard? Based on my previous experience testing Grid Control (more trouble than it’s worth in my opinion), and comfort level with the command-line, I’m leaning towards one of the CLI options – either SQL*Plus or DGMGRL. Eventually I’ll probably take the time to learn them both and decide for myself which one I like better, but I’m just curious which one you Data Guard experts would recommend to start with and any major pros or cons of any of them.  

I’m running Oracle 10.2.0.4 on AIX6.1 and just setting up a simple configuration with one physical standby.  

Thanks,
Brandon
