RE: Data Guard Question

Perhaps look at db_file_name_convert and/or log_file_name_convert?

I have used those to handle filename/creation 'issues'.

We've set up data guard with a primary and a secondary. The primary is DGRDTSTD. The secondary is DGRDTSTC. We are running Oracle 19c on Linux Red Hat 7.

If I create a new data file on the primary, it creates it on the secondary, but in the wrong directory. It creates a new directory, called DGRDTSTD and puts the new file there, instead of putting it in the DGRDTSTC directory. I can move it and rename it, but I shouldn't have to.

I tried to set the db_create_file_dest parameter on both databases:

on the standby:
alter system set db_create_file_dest='/oracle/data/DGRDTSTC'; on the primary:
alter system set db_create_file_dest='/oracle/data/DGRDTSTD';

All that did was to create the new file as: /oracle/data/DGRDTSTC/DGRDTSTC/datafile/o1_mf_test_dat_jj2xgght_.dbf

The original file name was test_data_enc03.dbf. I don't know why it changed it.

What do I have to do to get the secondary to create the new data file in the correct directory (/oracle/data/DGRDTSTC) and do it right?

Thank you,
