ADD FAR_SYNC

The ADD FAR_SYNC command adds an existing far sync instance to an Oracle Data Guard broker configuration.

The far sync instance is disabled after creation. You must explicitly enable it before the broker can ship redo to and from it.

Format

ADD FAR SYNC <db_unique_name> AS CONNECT IDENTIFIER IS <connect_identifier>;

Command Parameters

db-unique-name

The name that will be used by the broker to refer to this far sync instance. It must match (case-insensitive) the value of the corresponding far sync instance DB_UNIQUE_NAME initialization parameter.

connect-identifier

A fully specified connect descriptor or a name to be resolved by an Oracle Net Services naming method (for example, TNS). The value you specify is also used as the initial value of the DGConnectIdentifier property.

Usage Notes

• The far sync instance must already exist before you can add it to a broker configuration.

Command Example

The following example adds a far sync instance named chicago to the configuration.

DGMGRL> ADD FAR_SYNC chicago AS CONNECT IDENTIFIER IS chicago.example.com;
