STOP OBSERVING

The STOP OBSERVING command stops all local observers running on this host (where this DGMGRL session is running) for all broker configurations in a specific group.

Format

STOP OBSERVING [<configuration_group_name>] [TRACE_LEVEL= USER | SUPPORT];

Command Parameters

configuration_group_name
The name of a broker configuration group, on which you want to stop local observers running on this host (where DGMGRL is running).

Usage Notes

  • If no configuration_group_name is specified, then this command stops all LOCAL observers running on this host (where this DGMGRL session is running) for all broker configurations defined in the observer configuration file.

  • The configuration_group_name cannot be the keyword ALL.

  • Information about the DGMGRL commands run and execution details are written to the log file, superobserver.log. This file is located in the $DG_ADMIN/admin/ directory. If the DG_ADMIN environment variable is not defined, this file is located in the current working directory.

  • The optional clause TRACE_LEVEL IS lets you control the amount of tracing done and written to the observer log file. The default value is USER, which limits the observer log contents to tracing information about fast-start failover, status changes of the primary and target standby database, and error/warning messages. Setting TRACE_LEVEL to SUPPORT increases the amount of tracing information to include lower-level information needed by Oracle Support Services.
