Bug 31114977

When you relocate Oracle Database configured with Standard Edition High Availability that has active database services, the srvctl status service command on that database displays a blank list of instance that has the services running. However, the services are running on the database instance.

Bug 31128434

When you use the srvctl relocate database command to initiate the relocation of a database configured with Standard Edition High Availability, and if Oracle Database has a service registered, then the shutdown of the database instance is suspended for a period of time due to the mount lock being held.

The registered database services are not accessible when the database instance is suspended and the Oracle Database instance stops eventually on the current node and starts on the destination node.

Workaround:

  Use a sequence of srvctl stop database commands followed by the srvctl start database -node destination node commands to avoid shutdown suspension.

Bug 31128452

When you run the srvctl config service command for an Oracle Database with Standard Edition High Availability configured and its services registered,  a Java NULL pointer exception occurs at the end of the output for the first service.

Bug 31146826

When you configure Standard Edition High Availability for a single-instance Oracle Database 19c Release Update (RU) 19.7 that does not have any database services registered, you will observe a local restart when the instance is abnormally terminated. However, after a service is added to the database, you do not observe the local restart. Instead, the database fails over immediately when it is abnormally terminated.

Bug 31156506

If Oracle base of the Oracle Database home is the same as Oracle base of the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home, then if the user adds a new node to the cluster, the Oracle Database home user loses access permissions to some of the subdirectories under Oraclebase of the Oracle Database home.

Workaround:

Use distinct directories as Oracle base for the Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Oracle Database installations.

Bug 31188168

When you use the srvctl relocate database -help command from a Standard Edition single-instance Oracle Database 19c home, the prompt incorrectly displays usage and help messages with the mention of Oracle Real Application Clusters One Node (Oracle RAC One Node). Starting with Oracle Database 19c Release Update (RU) 19.7, this command applies to Standard Edition High Availability and must contain the corresponding usage and help messages.
