Oracle Dataguard and SAP licensing policy

Former Member · ‎09-07-2013

Hi Gurus

We are planning to setup Disaster Recovery site using oracle 11g dataguard.

Would it be possible you to answer following queries?

1) Is oracle dataguard is part of Oracle DVD set provided or downloaded from SAP?

2) Do we need to procure license for oracle datagueard additionally from SAP?

3) would it be possible to provide me any note number?

Thanks and Regards

Upendra

Hello,

1) No specific media is required, both master & standby data guard node can be installed with regular SAP installation media.

2) No extra license is required to setup a physical standby scenario

You can use "Physical Standby".
You cannot use "Logical Standby".
You are allowed to use Fast Start Failover (FSFO) but SAP Support is not provided.
You can use Data Guard Broker.
You can use Maximum Performance Mode, Maximum Availability Mode and Maximum Protection Mode.
In the case of Maximum Availability and Maximum Protection, you must pay particular attention to a fast network connection in order to avoid performance problems.
Maximum Protection causes the primary database to terminate if problems occur in the standby database.
If you are interested in Active Data Guard, e-mail christian.graf@sap.com.

3) There are no specific SAP notes on how setting up Data Guard.

Here are some of the best documentation I found helpful for setting up data guard in SAP environement.
