We have just released Dbvisit 5.2.20 for all platforms.

This version allows for passwords to be stored in encrypted form in the Dbvisit Database Configuration (DDC) file.

The full details of this release are:

New features:

  1. Add ENCRYPT_PASSWDS variable to specify if all passwords should be stored encrypted in the DDC file or not. To change the setting run dbvisit_setup and choose option 6.
  2. Add SWITCHOVER_WAIT_IN_SEC to control how long Dbvisit waits between each checkpoint iteration for graceful switchover. Total time Dbvisit waits for each checkpoint is set by SWITCHOVER_TIMEOUT_IN_SEC.

Fixes:

  1. When standby redo logs are using OMF, graceful switchover may fail. This has been fixed.
  2. When log_archive_format on Windows contains %S, the sequence number can be truncated by Oracle. Ensure that Dbvisit also truncates the number the same way.
  3. Running dbvisit_setup: Update Dbvisit Database configuration (DDC) file may error for older DDC files.
  4. Improve error message for ORA-27048.
  5. Improve error message for creation of standby when datafile contains spaces.
  6. Improve message for error 5005 when standby controlfile does not contain the archive log sequence.
