Dbvisit has been renamed to Dbvisit Standby

The elegant and feature-rich web-based GUI for Dbvisit Standby has now been released for all platforms.

New features for GUI:

1. Web-based interface using build in web-server named Dbvserver. Dbvisit Standby can be now be run through: – traditional command line interface (CLI) or – graphical user interface (GUI) through browser. Dbvserver needs to be started to enable the Dbvisit Standby interface through the browser.
   On Linux/Unix type dbvserverd to start Dbvserver.
   On Windows start the Dbvserver Windows service to start Dbvserver.

2. Dbvserver includes a full scheduler to be able to schedule Dbvisit Standby. An external scheduler such as cron are no longer required.
   Dbvisit is now installed into a new subdirectory called “standby” under the main “dbvisit” directory.

3. Full web-based access to the Dbvisit logs on the primary and standby server. Full access to the Oracle alert log throug the web browser.
4. Graphical reports showing key information about the standby database process such as lag, compression ratio, size of transfer, time taken for transfers, total redo per day, and total transfers per day.

6.0.04 (9 June 2011)
New features:

1. Variable SEND_HEARTBEAT2_TIME24 made redundant. Multiple times to send a heartbeat message separated by colon can be specified by variable SEND_HEARTBEAT_TIME24
2. Provide user feedback that Dbvisit is running the silent archive log gap report.
3. Release for all platforms.

Fixes:

1. Dbvisit could not locate trace files while running AMM module in windows environment – fixed
2. When running -R, do not run silent inspect (RUN_INSPECT=Yes) as this meant Dbvisit is contacting the standby database twice.
3. Compatibility with IE9 resolved.

Are you prepared for a data disaster?

43% of business never reopen after an loss of data disaster*
29% close after 2 years*
93% of companies that suffer significant data loss are out of business within 5 years**

These are statistics to be taken seriously. Some of these statistics could have been prevented if they had installed Dbvisit.

For many businesses their database is their lifeblood, without it, there is no business. Yet in most instances businesses are NOT sufficiently protected in case of an unforseen emergency such as hardware failures, power outages, network issues, bomb threats, fires, earthquakes, disgruntled employees and floods.

Having a data recovery strategy in place is absolutely critical whether you are in Manufacturing, Health care, Governmental, IT, or Financial.
Business continuity is now a CEO and boardroom level concern.

Making sure you have a disaster recovery strategy in place is absolutely critical. Having a dedicated Oracle disaster recovery solution for your Oracle databases is crucial for the future of your business.
