File and Database Synchronization
Whenever the HA configuration determines that there is a change on the primary server, it synchronizes
this change with the secondary server. These changes are of two types:
1. Database: These include database updates related to configuration, performance and monitoring
data.
2. File: These include changes to configuration files.
Database changes are synchronized with the help of the Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN). RMAN
creates the active and standby database and synchronizes the databases when there is any change.
File changes are synchronized using the HTTPS protocol. File synchronization is done either in:
• Batch: This category includes files that are not updated frequently (such as license files). These files
are synchronized once every 500 seconds.
• Near Real-Time: Files that are updated frequently fall under this category. These files are
synchronized once every 11 seconds.
