To automate the instantiation of a PDB in the standby database after creating a remote clone in the primary database, certain conditions must be met:

• Open PDBI (remote clone source) in Read Only (A): The source PDB from which the clone is created must be open in read-only mode to ensure a consistent state during cloning.
• Set STANDBY_PDB_SOURCE_FILE_DIRECTORY to in the london database (C): This parameter specifies the location on the standby database where the files from the source PDB should be placed.
• Set STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT to auto in the london database (F): This parameter automates the management of file changes on the standby database when structural changes occur on the primary database, ensuring that the clone operation is reflected automatically on the standby.References:

The DBMS_ROLLING package facilitates a rolling upgrade process across a Data Guard configuration. The START PLAN procedure in particular handles several critical actions, including:

• Creating a guaranteed restore point on the standby databases (B): This ensures that the standby databases can be reverted to their state before the rolling upgrade process in case of any issues.
• Building a LogMiner dictionary on the primary database instance (C): This is necessary for logical standby databases to interpret redo data during the SQL Apply process.
• Creating a guaranteed restore point on the primary database (D): Similar to the standby databases, this ensures that the primary database can be reverted to a known good state if necessary.References:

Creating a physical standby database using RMAN active database duplication requires certain prerequisites to ensure a successful and seamless operation:

• Configure Oracle Net connectivity on the primary host to the standby database instance (A): Proper Oracle Net connectivity between the primary and standby servers is essential for communication and data transfer during the duplication process. Oracle Net services provide the network foundation for Oracle Database, Oracle Net Listener, and Oracle applications.
• Establish user equivalence for the database software owner between the primary host and standby host (B): User equivalence ensures that the user who owns the Oracle Database software on the primary server has the same privileges on the standby server. This is crucial for RMAN to perform operations on both servers without encountering permission issues.
• Startup nomount the standby database instance (C): The standby database instance needs to be started in the NOMOUNT stage before the duplication can begin. This prepares the environment for creating the control file and restoring the database without mounting it, which is a necessary step in the RMAN duplication process.References:

Transaction Guard provides benefits in terms of transaction consistency and recovery in a Data Guard environment:

• It provides application continuity by rolling back uncommitted transactions interrupted by a failover or switchover (B): Transaction Guard ensures that any uncommitted transactions at the time of an outage are rolled back consistently, thus preserving the integrity of the application's data and state.
• It protects against recoverable errors during a planned or an unplanned outage of a primary database (D): Transaction Guard offers protection against errors that can occur during outages, allowing applications to resume operations more quickly and reliably after recovery.References:
