standby_db

This parameter is only relevant for Standby Database and Split Mirror Backup.

The connection string to the standby database instance is defined with this parameter so that BRBACKUP can log on to the standby database (for example, TNS alias in TNSNAMES.ORA).

Syntax Syntax

```
standby_db = <conn_str> | LOCAL
```

End of the code.

Default value: none

Possible value:

<conn_str>: connection string for the connect from the backup host to the standby database
LOCAL: local connection on the same host as the standby database

Example Example

standby_db = C11_STBY

End of the example.

This must permit connection with SYSDBA authorization. On UNIX, this requires the Oracle password file. Or you can use the environment variable BR_RSC, as described in SAP Note 914174.
