Automatic database startup issues after SWITCHOVER!

All,

We are in the process of testing DG SWITCHOVER functionality in our environment. We are using DG CLI (DGMGRL) to perform the switchover. The switchover works fine, except the primary and the physical standby instances doesn't get restarted automatically.

Configuration:- Oracle 10g Release 2
- Solaris 10
- MaxAvailability mode
- Physical Standby setup
- File structures are identical

Do you have any suggestions? Any help is appreciated.

Per 'Data Guard Broker' documentation and recommendation, we have tried using a new service with the following specific names and registered statically with the local listener of each instance:

infovista1_DGMRL.xyz.com
infovista2_DGMRL.xyz.com


Output
Following is the output from DGMGRL:

Microsoft launches Windows Live file sharing beta

(InfoWorld) - Microsoft on Wednesday started limited beta offerings of Windows Live file and photo sharing services.

Along with others that have recently been rolled out, they will be part of a suite of services making up the second generation of Windows Live, said Brian Hall, general manager of Windows Live at Microsoft.

Windows Live Folder, available to select beta users Wednesday, is meant to allow file sharing without relying on e-mail, external USB devices, or public sharing sites.

On the Live Folder page, users first create a new folder and then choose from a list of contacts or enter an e-mail address of a person with whom to share a file. Next, the user adds a file, such as a video or document, to the folder. Clicking on "send a link," opens up an Outlook Mail message that includes a link to the file online. Users can then send an e-mail to the person with the link.

While the service uses e-mail to share a link, users don't actually send the files in order to share them because the files are stored and accessed online. In addition, it restricts viewers only to invited guests, as opposed to public sites where users may post video, for example, that can be seen by anyone.

As part of the beta, users will be able to share files up to 50MB and will have 500MB of free storage. Users can allow others to alter the shared files or restrict them to read only.

Other online services offer similar functionality, sometimes as part of online storage offerings. Xdrive, Box.net, and Omnidrive all offer services that let users store content online and share the content with invited guests by e-mailing them links to it.

Microsoft is also launching a controlled beta of Windows Live Photo Gallery, a photo service that upgrades the photo gallery capabilities in Vista, Hall said. One new feature is the ability to stitch photos together into a panorama. In addition, Windows Photo Gallery users can more easily share photos via Windows Live Spaces. Rather than hitting an upload button and scrolling through folders to choose a specific photo, users can select the photo in a file and quickly share it to Live Spaces.

For now, the betas are only available to users Microsoft has invited. The company plans a more open public beta in the third quarter.

The services will be part of the second generation suite of Windows Live services that will all become available in the fourth quarter. The goal of this new generation of services is to offer a cohesive feel for Windows Live, Hall said.

Key to all the second-generation services are allowing users to share content, access content anywhere and feel confident that the services are secure, he said.

These new Windows Live services, which also include Windows Live Mail and Windows Live Writer, embrace Microsoft's "software plus services" vision. That's because they combine software components with online services.

The three fold orientation of this airtical fits hand in glove with the three basic financial statements of every business: the profit report income statement,the financial condition report balance sheet,and the cash flow report statement of cash flows. Business managers should never ignore the cash flow consequences of their decisions. Higher profit may mean lower cash flow; managers must clearly n derstandwhy, as well as the cash flow timing from their profit. Externally reported financial statements are prepared according to generally accepted accounting principles GAAP. GAAP provide the bed rock rules for measuring profit. Business managers obviously needo know how muchprofit the business is earning.But, to carry out their decision-making and control functions,managers need more information than is reported in the external profit report of the business. GAAP are the pointof departure for preparing the more informative financial statements and other internal accounting reports needed bybusiness managers. The failing of GAAP is not that these accounting rules are wrong for measuring profit,nor are they wrong for presenting the financial condition of a business—not at all. It's just that GAAP do not deal with presenting financial information to managers. In fact, much of this management information is very confidential and would never be included in an external financial report open to public view.
