The complete installation and configuration should take less than 30 minutes. The server or the database does not need to be restarted.
This is a quick installation guide only. For the complete step-by-step instructions please see the Dbvisit Installation Guide and User Manual.
RAC environment
In an Oracle RAC environment, Dbvisit must be installed and configured as below on each primary node in the RAC cluster.
Primary Server (or primary node)
1. On the primary server (or primary RAC node), double click on the Dbvisit installation executable. Click on Run.
2. Accept the license terms.
3. Please ensure that the windows account that is used to install Dbvisit is the same account that installed the Oracle software.
4. Click on next and follow the on-screen instructions.
5. When instructed, initiate the Dbvisit install on the standby server.
Standby Server
6. Go to the standby server and double click on the Dbvisit installation executable.
7. Accept the license terms.
8. Please ensure that the windows account that is used to install Dbvisit is the same account that installed the Oracle software (it also must be the same account as used on the primary server).
9. Click on next and follow the on-screen instructions.
10. Dbvisit installation on the standby server is completed.
Primary Server
11. Continue the installation on the primary server as instructed.
12. Dbvisit is now installed and must be configured for a specific database. Click Yes to configure this now.
13. Dbvisit will now be configured. Choose option 1 and follow the on-screen instructions and accept the defaults.
14. Dbvisit has been installed on the primary server. Please click OK to exit.
The Dbvisit software and secure shell have been installed. Dbvisit has also been configured. Before Dbvisit is run, the standby database must be created.
If a
standby database is already created, then this step can be ignored. Please
continue with the next step.
See http://www.dbvisit.com/docs/Creating_a_standby_database_windows.pdf on how to create a standby

Running Dbvisit
Executing Dbvisit commands
Dbvisit commands are run from the Dbvisit command console.
Start the Dbvisit command console from the Start Menu -> Programs -> Dbvisit.
1. Executing Dbvisit on the primary server:
dbvisit
oracle_database
Where
oracle_database is the name of the database (or RAC instance).
Example:
|
C:\Program Files\Dbvisit\dbvisit w120n |
Where
w120n is the name of your database
The first time that Dbvisit
executes, the Dbvisit installation and configuration files will be copied over
to the standby server. This is equivalent to running Dbvisit with the –c
option.
2. Executing Dbvisit on the standby server:
dbvisit
oracle_database
Where
oracle_database is the name of the database (or RAC instance).
Example:
|
C:\Program Files\Dbvisit\dbvisit w120n |
Where
w120n is the name of your standby database

commands overview.
