Steps to configure Oracle Data Guard 12.2 for non-multitenant database

This document describes the configuration of the Oracle Data Guard Version 12.2. We will configure a standby for a non-multitenant database.

Our test environment consists of two Linux (OEL 7.3) servers: oradg1 and oradg2. I already created the non-multitenant database on the server oradg1. We will configure the standby database on the server oradg2. We will use a new feature of 12.2 by creating a physical standby via dbca – oracle database creation assistant.
