Identifies an available secondary link to the standby database. Applicable to: Master database Required or Optional: Optional Default Value: None The Alt_Remote_Node qualifier is used to provide the master database with uninterrupted hot standby replication in case of network failure where multiple network links are available. It can only be used in conjunction with the Standby_Root qualifier, which specifies the standby database node name. The Alt_Remote_Node qualifier identifies the alternate remote node name of the standby database. Following network failure, the master database automatically attempts to reconnect to the standby database using the alternate remote node name information. If the Alt_Remote_Node qualifier is not specified, the master database does not automatically attempt to reconnect to the standby database using the orginal remote node name specified using the Standby_Root qualifier. The alternate node name can be the same as the node name specified with the Standby_Root qualifier. The node name specified by the Alt_Remote_Node qualifier must identify the same standby database on the same remote node as originally specified using the Standby_Root qualifier. The maximum length of the alternate remote node name is 31 characters. At run-time, the RDM$BIND_HOT_NETWORK_ALT_NODE logical name can be defined in the LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE table to override any alternate remote node name information specified at hot standby startup. The logical must be specified on all nodes where the master database is open.
