database replication server is not running or running on other node Explanation: The database replication server process is not running on the standby node specified, or has abnormally terminated. There may also be a problem with the mailbox used to communicate with the database replication server. User Action: Check the system to determine whether or not the database replication server process is actually running on your system. Check the use of cluster aliases, as the replication connection may have been attempted on another node of the designated cluster. If the database replication server process does not appear to be running, have your database administrator start the replication server, and try again. If the database replication server process appears to be running properly, then the problem may be related to the mailbox by which user processes communicate with the replication server process. Make sure the "server name" specified for both the live and standby databases logical are unique and identical. On VMS platforms, the "server name" is used to create a logical of the same name that resides in a logical name table accessible to all users, typically the LNM$PERMANENT_MAILBOX name table. If the replication server process abnormally terminated, a bugcheck dump will normally be produced. Search the bugcheck dump for a string of five asterisks (*****) using the SEARCH/WINDOW command. You will see a line with a format similar to this: ***** Exception at <address> : <database module name> + <offset> %facility-severity-text, <error text> The exception line will be followed by one or more additional errors that will help you to determine what caused the replication server process to fail. Typically, the problem is caused by insufficient quotas or system resources. However, other possible causes include misdefined or undefined filename logicals. Depending on the cause of the problem, take the appropriate action. If you are uncertain of what to do, contact your Oracle support representative for assistance.
