Recommendations for Fusion Middleware Components 2-7
It is recommended that the standby database be synchronized when the application tier synchronization is initiated on the storage. This synchronization occurs
automatically because Oracle Data Guard is configured in Managed Recovery mode the recommended configuration for the database. If the standby database is not in
Managed Recovery mode, then you should manually synchronize the standby database. For more information, see
Section 3.3.2, Manually Forcing Database Synchronization with Oracle Data Guard
and Applying Redo Data to Physical Standby Databases in the Oracle Data Guard Concepts and Administration.
Recovery Recommendations The database containing the Oracle WebCenter schemas must be recovered to the most
recent point in time, along with the Managed Servers running the WebCenter applications.

This section describes various Oracle WebCenter Portlets artifacts and provides recommendations for disaster recovery.
Artifacts in the Database The Portlet schema stores user customizations and is part of the Oracle WebCenter
schemas, and the MDS repository stores Portlet metadata and configuration information.
Synchronization Recommendations The application tier must be manually synchronized with the standby site after
making configuration changes, deploying applications, and applying patches.
