After the Database Administrator has loaded the dump into the standby database and resumed the connection to the standby database, the standby DSI begins processing messages from the active database. Replication Server writes in its log messages similar to this:
I. 95/11/01 18:50:34. The DSI thread for database 'SYDNEY_DS.pubs2' is started. I. 95/11/01 18:50:41. Setting LTM truncation to 'ignore' for SYDNEY_DS.pubs2 log I. 95/11/01 18:50:43. DSI for SYDNEY_DS.pubs2 received and processed Enable Replication Marker. Waiting for Dump Marker I. 95/11/01 18:50:43. DSI for SYDNEY_DS.pubs2 received and processed Dump Marker. DSI is now applying commands to the Standby
When you see the final message in the log file, the warm standby database creation process has completed.
