Dbvisit Standby terminated... 
Error Code: 2007 
Dbvisit Standby is unable to find the hostname of the current server. An alternative 
command can be specified to find the hostname. This can be set with variable 
HOSTNAME_CMD in Dbvisit Database configuration (DDC) file dbv_PROD.env. Please add 
this variable.

However, in dbv_PROD.env: 
HOSTNAME_CMD = /usr/dbvisit/standby/dbvhost

$ ls -l /usr/dbvisit/standby/dbvhost 
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 oracle oracle 31 Jul 6 15:08 /usr/dbvisit/standby/dbvhost

$ cat /usr/dbvisit/standby/dbvhost 
#!/bin/bash 
echo dbvlab01
Solution

The problem is, that you cannot  have a path for the  parameter HOSTNAME_CMD.It accepts only filename, so the file has to be in your $DBVISIT_BASE/standby directory.

The steps for creating new files is described below , but you can of course just take your old file /usr/dbvisit/standby/dbvhost and place it in $DBVISIT_BASE/standby directory. 

#primary

echo "echo dbvlab01" > dbvhost_PROD.sh; chmod +x dbvhost_PROD.sh

#standby

echo "echo dbvlab03" > dbvhost_PROD.sh; chmod +x dbvhost_PROD.sh

So the HOSTNAME_CMD parameter should look like below in the DDC file.

HOSTNAME_CMD = dbvhost_PROD.sh
