Description

Graceful switchover terminates with an error: 

  • `Unable to load the shared library "orasrvmhas12.dll"or a dependent library`

This error might be seen with Oracle Database releases 12.2 and above on Windows based platforms.

Solution

The Oracle Instant Client libraries for Dbvisit Standby Version 8 and 9 are 12.1

This is to cater for Oracle Database version 10.2 and above.

If you encounter this error, there are potentially two workarounds available.

Note: This issue is fixed in Dbvisit Standby Version 10, where it provides an option to choose Oracle Instant Client version 12.1 or 12.2 

Steps Performed

Workaround 1:  

Go to %DBVISIT_BASE%/standby/lib directory

rename file orannzsbb12.dll to orannzsbb12.dll_norun

Workaround 2:

Replace the Instant client libraries in %DBVISIT_BASE%/standby/lib with the 12.2 instant client equivalent files.
