Hi, I have recently configured ---- Primary Database and Physical Standby Database on same Machine (Test case).

Primary Database : orcl
Standby Database : orcl_stby

I have too configured - DGMRL , Successfully.

I just want to clear concept of "SWITCH -- PRIM DATABASE TO STANDBY"

---- While performing "switchover to Standby database" using "DGMGRL, went fine. No problem. [ ORCL ----> ORCL_STBY]

----- But the same when I tried to perform Switch via - SQL COMMAND - I faced an Issue , stating.. [ ORCL_STBY ---> ORCL]


Primary:
========
SQL> alter database commit to switchover to standby;
alter database commit to switchover to standby
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01093: ALTER DATABASE CLOSE only permitted with no sessions connected

Then after some R&D, I observed, that my Standby Database was in "READ ONLY APPLY" MODE

Then I performed : Primary Database MachinE :

SQL> ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PHYSICAL STANDBY
2 WITH SESSION SHUTDOWN;
Database altered.

And once I finish-up Entire process of Switchover successfull, then I found --- On Standby

[ORCL]
=======
SQL> select name,open_mode,database_role,db_unique_name,protection_mode from v$database;

Database log mode Archive Mode
Automatic archival Enabled
Archive destination USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST
Oldest online log sequence 0
Next log sequence to archive 0
Current log sequence 0
SQL>

Even .... Log GAp also happened.. and took little time to bring into Synch.. As my Standby Machine stop appling Redo.

Is this because my Standby database to "MOUNT" STATE??? , OR some other reason could it be...??

Should I need to bring my Standby database to "MOUNT" STATE, then I have to execute --- alter database commit to switchover to standby; --- in Primary Database Machine

Please Clarify me so that Next time, I will be bit careful, to perform this operation.

Thanks & Regards

You say that you configured the Broker. What did you do to the Broker before trying your manual switchover? If you removed the Broker configuration, by default you will have cleared the parameters that control redo transport. Better check that they are still there and set appropriately.
