Tales From A Lazy Fat DBA

Error message while changing ‘logxptmode’ using DGMGRL CLI on Primary Database:

DGMGRL> edit database ‘orcl’ set property ‘logxptmode’=’SYNC’;
edit database ‘orcl’ set property ‘logxptmode’=’SYNC’;
Error: ORA-16789: missing standby redo logs
Solution:
As it is clearly asking about missing standby redo logs, Hence we have to create a redo log entry for standby

SQL> alter database add standby logfile (‘/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/log1.rdo’) size 20m;

Database altered.

DGMGRL> edit database orcl set property logxptmode=”SYNC”;
edit database orcl set property logxptmode=”SYNC”;
Property “logxptmode” updated
