OCI-16478

cannot locate far sync connect string

Cause

The connect string for the far sync that was flagged as the source of redo for this database could not be located.


Action

Define a LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter on the standby for the far sync using the SERVICE attribute to define the connect string for the far sync. This destination should be set to the DEFER state using the corresponding LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_n parameter. Once the connect string is defined, retry the failover operation. Note that while using the FORCE option on the failover command allows the operation to proceed and bypass the far sync, this choice increases the potential for data loss.
