ORA-16665

Timed out waiting for a result from a member.

Cause

The Oracle Data Guard broker was forced to time out a network connection to a remote member because:

  • The network call to the remote member did not complete in a timely manner
  • The remote member was unable to process the command due to an instance failure

Action

Check Data Guard broker log files for the details of the failure. If the network call did not complete in a timely manner, increase the CommunicationTimeout configuration property value and reissue the command.
