Gap Sequence message in alert.log of physical standby after switch back
We are currently testing switchover / switchback using a 2 node 9i (9.2.0.7) RAC database and a stand alone physical standby database
we first tested the switchover successfully (we shutdown one RAC instance before initiating switch over)
We then tested the switchback so that the 2 node RAC once again becomes the primary database and the stand alone database once again becomes the physical standby database. The switchback process seems to have gone smoothly but on the physical standby alert .log we saw the messages
