Reinstate a Physical Standby with Data Guard Broker Configured.

All,

I had both the primary and standby servers go offline.

I am in the process of restoring the physical standby.

The primary is an 10.2.0.5 database supporting an Oracle EBS 11.5.10.2 .

I removed the standby database files in preparation for the RMAN Duplicate restore.

Before commencing the RMAN Restore I have performed the below on the primary.

We have a planned outage next weekend so I need to get the standby back online.

(Q) Should the Data Guard Broker be started before the standby restore process has completed?

Below are the steps I have taken on the primary.

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET DG_BROKER_START=TRUE;
