Is physical standby instantiation possible through datapump?

edited Nov 11, 2017 4:03AM in High Availability Data Guard, Sharding and Global Data Services (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered

We are being asked to implement a new Active Data Guard physical standby database in a 2-node RAC environment.  As an alternative to RMAN backup/duplication, is it possible to instantiate a new standby database by doing a full datapump export on the primary node, copying the dump file to the standby server and then importing from that dump file into the target database - before finally enabling standby redo transport and apply?  If so, what are the steps for doing this.  Thanks.

Howdy, Stranger!
