Flashback SCN value not preserved after database shutdown
I am working with Oracle Flashback for the first time and have not been able to save the SCN value after an Oracle shutdown and startup. My environment is this:
Operating system: HP/UX Itanium. Version B.11.31
Database Version: HP/UX Itanium. Oracle 19.10.0.0.0
Here are the steps I performed to setup Flashback for a database test instance.
1) I created a test standby database instance of my primary testdatabase instance using Data Guard and put it in archivelog mode.
2) I then choose a server volume with 582 G of free space. The database instance I am working with is 64 G in size. Under this volume I created a /lab01msa19/u02/oracle/fra directory structure which the oracle id has read, write and execute permission. The oinstall group has read and execute permission.
