Steps to be performed on Primary

Verify that it is possible to perform a switchover

Note : Ensure No active sessions should be present SQL> alter database commit to switchover to physical standby ; Note : If SWITCHOVER_STATUS returns "SESSIONS ACTIVE" SQL> alter database commit to switchover to physical standby with session shutdown; SQL> shutdown immediate SQL> startup nomount ; SQL > alter database mount standby database; SQL > alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2 = defer; Steps to be performed on Standby Database Verify that the physical standby can be converted to the new primary
