    The document describes using the Data Guard Broker to perform a failover from a primary database to a standby database after simulating a failure of the primary by killing its PMON process. It explains connecting to the standby database and using the Data Guard Broker to fail over to the standby. It then discusses two methods for rebuilding the original primary database after the failover and how the Data Guard Broker can be used to automatically recover, mount, and start media recovery on the rebuilt primary with a single command.

    ********* Data Guard Broker Failover *********

    A failover is when you have lost primary database. It’s very simple to perform
    failover using data guard broker.

    *** ***Crash Primary Database (Simulate) *** ***

    Let us simulate failure. We will kill the PMON process at OS level on primary

    ********** Failover to Standby *** *******

    Connect to standby database proddb_st (as primary crashed or not available) and failover
    to standby proddb_st
    ********** Rebuild Primary After Failover **********

    Post failover, there are two methods of rebuilding your failed primary

    Method 1: Rebuild from scratch –> RMAN duplicate

    Method 2: Flashback database –> only if Flashback was enabled


    Reinstate failed primary: When you use data guard broker, with just one command,
    the primary can be rebuilt. Start the failed primary server, in this case start proddb
    server

    Verify proddb post reinstate: The best part is broker will automatically
    recover earlier failed primary proddb, mount the database and start
    MRP too

    Switchover to get original configuration: At this stage, you can perform switchover to again
    get back original configuration
