That is such a good blog entry Iggy - oops - just realised I wrote it. It is
all coming flooding back now
We have done some work using a Dataguard Observer as well after an incident
when a production server was down and out - we failed over and about 24 hours
later the unix team got it back up and it restarted in open mode and as it was
advertising a service it got data loaded into it. When we refreshed the now
standby (the failed server) we lost that data.
I will blog about it very shortly

I found this article:
https://jhdba.wordpress.com/2014/08/06/preventing-standby-databases-opening-in-active-dataguard-mode-chopt/
The summary is that you did not make the change intentionally. Oracle did it
without your asking, without your knowledge, and without warning you that it
had made a change that would cause you to incur additional licensing charges.

Just wanted to reply with a Thank You to all. I appreciate all the great advice.
I know I shouldn't take it personal, but it really does irritate me that Oracle
seems to take the position of criminalizing their customer first. I really do
try my best to stay within compliance as it is the responsible and respectable
thing to do, but the respect sure does feel one sided when dealing with
licensing. I'm just hoping that working with Oracle we can resolve this.
Thanks again,
Michael

What an excellent response Matthew. This is really helpful information for
anyone responsible for ensuring that license compliance is adhered to.
Thanks for taking the time to write it up and post to the list.
