Hi
Chapter 7 of the data guard implementation guide describes about role
transitions. There are two scenarios which are described here (a)
failvoer (b) switchover.
What if I really dont want to do both of them. I want to test my
standby by breaking it, but dont want to make it primary.
My standby is in a remote location and I just want to set it up, break
the standby (when the primary is up) and see if I can make it work.
Once this works, the idea is to rebuild the standby and it would be in
managed recovery state
The standby is in a DR site which ideally I want to failover during an
actual DR but I want to test my standby setup (on whether I can break
it etc) before the acctual DR and document the procedure.

When I tried to keep primary up and try to break the standby , it
would not allow me even though I disable the log_archive_Dest_2.

Thank you for any pointers

- Kumar
