Chris,

You don't change the activation number.  Remember the "incarnation" that
gets reset with reset logs...

Remember, the standby is dependent on the change# and redo sequences of the
primary.  When you resetlogs, you break all of that in a big way.  Just
like you can't recover until you take a new backup of the primary, the
standby can't recover until you rebuild it to match the incarnation of the
primary.

You need to rebuild the standby.  If taking down the primary is a problem,
there are good notes on Metalink for building off of a hot backup.
