Hi, Can you check the output of v$archived_dest_status ? select INST_ID,DEST_NAME,STATUS,RECOVERY_MODE,ARCHIVED_THREAD#,ARCHIVED_SEQ#,APPLIED_THREAD#,APPLIED_SEQ#,DB_UNIQUE_NAME from GV$ARCHIVE_DEST_STATUS where DEST_NAME in ('LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2'); Also monitor the alert log when you issue the following command: SQL> recover managed standby database using current logfile disconnect; If real-time apply is not possible in your setup, it would give messages in the alert log saying the same.
