Hi, I tried to verify if archived logs get applied correctly to my standby database via v$archived_log and v$archive_dest_status but they both returned different results. From the documentation: v$archive_dest_status.APPLIED_SEQ# NUMBER Identifies the log sequence number of the most recent applied redo log received at the destination v$archived_log.APPLIED VARCHAR2(3) (YES|NO) Indicates whether or not the archivelog has been applied to its corresponding standby database. YES indicates it has been applied; NO indicates it has not. The value is always NO for local destinations SQL> select name,sequence#,archived,applied from v$archived_log; NAME SEQUENCE# ARC APP -------------------------------------------------- ---------- --- --- ... ... ... C:\ORACLE\ADMIN\PSTUR\RARCHDEST\ARC00878.001 878 YES YES C:\ORACLE\ADMIN\PSTUR\RARCHDEST\ARC00879.001 879 YES YES C:\ORACLE\ADMIN\PSTUR\RARCHDEST\ARC00880.001 880 YES YES C:\ORACLE\ADMIN\PSTUR\RARCHDEST\ARC00881.001 881 YES YES SQL> select dest_name,archived_seq#,applied_seq# from v$archive_dest_status; DEST_NAME ARCHIVED_SEQ# APPLIED_SEQ# ------------------------------ ------------- ------------ LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1 560 0 LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2 0 0 LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_3 0 0 LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_4 0 0 LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_5 0 0 LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_6 0 0 LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_7 0 0 LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_8 0 0 LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_9 0 0 LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_10 0 0 LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_11 881 880 if v$archived_log.applied=YES for sequence#881, I would expect that v$archive_dest_status.applied_seq#=881 too, isn't it? Instead it reports that the max sequence that has been applied is 880. Am I making the right comparision? Which view should I rely on? DB: 9.2.0.4 thanks.
