Hi, just in the process of creating a physical standby database without using dataguard, ie using SQL. Am getting the following error. ORA-16057: DGID from server not in Data Guard configuration Checked out what I can think off, ie db_unique_name matches whats in log_archive_config on the standby side. log_archive_config string dg_config=raprn db_unique_name string raprn fal_client string raprn fal_server string caprn Any ideas?
