Hi

Did you give value DEFER to  the log_archive_dest_state_n parameter for the
phsical standby database

I think the database is still looking for the standby

Hi all,
          Im getting this ORA-01034 error in my alert lot from a long time
even though the database is up and running and even the listener is working
correctly. Following is the text from my alert log, which is continuously

I have been getting the above text (ORA-01034) in the alert log since  a
long time. I tried to look into this trace file " DB1_arc0_31166.trc" and
issued the following to see if there are any ORA errors
$ cat DB1_arc0_3166.trc | grep -v ORA-01034 | grep ORA

for which, i got the following errors

ORA-12541: TNS: no listener
ORA-16058: Standby database instance is not mounted

along with ORA-01034: Oracle Not Available error.  We have a standby
database in place, which is down from a long time. The error associated with
ORA-01034 in the trace file tells about the standby database, so is this the
situation because the standby is down?. The database DB1 is up and running
and im able to connect & work on it with out any problem. Any suggestions
for any other reasons this error could occur and how actually to diagnose
it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Godwin.
