Hi all , I'm testing Farsync and it seems that always a gap in current_scn between primary and farsync and standby . I don't understand why... I've the following configuration : DGMGRL> show configuration verbose Configuration - dr Protection Mode: MaxAvailability Members: ldb1 - Primary database ldb1fs - Far sync instance ldb1sb - Physical standby database Properties: FastStartFailoverThreshold = '30' OperationTimeout = '30' TraceLevel = 'USER' FastStartFailoverLagLimit = '30' CommunicationTimeout = '180' ObserverReconnect = '0' FastStartFailoverAutoReinstate = 'TRUE' FastStartFailoverPmyShutdown = 'TRUE' BystandersFollowRoleChange = 'ALL' ObserverOverride = 'FALSE' ExternalDestination1 = '' ExternalDestination2 = '' PrimaryLostWriteAction = 'CONTINUE' Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED Configuration Status: SUCCESS DGMGRL> enable configuration Enabled.
