Hello list,

We are in process of setting up data guard and one of the thing i was
thinking was to set "archive_lag_target" to 1800 seconds, so that i do not
loose my redo data on the standby site if there was a failure on primary,
but then it also got me thinking, I am using real time apply(this is
specific to 11g system). From what i understand about real-time apply is
"it allows Data Guard to recover redo data from the current standby redo
log as it is being filled by the RFS process", if that is the case why
would i need to set archive_lag_target as my data is being pushed out
anyways ??

thoughts ??
