I've been looking at this note and thinking it's a possible solution for some 
of my testing requirements. But, I have a question... is a very important step 
missing from this document? What about "alter database flashback on;"? Or is it 
not required for the standby?

Absolutely. I use this in 10gR2 to allow apps to verify the standby database 
and do updates,and then flashback the database so i don't have to rebuild the 
standby. Works awesome.

Can I flashback a physical standby?

Scenario is this..
opps update on table last friday.
Can't flashback the table ...snaphsot too old

I was thinking that I might be able to open the standby , flashback, get the 
data , flash forward, resume recovery

Or do I do TSPITR with RMAN on auxillary instance.

We are ...
10.2.0.4. RAC as primary with no rac on single instance physical standby
OEL 4.5
