Yes, I was aware of the resetlogs issue.

But the activation id issue sent me off on a tangent. I was paranoid, as always, and wondering if the activation id issue was something different from the resetlogs. We havent setup ops with standbys so everything little thing with standbys conerns us. I believe were doing something called....testing...an amazing concept...I wonder if Microsoft.........

Chris,

You don't change the activation number. Remember the "incarnation" that gets reset with reset logs...

Remember, the standby is dependent on the change# and redo sequences of the
primary. When you resetlogs, you break all of that in a big way. Just like you can't recover until you take a new backup of the primary, the standby can't recover until you rebuild it to match the incarnation of the
primary.

You need to rebuild the standby. If taking down the primary is a problem,
there are good notes on Metalink for building off of a hot backup.
