I don't have the time right now to elaborate, probably in a couple of hours.
Paul is right about the 'commit to switchover' commands. However, his
suggestion will 'activate' the standby, thereby invalidating the primary
for further usage as a standby. That might not be what you really want.
It's also possible to do a switchover, and switchback later.
I'll come back on this later today.
