We investigated this at my previous employer. The primary setup there was
EBiz 11.5.10.1
DB 10.2.0.3 (ish) - 3 node RAC
Apps Tier 3 dual processors boxes
The standby worked just fine with FORCE LOGGING. What we couldn't do adequately back then was DR for the apps tier. It's no coincidence that a 3 node RAC had 3 apps nodes as well, since some of the comms was instance specific - using pipes. This is addressed by having a shared APPL_TOP, but if that isn't an option for you - as it wasn't really for us - then DG was a bit of a pointless exercise. I think I'd probably want to be on EBiz R12 (and a minimum of 11.5.10.2 and tech stack 6) before trying to do DR using standby sites for Ebiz. If your budget reaches to it then stretch RAC and 2 data centres might be a better bet.
We used tapes :)
