I missed an answer to part of your reply. These are the steps I took:
  1. tnsnames setup on both site
  2. unique names set
  3. log_archive_config, log_archive_dest_1, log_archive_dest_2 set on both sites as per my first post
  4. checked config, this sql returns no error: col destination for a10 select destination, status, archived_thread#, archived_seq#, ERROR, SYNCHRONIZATION_STATUS from v$archive_dest_status where status != 'INACTIVE'; but SYNCHRONIZATION_STATUS = 'CHECK CONFIGURATION'
  5. redo logs on primary: GROUP# THREAD# MEMBER SEQ ARC STATUS FIRST_CHANGE# FIRST_TIME MBYTES ------ ------- ---------------------------------------------- ------- --- -------- ------------- ------------------ -------- 1 1 /u02/oradata/RL1STPOC/redo01.log 33 YES INACTIVE 4907755 07-Sep-14 15:06:49 500.00 2 1 /u02/oradata/RL1STPOC/redo02.log 34 YES INACTIVE 4910048 07-Sep-14 15:08:08 500.00 3 1 /u02/oradata/RL1STPOC/redo03.log 35 NO CURRENT 5289549 08-Sep-14 16:54:51 500.00
  6. 4 standby redo logs created on downstream database (500MB)
  7. streamsadmin user and all privs added
  8. dblinks created. I've created links in both directions, but only for convenience, i.e. I can run commands downstream from the primary database. This is is only a POC, I wont be able to do this in production, db links will not be allowed. Possibly a link from downstream to primary but definitely not allowed the other way.
  9. streams pool set to 15m downstream
  10. ADD SUPPLEMENTAL LOG DATA (ALL) COLUMNS on all tables to be replicated. Done on primary
  11. maintain tables run: begin dbms_streams_adm.maintain_tables_at_rl1stpoc(table_names => <list of tables> source_directory_object => null, destination_directory_object => null, source_database => 'ROPSTPOC', destination_database => 'RL1STPOC', capture_name => 'STRM_CAPTURE', capture_queue_table => 'STRM_CAPTURE_T', capture_queue_name => 'STRM_CAPTURE', capture_queue_user => 'STREAMSADMIN', propagation_name => null, apply_name => 'STRM_APPLY', apply_queue_table => 'STRM_APPLY_T', apply_queue_name => 'STRM_APPLY', apply_queue_user => 'STREAMSADMIN', include_ddl => true, bi_directional => false, perform_actions => true, instantiation => DBMS_STREAMS_ADM.INSTANTIATION_TABLE_NETWORK); dbms_output.put_line('RL1STPOC maintain_tables done');

  exception
    when others then
      dbms_output.put_line(sqlerrm);
  end;

No errors here, but the instantiation does not rebuild the tables. We have referenced partition tables which causes this to fail (without exception). So I manually exported teh tables, dropped on downstream and imported (expdp/impdp)
12) set_table_instantiation_sc

select current_scn into l_current_scn from v$database; DBMS_APPLY_ADM.set_table_instantiation_scn_at_RL1STPOC(source_object_name => i.table_name,

source_database_name => 'ROPSTPOC',

                                                          instantiation_scn
   => l_current_scn);
no errors
13) DBMS_CAPTURE_ADM.SET_PARAMETER_at_RL1STPOC(
    capture_name => 'STRM_CAPTURE',
    parameter    => 'downstream_real_time_mine',
    value        => 'Y');

Get the error
ERROR at line 1:

ORA-26761: Standby Redo Logs not available for real time mining
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOGREP_UTIL", line 177
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_CAPTURE_ADM", line 291
ORA-06512: at line 6

Any ideas?
