Re: strange error on switchover to standby

Hi Andrew,

Check out the broker logfile, when correct this will explain where it goes wrong. You can find this logfile drc*.log in the same location as the alert.log of the database. Be sure you check both location (the primary and standby)

You can also enable additional tracing in the broker but as mentioned I believe the drc log will contain the error.

Greetings,
Bernhard

I expect its a simple ownership problem, but I cannot figure out what directory I need to work on. I tried setting the trace level to support in dgmgrl, but it didnt show the information I needed. Any ideas?
