Re: applying online redo log to standby db

Just found discussion in metalink #25682.999 (Re : Urgent: Disaster Recovery or Standby database):

>If the database is accessible, we recommend using 'archive log current' and
apply the archivelogs rather than the online logs.

>Technically, as long as the file is not being written to at the time the
file is copied over and the redo log files are applied to the correct
>database, it should work. Support status usually goes with testing. We have
a tendency to say things are not supported which have >not been tested and/or are not part of our testig suites. In this case, I would say manually applying online redo log files is not >supported, mostly because it isn't tested as part of the standby database test suites, and there is a high possibility of user error.
