Hi Howard,

Not certain on why my current site doesn't use the broker as it was all implemented before I got there although I 'think' it's a combination of reasons: bugs, extra layer of control between DBA, preference for manual control, need for an spfile ... ;)

It's not particularly "brave" as the procedures for a switchover are well documented internally and well practiced. And they work as we've had need to perform such a switchover "for real" on a number of memorable occasions.

Now that you've expanded your comment to mean the DG broker, I now understand where you were coming from.

Cheers
