HI experts ,
I have one data guard setup , where both primary and standby went through so many incarnation in the past . so while I am checking the data guard sync status the max(sequence#) from v$archive_log showing hight value but archive log list showing very low number (But actually they are in sync)
Here is the details
----------------------------------------on primary---------------------------
