Snapshot standby database conversion is getting stuck

Soumya Sundar DasJun 25 2025 — edited Jun 25 2025

Hi,

We are in process to configure dataguard between primary and standby database . Dataguard has been already configured and redo data is being synced from primary to standby without any problem. However we are facing one weird problem during conversion of our standby database into snapshot standby. We are using dgbroker to convert the physical standby to snapshot. The dgbroker configuration and other details related to each database are showing error free. But it gets stuck whenever try to convert into snapshot standby.

C:\Windows\system32>dgmgrl sys/password@orcl

DGMGRL> show configuration

Configuration - my_dg_config

Protection Mode: MaxPerformance
Members:
orcl - Primary database
orcldr - Physical standby database

Fast-Start Failover: Disabled

Configuration Status:
SUCCESS (status updated 36 seconds ago)
DGMGRL> convert database 'orcldr' to snapshot standby;
Converting database "orcldr" to a Snapshot Standby database, please wait...

Env details: Windows server 2022

DB version: Oracle 19.27

Alert log of standby db during conversion:-

Anyone faced such issue , or any help would be very helpful.
