Hello,

My oracle environment is DataGuard 11.2.0.1.0 on physical standby,when i use SQL query below,

SYS@standby> col current_scn for 9999999999999999

SYS@standby> select scn_to_timestamp(current_scn) from v$database;

select scn_to_timestamp(current_scn) from v$database

       *

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-08181: specified number is not a valid system change number

ORA-06512: at "SYS.SCN_TO_TIMESTAMP", line 1

and if not using function 'scn_to_timestamp' is OK,

SYS@standby> select current_scn from v$database;

            CURRENT_SCN

-----------------------

            12204021200
