When an error occurs at the data replication level, the error is reflected in the status of the resource in the replication resource group of the relevant the Oracle Data Guard Broker configuration.
For example, suppose that Oracle Data Guard Broker configuration sales-pg, which contains the replicated database sales, is changed from protection mode MaxAvailability to MaxPerformance. The state changes for FAULTED are reflected in the following resource status:
Resource Status = "FAULTED" Resource status message = "FAULTED - Protection mode "MaxAvailability" given for local database sales does not match configured value "MaxPerformance""
Because the resource status has changed, the protection group status also changes. In this case, the local Data Replication state, the Protection Group state on the local cluster, and the overall Protection Group state all become Error.
To recover from an error state, perform the following procedure.
