Terminate a Data Guard Group

This topic describes how to terminate a Data Guard Group.

Before you begin, review the following:

• You can terminate a Data Guard Group by terminating all of its standby databases.

• Terminate the standby database before terminating the primary database. When you terminate the standby database, the associated Data Guard Group is automatically removed.

• If you attempt to terminate the primary database while a standby database is still associated with it, the terminate operation does not complete.

• Alternatively, you can perform a switchover to transition the standby database to the primary role and then terminate the former primary database.

Procedure

1. On the Data Infrastructures list page, select the Data Infrastructure that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the Data Infrastructure, see List Data Infrastructures.
