The Oracle Data Guard broker consists of background processes, foreground processes, and the system global area (SGA). The background and foreground processes are non-fatal processes that exist as long as the instance exists, whenever this parameter is set to true.

If the database is never going to be configured in an Oracle Data Guard broker configuration, then you can leave this parameter unspecified and accept the default value of false. If the database is part of an Oracle Data Guard broker configuration, then you can simplify automatic startup of the broker by setting this parameter to true in the initialization parameter file.
