^Footnote 1

Although this property is set for the redo destination, it is indirectly related to the redo transport services for the database or far sync instance that is sending redo data. The broker propagates the setting you specify to the corresponding attributes of the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n value of the database or far sync instance that is sending redo data.
