See Oracle Data Guard Concepts and Administration for more information about the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter.

To set up transport of redo data to the specified destination, the broker uses the values specified for this parameter to define a LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameter on the primary database. The broker also monitors the health of the transport to the specified destination.

After a role change, the broker automatically sets up a LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameter on the new primary database to ship redo data to the specified destination.

Note:

The ExternalDestination1 property requires that the database unique name (DB_UNIQUE_NAME) be specified.

Note:

The Externaldestination1 configuration property is available only in Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.4) and in Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.2) and later.
