FastStartFailoverTarget

The FastStartFailoverTarget configuration property specifies the DB_UNIQUE_NAME of one or more standby databases that can act as target databases in a fast-start failover situation when the database on which the property is set is the primary database.

These possible target databases are referred to as candidate fast-start failover targets. See Task 2 in Enabling Fast-Start Failover for more information about setting this property.

The FastStartFailoverTarget configuration property can only be set to the name of physical or logical standbys. It cannot be set to the name of a snapshot standby database, far sync instance, or Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance.

Category	Description
Datatype	String
Valid value	DB_UNIQUE_NAME of the database that is the target of the fast-start failover. You can specify names of multiple standbys or the keyword ANY. If multiple names are specified, then the broker selects them in the order in which they are listed. If the property is set to ANY, then the broker can select any one of all viable standbys of the primary as the current FSFO target.
Broker default	If only one physical or logical standby database exists, then the broker selects that as the default value for this property on the primary database when fast-start failover is enabled. If more than one physical or logical standby database exists, then the broker selects one based on the order in which they are specified in the property definition. Targets are verified when fast-start failover is enabled. For the target standby database, the broker automatically selects the current primary database as the value for this property when fast-start failover is enabled.
