Database Error Messages

OCI-01665

control file is not a standby control file

Cause

An attempt was made to mount, recover, or activate either a standby multitenant container database (CDB) without a standby control file, or a pluggable database (PDB) that was not created as an Oracle Data Guard standby database.


Action

When the error is raised for an action against a CDB, create a standby control file before using the CDB as a standby database. When the error is raised for an action against a PDB, check and correct the PDB context so that it is only used against a PDB created as a standby database.
