Switch the Standby Database to Primary Database
When you have a planned activity, such as maintenance, you can make the current standby database the primary database with zero data loss. A switchover is a planned event that's initiated on the primary database and completed on the standby database.
Log into a DGMGRL session on the primary database as the SYS user. In this example, the primary database is DBUKS_898_LHR and the standby database is DBUKS_R2J_AMS.
The standby database is now the primary database.
Switch Back to the Original Primary Database
After the planned activity, you can revert back to the original primary database with zero data loss.
