Oracle Error Message
ORA-16572: Data Guard configuration file not found
Reason for the Error
The Data Guard broker configuration file was either unavailable or did not exist.
Solution
Verify that the configuration file was successfully created. If the DG_BROKER_CONFIG_FILE[1|2] initialization parameters were changed, ensure the file name on disk and the parameter value match, there is space on the device, and the proper permissions are granted. For a RAC database, ensure that these initialization parameters are set to file locations that are shared by all instances of the RAC database.
