Oracle Error Message
ORA-16795: the standby database needs to be re-created
Reason for the Error
A switchover or failover operation caused this database to require re-creation. The database was marked for re-creation because it was not a viable standby database for the new primary database. Until this error status is resolved for this database, information about this database and the broker configuration to which it belongs is unavailable to a broker client that is connected to this database. Therefore, all commands directed by that client to this database cannot be completed.
Solution
Re-create (or flash back) the standby database. Connect to the primary database in the broker configuration and reenable broker management of that database. Once enabled, it is possible to connect to that standby database and manage it with the broker. Alternatively, many client commands that cannot be completed at the standby database when in this error state can be completed successfully when issued to the primary database. In this case, simply reconnect to the primary database and retry the command.
