ORA-16629: database reports a different protection level from the protection mode

Issue:

After completing the reinstate process, I checked my configuration. It throws me a warning message with ORA-16629.

DGMGRL> reinstate  database 'BHU_A';

Reinstating database "BHU_A", please wait...

Reinstatement of database "BHU_A" succeeded

DGMGRL> show configuration;

Configuration - DG_BHU

  Protection Mode: MaxAvailability

  Databases:

    BHU_B - Primary database

      Warning: ORA-16629: database reports a different protection level from the protection mode

    BHU_A - Physical standby database

TO CHECK THE COMPLETE DETAILS OF THE DATABASE

DGMGRL> show database verbose 'BHU_B';

SOLUTION:

Since I am running in the MAX AVAILABILITY, I tried to check the following parameter on the primary site

DGMGRL> show database verbose 'BHU_B';

Database - BHU_B

  Role:            PRIMARY

  Intended State:  TRANSPORT-ON

  Instance(s):

    BHU_1

    BHU_2

  Properties:

    DGConnectIdentifier             = 'BHU_B_DG'

    ObserverConnectIdentifier       = ''

    LogXptMode                      = 'SYNC'

.

.

   (*) - Please check specific instance for the property value

Database Status:

you can see the difference in the parameter log_archive_dest_2 of each instance.

Node#1
check log_archive_dest_2 or check destination, where archive shipping is enable

Node#2
check log_archive_dest_2 or check destination, where archive shipping is enable

I tried to Re-Apply or change the protection mode to max availability on the primary database.

DGMGRL> EDIT CONFIGURATION SET PROTECTION MODE AS MAXAVAILABILITY;

Succeeded.

DGMGRL> show configuration;
