Thanks for sharing the script.
We need to know first if data server is with database in standup mode or not. Maybe is in primary mode after switch…
Am I right?
Thanks

Dear SandeepSingh DBA
Thanks for your answer but you need to know where standby is to start that script… imagine that you implement that start script via Window Task Scheduler in a server that became primary?
Thanks

Yes thanks for update, you can put one check in between this script which let you check before firing command that database server is Standby or Primary. By using this statement:
select database_role from v$database;

Before open the databases, you need to know which is PRIMARY and STANDBY to run the STARTUP or STARTUP MOUNT command.
So, you can’t run any command…

Dear SandeepSingh DBA,
On primary is not a problem, you check witch is primary after mount mode and then “alter database open;”
The problem is on standby. You mount standby and then, what you will do to set as standby?
> ALTER DATABASE MOUNT STANDBY DATABASE; (you need this to knowledge by observer)
> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
