Primary database:-

SQL> select name,open_mode,database_role from v$database;

===================================================================
Standby database:-

SQL> select name,open_mode,database_role from v$database;

--------- -------------------- ----------------
DBWR MOUNTED PHYSICAL STANDBY
=====================================================================
Precheck for Switchover:- (PRIMARY SIDE)

Before performing switchover, kindly verify the state of data guard on both the
instances by following SQL queries:

Step 2:-

SQL> ALTER SESSION SET nls_date_format='DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS';

Session altered.
SQL> SELECT sequence#, first_time, next_time, applied FROM v$archived_log ORDER BY
sequence#;

SWITCHOVER_STATUS
--------------------
TO STANDBY
Not Allowed:-Either this is a standby database and the primary database has not
been switched first, or this is a primary database and there are no standby
databases
Session Active:- Indicates that there are active SQL sessions attached to the
primary or standby database that need to be disconnected before the switchover
operation is permitted
Switchover Pending:- This is a standby database and the primary database switchover
request has been received but not processed.
Switchover Latent:- The switchover was in pending mode, but did not complete and
went back to the primary database
To Primary:- This is a standby database, with no active sessions, that is allowed
to switch over to a primary database
To Standby:- This is a primary database, with no active sessions, that is allowed
to switch over to a standby database
Recovery Needed:- This is a standby database that has not received the switchover
request

On Primary database:-

Step 4:

SQL> alter database commit to switchover to standby;

Database altered.
