Re: Create standby with OEM failing

1. Take a backup with the standby controlfile
   • in our case, we had to physically ship the backup over to the standby site
2. Restore the standby and mount it (don't bother with recovery unless this process takes days)
3. Discover the standby in OEM
4. Configure Data Guard in OEM with the "using existing physical standby" option

OEM will take care of the configuration including the broker and then your standby should catch up eventually.
