I have a Primary and a standby DB on the same node on win 2000.
When I put my standby on managed mode , it does not recover automatically .

My settings on PRIMARY are

log_archive_start = true
log_archive_dest_1 = "location=C:\oracle\oradata\local\archive"
log_archive_format = %t_%s.ARC

and on SECONDARY are

log_archive_start = true
log_archive_dest_1 = "location=C:\oracle\oradata\local\archive"
log_archive_format = %t_%s.ARC
standby_archive_dest= "C:\oracle\oradata\test\stbyarch"

What am I doing wrong that the satndby database does not recover automatically .

Thanks for any help ..
