I have a simple 2 node standby setup. On my primary, I query v$archived_log for my secondary destination and it correctly shows the logs that have been archived and applied on the standby. However, the applied flag is not set for some logs, but the alert.log on the standby says it was applied.

Code:
  1  select sequence#, dest_id, archived, applied, completion_time
  2  from v$archived_log
  3  where dest_id = 2
  4  and sequence# > 36925
  5* order by sequence#
