| ERROR | current state is invalid for the attempted operation |
| CAUSE | The broker may have returned this error for either switchover operations or for database state change operations. If this error was returned for a switchover operation, the broker determined that either: - The databases changing roles are shut down. - The primary database is not shipping redo data. - The standby database that will become the primary database is not applying redo data. If this error was returned for database state change operations, the database state specified was invalid. |
| ACTION | If this error is returned when attempting a switchover operation, make sure that: - The databases changing roles are started. - The primary database is shipping redo data. - The standby database is applying redo data. If this error is returned when attempting a database state change operation, make sure a valid database state is specified. |
