Oracle Error Description
ORA-16573: attempt to change or access configuration file for an enabled broker configuration
Reason for the Error ORA-16573: attempt to change or access configuration file for an enabled broker configuration
The operation was rejected because the Data Guard broker configuration file was in use. The attempted operation was unsafe while broker management of the configuration was enabled. For example:
– An attempt was made to alter the DG_BROKER_CONFIG_FILE[1|2] initialization parameters while the broker was running.
– Non-broker access (such as DBMS_FILE_TRANSFER) to the configuration files was attempted. See the alert log for additional information.
How to fix the Error ORA-16573: attempt to change or access configuration file for an enabled broker configuration ?
You can fix this error in Oracle by following the below steps
Disable the broker configuration and shut down the Data Guard broker, then retry the operation. If the operation includes altering the DG_BROKER_CONFIG_FILE[1|2] initialization parameters, be sure that the new parameter values correctly specify the files at their expected location before reenabling broker management of the configuration.
