Goal
In physical standby dataguard environment, the V$DATABASE.STANDBY_BECAME_PRIMARY_SCN can be used to find the SCN at which physical Standby database became Primary database during role transition.
The new primary (former physical standby) will perform further transactions from this SCN onwards.
This is more difficult in a logical standby dataguard environment because the SCN of logical standby, by design, will not be same as the primary.
It may be necessary to determine the start SCN of a new primary (former logical standby) from where further transactions will be initiated
An SCN after failover, for example, may be needed to reinstate a new standby database.
In addition, Golden Gate may need details for where to start from the new primary (former Logical Standby).
