ERROR

-- Steps To Reproduce:
This Issue can be reproduced at will with the following Steps:

Remove the Data Guard Broker Configuration while Fast Start Failover is enabled.

1. Set up a Fast Start Failover Configuration and ensure FS_FAILOVER_STATUS is SYNCHRONIZED.

2. Place the Standby Database into READ ONLY Mode and shutdown the Standby Listener.

3. Perform a DML load on the Primary until FS_FAILOVER_STATUS becomes UNSYNCHRONIZED

4. Once the UNSYNCHRONISED State can be seen in the Primary site, kill the DMON-Process and remove the DG Broker Configuration Files.

5. DMON will restart but the FS_FAILOVER_STATUS will remain UNSYNCHRONISED.

6. At this Point the Creation of a new Data Guard Broker Configuration fails when attempting to edit the
configuration Property LogXptMode and set it to SYNC.

-- Business Impact:
The Issue has the following Business Impact:

Due to this Issue, the Data Guard Broker Configuration cannot be re-enabled and the Standby Database is
no longer protected by the Data Guard Broker and the Observer. So Fast-Start Failover is not possible at this Stage.
