Data Guard Summary problem using Grid Control.

Question

I setup data guard using Grid Control and after completion, the console of the standby database shows: "Unable to determine Data Guard information." under the Data Guard Summary section. The primary database is not showing the standby. I'm using Red Hat Linux Server 5.7 (64bit) and Oracle 10.2.0.5. This is a standalone (no RAC or ASM involved). When I run show configuration, the following comes up:
DGMGRL> SHOW CONFIGURATION;
Configuration
Name: PRODDB_ghph@ora01
Enabled: YES
Protection Mode: MaxPerformance
Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED
Databases:
ghph - Primary database
gsbh - Physical standby database (disabled)
Current status for "PRODDB_ghph@ora01":
SUCCESS
I tried searching online and metalink but nothing. Any help in solving this problem would be appreciated. TIA

4 rows selected.Currently standby is waiting for the sequence *58673* but the later on archives of series 60353... are already archived.
Can you confirm that only archive sequence * 58673* is missing or any more? If you have less number of archives are missing then see how the parameters you configured. like FAL_SERVER, LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG, LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n so on.
Check below command and see any errors with remote destinations
select severity,error_code,to_char(timestamp,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') "timestamp" , message from v$dataguard_status where dest_id=2;Source: http://www.oracle-ckpt.com/dataguard_troubleshoot_snapper/
If the archives are missing so many and you do not have backup, then certainly you have to choose incremental roll forward to synchronize the primary database, then only you can see the configuration status of Broker as valid. You can refer this article to perform incremental roll forward http://www.oracle-ckpt.com/rman-incremental-backups-to-roll-forward-a-physical-standby-database-2/
