Possible invalid cross-instance archival configuration
ORA-16146: standby destination control file enqueue unavailable
thanks
selva..

Answer 1

If you user this then a lot of information ( threads) can be found with the same problem.
Anyway the original ORA-message/solution is:
Error:     ORA-16146 (ORA-16146)
Text:     standby destination control file enqueue unavailable
Cause:     The target standby destination control file is currently
     unavailable to the Remote File Server (RFS) process. This
     indicates that the target destination is the primary database
     itself.
Action:     Check for and eliminate the standby destination archive log
     parameter in question.
This means you have an error in the log_archive_dest entries on the standby server.
Can you use Dataguard Manager (dgmgrl) to verify the configuration?
Edit:
Our Dataguard config e.g. has on primary:
log_archive_config='dg_config=(STDBY)'
On the standby it is:
log_archive_config='dg_config=(PRIMARY)'
