ORA-16191: Primary log shipping client not logged on standby
Error 16191 for archive log file 1 to 'PRODDB_REPL'
Cause:
Problems seems to be in password file mismatch in Primary and Standby Server.
Solution:
1. Disable the DG broker service.
alter system set dg_broker_start =false
alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2=defer;
-- Manually start for debugging
alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2=enable;
2. Steps to copy the password file from primary to Standby.
Check configuration of RAC environment with SRVCTL command.

srvctl config database -d PRODDB

Check for Standby Database
-- At Standby
srvctl config database -d DRDB

3. Copy the ASM Password file from Primary to local disk.
pwcopy D+DG_1/PRODB/PASSWORD/pwdPRODB.455.982492525 /tmp/primary_passwd
4. SCP the file from primary to standby.
copy /tmp/primary_passwd to standby side
5. Remove current password file from Standby Server present at ASM location.
pwdelete +DG_1/DRDB
6. Copy the primary password file to Standby ASM location.
pwcopy /tmp/primary_passwd +DG_1/DRDB/PASSWORD/pwdDRDB
7. Modify the Setting with SRVCLT
srvctl modify database DRDB -pwfile +DG_1/DRDB/PASSWORD/pwdDRDB
8. Check the Standby and start the recovery process.
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
9. Enable the DB Services by stop manually process of apply.
