dgmgrl- Dataguard Broker Command Hanging for Forever

Issue:- When ever I try to run any DGMGRL command it simply hangs. After waiting a long time I get time out message.

Solution;

Restart the Broker Process in both Primary and Standby Database

SQL> alter system set dg_broker_start=false sid='*';
System altered.
SQL> alter system set dg_broker_start=true sid='*';
System altered.

Even If the restarting the broker processes does not solve the issue then you need to re-create the broker configuration.

Follow Steps described here to re-create the broker configuration
