You have a Data Guard Broker configuration called 'Somewhere' as shown: DGMGRL> SHOW CONFIGURATION; Configuration - Somewhere Protection Mode…

The SHOW DATABASE ... 'InconsistentProperties' command in DGMGRL is a diagnostic tool. It compares the property settings stored in the Data Guard broker configuration file against the current values in the database's server parameter file (SPFILE) or the running instance's memory. This check is performed for the specific database named in the command ('Nearby'). For Oracle RAC databases, any reported inconsistencies are shown on a per-instance basis, making the report instance-specific. The command does not compare properties between different databases in the configuration.

A: A far sync instance is managed by the broker and has configurable properties. It can have inconsistent properties if its settings differ from the broker configuration. B: This command does not compare properties between two different databases (e.g., 'Nearby' and 'Farout'); it checks for internal consistency within a single database's configuration.

1. Oracle Database 19c, Data Guard Broker, Chapter 4, "SHOW DATABASE". The documentation states, "The InconsistentProperties property shows any properties whose values are not consistent between the broker and the database... For an Oracle RAC database, the broker displays any instance-specific properties that have inconsistent values."
