SOLUTION

We can fix the problem by following the steps below.

Step1:

Since the TNS problem appears, it is first checked whether the TNSNAMES.ora and Listener.ora files are working. Test access to Standby from Physical database with sqlplus. As you can see below, only one database connection is seen.

Step2:

Try tnsping. As you can see below, only one database connection is seen.

Step3:

Check Listener on all DBs in configurations. We have seen that there is something odd only in the Primary database “Physical”.

Step4:

In this case, I suspect that the Primary database was opened in RESTRICT mode. We do the necessary checks.

Step5:

Disable RESTRICT mode.

Step6:

Check listener again.

Step7:

Check the configuration status.
