Indicates the root file specification for either the master or standby database where you want to start database replication. NOTE Do not include a node name when you specify the database- rootfile parameter. This parameter must specify a locally accessible database root file; the parameter cannot include a remote file specification. The following list describes which database root file to specify depending on where you enter the command: o When you enter the command, Replicate After_Journal Start on the standby node, specify the database root file for the Standby database. o When you enter the command, Replicate After_Journal Start on the master node, specify the database root file for the Master database. To ensure that the standby database accesses the correct master database as the source of replication operations, include the Master_Root qualifier on the command line. Similarly, to ensure that the master database accesses the correct standby database as the target of replication operations, include the Standby_Root qualifier on the command line. Reference: See the Master_Root and Standby_Root qualifiers discussed in this Help topic.
