The ACTIVATION# and ARCHIVAL_THREAD# columns are apparently used by Data
Guard "fetch archive log" (FAL) processes to manage any logfile transfer
gaps using the FAL_CLIENT and FAL_SERVER parameters on the primary and
standby databases. Metalink note #150214.1 ("Synchronization of primary and
standby database due to log transfer gap") mentions the values in these
columns, though not the column names themselves.
