automatic switchover??

[Joe Testa]

I'm heading to a data guard meeting in a couple of days, have 
implemented it a few times and the DBAs have always been anal enough to 
NOT want automatic switchover to standby server, they wanted to control 
it.  All said and good, new client(damagement) wants the switchover to 
happen automagically.  I've been trying to find it anywhere but it 
always seems that someone must type the "alter database commit to 
switchover to standby" on primary and after success, 'alter database 
commit to switchover to primary' on the original standby.

I know DG broker handles the applying of logs, etc but i dont see an 
option to make those commands to switchover automatically happen, i'm 
thinking its that way ON PURPOSE or am i missing something here?

thanks, joe
