Either the database is not yet mounted or the RAC instance in question is not yet running.
The problem is usually related to RAC database. Check and correct the conditions as illustrated below and see if this helps:
A. If the database is not yet mounted, mount it and then see if the Capture error goes away. Most likely the error condition should go away when the database is mounted.
B. The error can also happen when one or more of the RAC instances are not yet up. Bring all the instances up and see if Capture error goes away. Most likely the error condition should go away when all the RAC instances are up.
C. If an activation was also performed prior to seeing these errors, and if one or more of the RAC instances are not yet up when activation was being performed, then bring all the instances up and see if Capture error goes away.
If none of the A, B or C helps, then shutdown Shareplex on source and target, run ora_cleansp on these, resync the target and activate afresh. If the error still persists, then contact Support for further investigation.
