Dbvisit stops working when NFS mount is not accessible

Follow

Read our docs Dbvisit stops working when the NFS mount is not accessible. Even though you might not be using NFS location in DDC file this can still affect the Dbvisit functioning. Dbvisit uses the Fuser command to ensures that not other process is using the archive logs before transfer(on primary) and apply (on standby). This command will hang if any NFS drive is inaccessible.
