LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT converts the filename of a new log file on the primary database to the filename of a log file on the standby database. If you add a log file to the primary database, you must add a corresponding file to the standby database.

When the standby database is updated, this parameter converts the log file name on the primary database to the log file name on the standby database. The file must exist on the standby database and must be writable or the recovery process will halt with an error.

Set the value of this parameter to two strings. The first string is the pattern found in the log file names on the primary database. The second string is the pattern found in the log file names on the standby database. 

You should also use LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT to rename the logfiles in the clone controlfile when setting up the clone database during tablespace point-in-time recovery.
