Database Status:
DGM-17016: failed to retrieve status for database "ORCL_stdby"
ORA-16664: unable to receive the result from a member

Solution:

1. Makes sure you have Static listener entry has SID_DGMGRL

cat $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora

(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = ORCL_DGMGRL) <----------------add _DGMGRL
(ORACLE_HOME = /<oracle_home>)
(SID_NAME = ORCL)
)

2. Same way change the static entry of current primary also for feature role transition. For non-default port set the local listener on the respective database where ORA-12514 was thrown.

SQL>alter system set local_listener='(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<hostIP>)(PORT=port)))';
