ORA-16613: initialization in progress for database

getting the error ORA-16613 when trying to create DGMGRL configuration

DGMGRL> create configuration test_dg as primary database is 'testp' connect identifier is 'testp';
Error:
ORA-16613: initialization in progress for database

DGMGRL>

In this case the message is right. Do not work at the speed of the light. Let oracle start the processes and wait for a bit. After a minute it should be okay.
