Yes , you can perform read only operations on a DB2 standby database.

Refer to the link

SAP itself does not provide read-only access in the manner you require, because the functionality is very dependent on exactly what DBMS you are using and how it is installed.  It is DB/2 Functionality, not SAP functionality, and is configured in DB/2, as specified in the Enabling reads on standby link on the page given by Former Member above.

I would also like to stress the fact that an SAP workprocesses can connect to a single database during startup and cannot connect to multiple databases for business transactions at a time. The SAP Database is a single point of failure for an SAP system. You can create multiple database connections from the DBACOCKPIT to monitor remote databases and again this is an external connection. But again I am not sure if dbacockpit can connect to standby remote database. So the way you want to use the primary and standby database , logically does not stand atleast for DB2 LUW flavour.

You can setup read only on standby and use sql to query tables to view business data.

There is a link to setting up the read only standby database.
