Hello Engineers,
I am facing an issue with the manual failover of the standby to the master role. I was able to promote the standby and got it out of recovery mode. How do I direct applications to point to the standby which has assumed the role of the current master,

A typical solution is a separate service which manages a virtual IP that points to whichever DB server you choose.
 
and what should I do after completing maintenance on the previous master to assume its original role as master? 

pg_basebackup is guaranteed to get previous-master in sync with now-active.  pg_rewind might also work.
