Question : FAL: Can’t identify FAL client, null string supplied
Our standby database is failing to apply the supplied log files and reports the following error in the standby error log
Failed to request gap sequence. Thread #: 1, gap sequence: 1861-1861
I find the following error in the primary server error log:
FAL: Can’t identify FAL client, null string supplied
Thread 1, gap sequence 1861-1861
Any ideas?
Solution: FAL: Can’t identify FAL client, null string supplied
Check your FAL_Client and FAL_Server settings in the init.ora files on the primary and standby database instances. They should be the same.
