I would say FAL_SERVER=primary_role_database FAL_CLIENT=standby_role_database no matter the function the database fulfills and possibly fal_server is actually "ignored" on primary, and fal_client is "ignored" on standby So one needs to change values of those parameters after a switchover W dniu 17.01.2012 10:40, Kamus pisze: > Hi lists > > Maybe this is the question you do not think it should be the question. > > > for FAL_SERVER and FAL_CLIENT parameter in Data Guard (PRIMARY and STANDBY): > > 1.
