The FAL_CLIENT database initialization parameter is no longer required

New 11.2 Features Common to Redo Apply and SQL Apply

As of Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2), Oracle Data Guard is fully integrated with Oracle Real Application Clusters One Node (Oracle RAC One Node).
A Data Guard configuration can now consist of a primary database and up to 30 standby databases.
The FAL_CLIENT database initialization parameter is no longer required.
The default archive destination used by the Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) feature and the fast recovery area feature has changed from LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_10 to LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1.
Redo transport compression is no longer limited to compressing redo data only when a redo gap is being resolved. When compression is enabled for a destination, all redo data sent to that destination is compressed.
The new ALTER SYSTEM FLUSH REDO SQL statement can be used at failover time to flush unsent redo from a mounted primary database to a standby database, thereby allowing a zero data loss failover to be performed even if the primary database is not running in a zero data loss data protection mode. See Section 8.2.2 for more information.
