The SID name in the config file is absent, incorrectly spelled or is in the wrong case.
Examine the first line of the config file located in $SP_SYS_VARDIR/config directory that has the datasource entry in the following format:
datasource:o.SID (where SID represents the Oracle SID of the source database)
Check for any errors with respect to the spelling of the SID name (also termed as datasource in Shareplex terminology).
Check for the absence of such entry altogether.
Check to make sure the case (upper/lower) is the same as in ORACLE_SID and as in the oratab file.
Make corrections as appropriate. Once corrected, activate the config once again.
