Re: postgres replication without pg_basebackup? postgres 13.3

[postgres@gacsdb05 data-13.3]$ pg_rewind -c -R --target-pgdata=/PostgresDB/sas_hdd/data-13.3/  --source-server="host=XXXX port=XXXX user=postgres password=XXX" 

pg_rewind: source and target cluster are on the same timeline

pg_rewind: no rewind required

but then we got the following error:

We have read we can run pg_resetwal but the Wal folder is the folder where the Wals are archived in the primary. Would that be correct to reset them?

Any suggestion?

Thank you so much,
