We have a goldengate setup wherein 3 different GoldenGate clients connects and replicat to one target database.Below are the versions being currently used 11.1.1.1, 11.2.1.0.0 and 11.2.1.0.3.
The version 11.2.1.0.3 was recently added, and below are the steps performed
GGSCI (myhost) 2> obey ./dirprm/add_rep.oby GGSCI (myhost) 3> GGSCI (myhost) 3> DBLOGIN USERID ggate@test PASSWORD 'xxxxxxxx' ERROR: Unable to connect to database using user ggate@test. Please check privileges. ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred. GGSCI (myhost) 4> GGSCI (myhost) 4> ADD REPLICAT rep, extTrail /app/trail/rep/rp, checkpointTable ggate.OGG_CHECKPOINT REPLICAT added.
dblogin failed but then the replicat got added. Now what happens if we try to delete it
GGSCI (myhost) 5> delete replicat rep ERROR: Could not delete DB checkpoint for REPLICAT rep (Database login required to delete database checkpoint). GGSCI (host) 6> info all Program Status Group Lag at Chkpt Time Since Chkpt MANAGER RUNNING EXTRACT RUNNING ext 00:00:00 00:00:05 REPLICAT STOPPED rep 00:00:00 00:00:38
So, now what can be done to delete it. Its simple,

Once the port issue was resolved, added the replicat “rep” again successfully.

Why is the status ‘STOPPED’? ggserr.log shows

Though we have added and started REP, we don’t see any row for it in checkpoint table. Lets try to run upgrade checkpointtable command
