Ogg-01184 Expected 4 Bytes But Got 0 Bytes In Trail Direct
If only the very end of the file is corrupted, you may be able to skip the current trail and start from the next sequence number: ALTER EXTRACT , EXTSEQNO , EXTRBA 0
to allow it to fully re-transmit the file cleanly: GGSCI> START EXTRACT Use code with caution.
If the error is constant and occurred after an upgrade, check your FORMAT RELEASE settings:
If the file system hosting the GoldenGate trail files ( dirdat directory) runs out of space, GoldenGate cannot complete writing the current record block. It writes a partial record header but 0 bytes of the expected trailing data. 4. GoldenGate Version Mismatches ogg-01184 expected 4 bytes but got 0 bytes in trail
| Scenario | Recommended Action | | :--- | :--- | | | Perform a Forward Checkpoint Repositioning (see below). | | Count command failed | Perform a Clean Trail Rollover (see below). If the issue persists, escalate to Oracle Support. |
Always use the STOP command in GGSCI rather than killing OS processes.
If the file size on disk is the RBA mentioned in the error message, the file is physically truncated. 3. Check for Paired Errors Often, OGG-01184 is accompanied by companion errors like: If only the very end of the file
If you get "Failed to read header" or "4 bytes expected", the file is truncated at that position.
Reposition the process: ALTER , RBA .
Oracle GoldenGate writes transactional data into structured files known as . Each database operation captured by the Extract process is formatted into a logical record within these files. If the issue persists, escalate to Oracle Support
CHKSFILES CHKPOINTWAL
If the disk was full at the time of writing, the trail file may be truncated. Look for files with odd sizes.
A: RBA stands for Relative Byte Address. It’s the specific position (a byte offset) inside the trail file where GoldenGate was reading when it encountered the problem. You can use this number with the logdump tool to pinpoint the exact location of the corruption.
