ERROR OGG-01705 Input checkpoint position for input trail file is greater than the size of the file

Pump, Extract or Replicat may get stuck on a trail file even if there are more trail files available in machine for the reader object to process. This issue occurs when the pump extract / Replicat read checkpoint RBA is larger than the local trail file size that it reads.

Here my Replicat got abended with the following error message …….

ERROR   OGG-01705  Input checkpoint position 33144618 for input trail file './dirdat/c4001256' is greater than the size of the file (33079717).  Please consult Oracle Knowledge Management Doc ID 1138409.1. for instructions.

Now let’s check the trail file size…………

 [oracle@oracledev01 GG11]$ ls -l dirdat/c4001256

-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 33079717 Feb 22 11:48 dirdat/c4001256

From above we can see that RBA is greater than the trail file size

FILTERDUPTRANSACTIONS

When using this option to start the replicat, it will use the information already stored in the checkpoint table and filter out transactions already applied.

This option is valid only for Replicat in nonintegrated mode. Integrated mode handles duplicate transactions transparently.

From the above we can see my replicat has moved on to the next trail file “c4001257” and it is up and running fine J
