Solution:

In order to solve this problem, add the parameter ALLOWOUTPUTDIR in the target system GLOBALS file.

The ALLOWOUTPUTDIR parameter was introduced in Oracle GoldenGate 12.2

Go to TARGET side and add “ALLOWOUTPUTDIR /migrate/target/GG” to GLOBALS file because we are not using “dirdat” (12.2 new feature)

ALLOWOUTPUTDIR /migrate/target/GG
