Capture stuck at one archive file

Question

I have set up a 1-to-1 one-way streams replication in Oracle 10.2. (schema level capture).
Source DB (SRC)& destination DB (DEST) on : SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2 (ia64)
The capture, propagation and apply did run okay for few hours. Now I find that the capture is stuck at a particular archive file and not moving further. I also registered the archives manually using:
alter database register or replace logical logfile ....
This also has not helped.
Please help. Thanks.

Answer 1

We suppose that you have already tried to stop/start the capture.
Creating LCR is an Internal Streams action which cannot be impeded by any form of data locking. So you are facing a database resource constraints (library cache lock on a streams structure) or an archive log corruption, usually after a file system full with 2 destination registered and you retook the archive which was on the file system full(I already met this once).
Run this to check you don't have any library cache lock:

/If you pick nothing, then I suggest to put all working session on trace 10046.
This query list all the sessions associated to capture activity and their type.
Run this several time to see if one of the session is advancing and set it into trace.

/Once you have the trace there should be an SQL witch is circling, that's would be a starting point.
