Core dump when starting extract, no error messages

Question

Hello,
This is a basic one way replication, Data Pump and Replicat start but Extract stops at once.
In ggserr.log there's only a message: EXTRACT EORATE02 starting, nothing else. In ggsci it can be seen that it's stopped.
CHECKPARAMS didn't give the message "Parameters processed successfully", neither did it give error messages
when starting the extract.
There are no old Oracle processes which could prevent Extract from starting.
There's EORATE02.pce in dirpcs, although EORATE02 is not running. If I delete it and try to start the extract,
the extract will immediately stop.
A core file has been created in GG_HOME when trying to start the extract. I haven't been able to find out how to read it.
Source and target are on Aix 6100-06. The source database is Oracle 10.1.0.5, target database is Oracle 11.2.0.3.
The installation files are V32435-01.zip for db 10.1.0.5 (ggs_AIX_ppc_ora10.1_64bit.tar), V32437-01.zip
for db 11.2.0.3 (ggs_AIX_ppc_ora11g_64bit.tar). This is GoldenGate 11.2.1.0.1.
The db:s are on Asm.
There's only 1 table in source, 1 in target, they are identical and empty.
There's enough space in the OS.
If I run the extract in OS (extract paramfile dirprm/eorate02.prm), it ends like this without more information:
TRANLOGOPTIONS ASMUSER ggs_owner@HOSTNAME:1521/+ASM , ASMPASSWORD *********
Abort(coredump)
This happens in both ways of extract described below.
(1)
EXTRACT EORATE02
USERID ggs_owner, PASSWORD [PASSWORD]
EXTTRAIL ./dirdat/data02/te
TRANLOGOPTIONS ASMUSER ggs_owner@HOSTNAME:1521/+ASM , ASMPASSWORD [PASSWORD]

(2)
EXTRACT EORATE02
USERID ggs_owner, PASSWORD [PASSWORD]
EXTTRAIL ./dirdat/data02/te

TRANLOGOPTIONS ASMUSER ggs_owner@HOSTNAME:1521/+ASM , ASMPASSWORD [PASSWORD]
TABLE USER.myobjects2;
Here's more information on this setup and commands which have been used:

Answer 1

Hello,
Could you wrap your process definitions in proper code brackets so its easier to understand.
Also I'm not sure what your problem is other then you are receiving core dumps. I'm happy to help.
Two small comment though regarding your ASM config
1 . Dont not use ggs_owner as the asm user
TRANLOGOPTIONS ASMUSER ggs_owner@HOSTNAME:1521/+ASM , ASMPASSWORD *********2. Create a TNSNAMES entry for your ASM instance and tehn use the following:
TRANLOGOPTIONS ASMUSER SYS@ASM, ASMPASSWORD *****Also here is an example of an extract process that I've setup on RAC database with ASM
EXTRACT EWFMMTLP
EXTTRAIL ./dirdat/ew
USERID GGATE@MY_DB, PASSWORD ggatehcc
DDLOPTIONS ADDTRANDATA RETRYOP RETRYDELAY 20 MAXRETRIES 5 REPORT
TRANLOGOPTIONS EXCLUDEUSER ggate
TRANLOGOPTIONS ASMUSER SYS@ASM, ASMPASSWORD ****
TRANLOGOPTIONS ALTARCHIVELOGDEST /u02/oracle/fast_recovery_area/MY_DB/archivelog
TRANLOGOPTIONS PURGEORPHANEDTRANSACTIONS
STATOPTIONS RESETREPORTSTATS
REPORT AT 00:01
REPORTROLLOVER AT 00:01
REPORTCOUNT EVERY 60 SECONDS, RATELet me know if that helps
