Extract process on MySQL server on Linux

Question

Hello,
I'm trying to start an extract process to replicate my MySQL db to an Oracle instance.
The MySQL server is on a Linux x64 machine connected trhough a SSH tunnel (port 7809 and 7840 forwarded) with the Oracle machine (Linux x64).
First of all, the error I get (this is the report for my extract myext):

I don't know what I'm missing here, since I've granted the right permission to the replicator user.
Some additional info:
*** myext.prm: ***
extract myext
dboptions host 127.0.0.1, connectionport 3306
sourcedb [email protected]:3306, userid replicator, password [...]
tranlogoptions altlogdest /var/log/mysql
rmthost 127.0.0.1, mgrport 7809 <== works through ssh tunnel
rmttrail /home/replication/goldengate/dirdat/my
table repl_test.test;
*** mgr.prm ***
port 7800
sourcedb [email protected]:3306, userid root, password [...]
*** mysql my.cnf (in /etc/mysql)***
server-id = 3
log_bin = /var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.log
log-bin-index = /var/log/mysql/master-log-bin.index
It's not a credential related problem and nothing changes if I move the bin log files somewhere else.
Any idea?
I'm really stuck on this.
Thanks,
K.

Answer 1

It's the actual value, since 7809 on localhost is mapped for the ssh tunnel, so I had to choose another for the local manager.
As for the login, yes, I can successfully connect via DBLOGIN trhough ggsci (DBLOGIN sourcedb [email protected]:3306, userid replicator, password [...]).
