It looks like the extract process can't connect to the database:

Verify the dblogin info in the prm file, include the "setenv" for ORACLE_SID, etc, in the prm file. Include the report file here, it's essential for troubleshooting this. Try in ggsci to run "dblogin", "list tables *", etc.

Unable to start extract(pump)
Hi all,
Iam unable to start extract. It failed with following error:

Please help.
Thanks,
SandyI don't understand the problem you have with the requirements to have the database connection specified in the parameter file. It's not a matter of debate. Write your own replication program/application if you don't like having to do this.
Include the following parameters plus any others that apply to your database environment.
-- Identify the data pump group:
EXTRACT <pump>
-- Specify database login information as needed for the database:
[SOURCEDB <dsn_1>,][USERID <user>[, PASSWORD <pw>]]

Start extract pump for the Intermediary system
Hi guyz,
I need to launch Intermediary system. I installed just GoldenGate soft on a separate server.
The architecture:
There is an extract on the 1st server, which copy trails to the Intermediary system to 2nd server. There is a replicat on 3rd server for recording to Oracle database.
I need just copy trails from 2nd server to 3rd server using GoldenGate.
I have an issue on 2nd server (Intermediary system) when I configuring an extract pump as it described in official docs (5.4.2 Intermediary System):

Same thing happens when i click restart.
No difference when i run it in Safe mode. And it won't let me create a new profile either. Is there anyway else i can extract my bookmarks? This is driving me crazy!Did the crash reporter send any crash reports?<br />
You can see the crash reports in this folder:
"C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports"
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad
See also [[Firefox crashes when you open it]]
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br /><br />
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]<br /><br />
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"<br /><br />
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br /><br />
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox<br /><br />
If that still causes the same problem then do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

How to add new table into running extract pump and replicat files
Hi all, i am very much confused how we should add a new table for replication into extract pump and replicat parameter files without stopping them manually? Is there any way where we can add them without disturbing functionality of OGG?
Experts help required on this
Thanks in advanceHi,
You can stop and restart the extract process after modifying the extract prm files. the current and last reading point details available checkpoint tables ,or it can get it from info command itself , so you can start the extract process at the point of particular RBA or SEQ no, but you make sure the retention period of your archive log files, because all the transactions are moved in to archive log location, so extract process will fetch the data from archive log also,
Documentation states:
If Extract abends when a long-running transaction is open, it can seem to take a long time
to recover when it is started again. To recover its processing state, Extract must search
back through the online and archived logs (if necessary) to find the first log record for that
long-running transaction. The farther back in time that the transaction started, the longer
the recovery takes, in general, and Extract can appear to be stalled.
Why archive logs?
GG reads online redo logs in default but when they are all switched, and for some reason in the meantime GG stopped (abended) it doesn't have the last transaction as transaction was in online log that switched. That is why you need archive logs, so that GG can reach this old transaction in archive log.
E.g you have two online logs, your transaction is at the begining of the first log. Extract abends. Transactions keep coming to database first online log switches to second, second switches to first and first again to second. You start GG but transaction you finished processing on is no longer in first online log. But it is in archive log.
What to do?
1) Start Oracle in archive log mode
2) Make sure you have available space for archive logs
GG will look into Oracle default location for archive logs when it abends and transaction is no longer in online log. -
GoldenGate Manager Does not start - Windows 7 64-bit, 11gR1 database
Hi Experts,
I ran into very tricky situation and seeking for clarification and if possible solution for the same, here how it goes: (This is a practice setup for my knowledge and not production)
My environement:
GGSCI (msheth-work) 18> versions
Operating System:
Version 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)
Database:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE 11.2.0.1.0 Production
TNS for 64-bit Windows: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
I have two database installed called gg1, gg2 on the same local system.
I have two goldengate installation at following location: C:\gg1 , C:\gg2
I was successfully able to start Manager, Extract and Replicate process with out creating windows services for manager.
I read in discussion forum that it is recommneded to have different manager name and create services for them if you have multiple Goldengate installation in the same system. (Oracle Golden Gate installation
Now when I create services using INSTALL ADDSERVICE ADDEVENTS, manager process does not start and manager report log and event viewer from windows shows following error despite of providing correct login details in manager parameter file:
2012-08-23 10:42:31 ERROR OGG-00664 Oracle GoldenGate Manager for Oracle, mgr.prm: OCI Error beginning session (status = 1017-ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied).
GGSCI (hostname) 19> DBLOGIN USERID ggs_owner, PASSWORD ggs_owner
Successfully logged into database.
Manager Parameter File:
PORT 7810
USERID ggs_owner, PASSWORD ggs_owner
PURGEOLDEXTRACTS C:\gg2\dirdat\ex, USECHECKPOINTS
Your explaination and help will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Mitul Sheth
Edited by: 954634 on Aug 23, 2012 11:46 AMThanks all of you to responding to my post, although I have bad news that I tried everything but it did not work. let me show you what all I have done:
1) Adding windows services for manager
GGSCI (msheth-work) 4> edit params ./globals
MGRSERVNAME MGR1
GGSCI (msheth-work) 5> exit
c:\gg1>install addservice addevents
Oracle GoldenGate messages installed successfully.
Service 'MGR1' created.
Install program terminated normally.
When I try to start manager service either from GGSCI or from services.msc it gives same login error as mentioned earlier in the post.
2) Using tnsnames while login into database:
GGSCI (msheth-work) 1> edit params mgr
PORT 7809
USERID ggs_owner@gg1, PASSWORD ggs_owner
PURGEOLDEXTRACTS C:\gg1\dirdat\ex, USECHECKPOINTS
Just to make sure username and password is fine I login into database using GGSCI command prompt as follows:
GGSCI (msheth-work) 4> dblogin userid ggs_owner@gg1, password ggs_owner
Successfully logged into database.
Hence, after making sure on all your suggestion I could not get it started and still situation is the same. I would need manager login into database becuase I have implemented DDL replication.
Also, just by removing manager service from windows, same configuration without any change works like a charm. It just that for evey goldengate process a new window is create and it can't be closed. (If closed process dies). -
Quick Time pro does not start at all and gives an error "Fehler 46: K"
I installed QT pr0 without problems. But QT does not start. After doubleclicking there is a short message with the above error code "Fehler 46:K" No movie can be played is thera any support for pro customer`? Is the Problem known? Installing and uninstalling does not help. Procedures recommanded from apple - empty temp etc. did not help either. Google did only find 2 posts none with valuable information.
As I'm sure you are already aware, that HDD has failed to the point it cannot find a bootable volume.
If you have a backup, no worries.
If you do not have a backup, you could try to reinstall the operating system and get the disk to a state in which it will at least mount. Then, copy whatever information remains intact to another disk. I would be inclined to replace the drive now, install the failed one in an external enclosure, and attempt to extract whatever information you need from it. -
The extraction program does not support object 0MATERIAL
Hi All,
can you please help me with the issue that we have for some of our Master data load.
Full Loads are working fine, Delta Init is working fine as well. but Delta load is not the error is "The extraction program does not support object 0MATERIAL"
already tried looking for some OSS note but none of them helps.
hope anyone can help me.
Thanks in advance,
AldenHi Christopher,
Below is the reply that I got from SAP Consultant:
I assume that this issue was happened after upgrade
which is already mentioned in the consulting notes 1165059 & 1251433:
-> 1165059 ALE: Generating and reading change pointers after Upgrade
-> 1251433 SAPI: Creating and reading change pointers after Upgrade
Can you have a look at these consulting notes to get more information
in details about ALE changing and follow my recommended steps to solve
this problem please:
1. Can you check this affected datasource in table ROOSGEN in source
system and you will find the generated Message Type in MSGTYP:
->Tx. se16 ROOSGEN:
OLTPSOURCE SLOGSYS RLOGSYS MSGTYP ->???
2. Then you can check this Message Type (RS*) in table TBDA2 and you
will see that the flag (BDCP2_ACT) is missing here in table TBDA2 :
->Tx. se16 ->TBDA2:
MESTYP ACTIVE BDCP2_ACT
RS* X (empty!)
3. If the flage (BDCP2_ACT) is missing here in table TBDA2:
Then you have to do the following steps:
->start transaction SALE:
Modelling and Implementing Business Processes
Master Data Distribution
Replication of Modified Data
Activate Change Pointers for Message Type
-> select the affected generated Message Type
-> RS* ->deavivate and activate again
Afterwards the missing flag should be set correct in TBDA2 again.
Please check it first and then you can start the delta upload in
your BW system side again. The data load should work correct now.
After carrying out the above steps we were able to re initialize the master data.
Regards and Thanks,

Historical Lag info for Extract/Pump/Replicat
Does any one know how to query historical lag informaion for extract/pump/replicat?
Not just the current lag. For example if these processes are runnning for about year now than maximum lag that these processes could have experience in the last one year?
Our GG version is 11.1.1.0.29 and OS is Redhat Linux 4 - 64 bit.The OGG Management Pack keeps a historical repository for all distributed OGG processes in a central location for alerting, graphing, and troubleshooting. Or you can use the heartbeat table (MOS doc ID 1299679.1) or scripts.
Good luck,

WebAnalysis does not start after workspace is set on Windows Authentication
I've used [doc Hyperion System 9.3.x Configuring the BI+ Workspace for Single Sign-On (SSO) with Internet Information Services (IIS) [ID 1100096.1] to configure SSO for workspace users. It works fine. Though since then the WA service does not start anymore. The error message which is raised sounds very very familar but still I am not able to tackle it. The message in the log or the analysis console is "[WARN] [STANDBY] ExecuteThread: '1' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)' com.hyperion.analyzer.utils.general.HYAUtil - Wait for workspace [
[WARN] Timer-2 com.hyperion.analyzer.utils.general.HYAUtil - ."
I am very sure it had something to do with rights/ permissions, but also after playing around with IIS and ntfs permissions for hours I can't get SSO en WA both working at the same time.
As soon as I set my workspace aplication in IIS on windows integrated, the SSO is working but as soon as a I restart the WA service it fails to start. When I set the workspace application IIS on anonymous the WA service start fine but then the SSO is not working anymore.
It drives me crazy.
Hopefully its a small matter for you to solve!
Thanks in advance.Dont know exactly whats happened but I presume something went wrong during the update procedure.
If you will be not able to start the notebook in the safe mode or to boot the notebook then user the Toshiba recovery CD to gets the notebook working! -

-Xmx greater than 180M does not start jvm on a 2gb machine, why?
Hi, we have developed a product demo shown as an applet that uses the java plug-in to startup.
The demo requires high amount of memory so we modified the java plug-in -xms and -xmx values in the control panel so more memory is available to the applet. What we can not see is why using values higher than -Xmx187M the applet does not start launching an error message either in Explorer of Firefox telling it has been unable to load the jvm. Using the value of -Xmx180M the applet starts but the out of memory message is displayed very soon as the demo requires at least 700M.
We are using:
� JRE1.6_u02
� IE7. FireFox 2.0.0.7
� Computer: 2GB Ram, CoreDuo2.
Does any of you why this limitation in the maximum java heap size?
Thanks for your time and help.
Best Regards.I don't understand the logic for when it will error out on the -Xmx setting.One obvious idea leaps to my mind - because windows doesn't do it.
And googling would seem to support that. Search for "currently implemented up to" in the following.
