How to reconfigure and restart GoldenGate Replication from MySQL to Oracle after a DDL operation on the source

Question

I succesfully configured and performed the goldengate replication from MySQL 5.1 to Oracle XE 11g using GG 11g as per
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/fmw/goldengate/11g/GGS_Sect_Config_UX_MSQ_to_UX_ORA.pdf
After replication was successully started working I added a new column to one of the test tables TCUSTMER
ALTER TABLE TCUSTMER ADD COLUMN ADDRESS VARCHAR(64) DEFAULT NULL;
And inserted another row in the same table.
INSERT INTO TCUSTMER VALUES ('CLARK', 'CLARK BOATS', 'REDWOOD',  'CA', 'Test Addresss1');
As soon as I did that the replication broke.
2015-04-16 17:42:44  ERROR   OGG-00146  VAM function VAMRead returned unexpected result: error 600 - VAM Client Report <CAUSE OF FAILURE : Table Metadata Altered cause
WHEN FAILED : While processing table map event in log processor
Then I reverted the DDL change back to original
ALTER TABLE TCUSTMER DROP COLUMN ADDRESS;
and tried to run the replication again
But it is not starting as before.
What should I do to move forward with same setup.

Hi ,
Whenever you do a DDL change in the Source table, you have to make the same changes in the Target side also. Then recreate the Definition File, copy it to the Target side and Start the GoldenGate processes.
1. Add the column in the Target side.
2. Recreate the Definition File and copy it to the Target side.
3. Recreate the Replicat process in the Target side and try to start it.
Hope this works..!!!!!!!! Any other suggestions friends????????
