I testing GG on my Laptop

Question

Hi ,
I am having Oracle 11g installed on Laptop with Windows 7.
I have installed two GG on separate directories . The Managers are running on port 7809 and 7810.
I have only one database with Two Schemas Ravi and DAMS.
My Source schema is DAMS. The Extract param file is as below :
EXTRACT extora
USERID ggs, PASSWORD ggs
DISCARDFILE D:\Downloads\GoldenGate\da_appl.dsc, PURGE
RMTHOST USER-PC, MGRPORT 7810
RMTTRAIL D:\Downloads\RemHost\dirdat\aa
TABLE DAMS.DA_APPL;
I registered the above in source GG as ADD EXTRACT EXTORA, SOURCEISTABLE
On the Target my Replicate is as below :
REPLICAT INITREP
ASSUMETARGETDEFS
DISCARDFILE D:\Downloads\RemHost\tcustmer.dsc, PURGE
USERID ggs, PASSWORD ggs
MAP DAMS.DA_APPL, TARGET RAVI.DA_APPL
WHERE (trunc(creation_date) >to_date('31-DEC-2008','DD-MON-YYYY'));
IGNOREINSERTS
MAP DAMS.DA_APPL, TARGET RAVI.DA_APPL
WHERE (trunc(creation_date) <=to_date('31-DEC-2008','DD-MON-YYYY'));
I keep getting the below error when I run the extract :
2010-10-14 16:58:00 ERROR OGG-00049 Trails cannot be used when SOURCEISTABLE/SOURCEISFILE is specified.
If i mark the rmttrail then I get the following error :
2010-10-14 17:02:49 ERROR OGG-00362 RMTTRAIL must be specified before FILE/TABLE/SEQUENCE.
I registered the replicate as :
add replicat initrep , specialrun
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
Have you gone through this Metalink Doc ID 1149823.1. If not here it is. They clearly explained the solution for this error in Windows 7.
Symptoms
OS: Windows 2008 or Windows 7
DB: Oracle
Goldengate extract gets following errors:
1. fail to read Oracle online redo logs
(1) Before version 10.4.0.40_001 and 10.0.0.51_001:
2010-01-19 20:51:24 GGS ERROR 190 error (The operation completed successfully.) creating file E:\ORACLE\ORADATA\ORA1022A\REDO01.LOG for sequence 63.
(2) In version 10.4.0.40_001 and 10.0.0.51_001, or later:
2010-01-28 11:41:35 GGS ERROR 500 Error 5 (Access is denied.) opening log file E:\ORACLE\ORADATA\ORA1022A\REDO03.LOG for sequence 79. Not able to establish initial position for begin time 2010-01-28 11:38:38.
2. fail to read SQL server online log
2010-07-12 12:31:47 GGS INFO 285 VAM Client Report <OpenProcess failed to open SQL Server process. GetLastError is 5. Verify connection is to a local instance and that permissions are granted for access to sqlservr process ID 3948.>.
Cause
On windows 2008 or Windows 7, the default permission for Oracle online redo log is changed. Therefore, the other users cannot read them.
Solution
1. install GG service (e.g., "install ADDSERVICE").
The installation will require administrator privilege. After the installation, starting the manager by service (not from ggsci command line). Then, the extract may be started and able to read redo logs. This is the preferred way.
2. Start manager/extract processes as administrator.
Right click 'cmd' program (DOS), select 'run as administrator'. Then starting manager and extract will give the extract the permission to read redo logs.
3. Change online redo log files permission
Add read permission on all the redo logfiles to the user who will start up the manager and extract.
right click the file ->property->security->Edit->add
This may have side effects on database security, and is not recommended in production environment.
Thanks.
