Message causing error in a transaction

Question

Hi everybody
I'm using replication with streams in Oracle 10gR1. Normally I have large transactions that include many messages.
When an apply error occur, I know what transaction is causing the error, and I can see all the messages that be part of them (using the views provided by Oracle and various documented procedures); but I can not see directly what message is causing the error.
For example -in my database- a typical transaction can have 200 messages. This transaction has many inserts, updates or deletes sentences over many tables. If an apply error occur at the destination database, I want to know which of this 200 messages caused the error, because is impractical and very tedious check every of them. Is there any way to perform this? I’m missing something?
Thanks in advance and regards, Flavio.

Let me explain me with an example:
A transaction like this (ID 2.20.69053) , caused an error:
-- ERROR #1
-- Local Trans ID: 2.20.69053
-- Source DB: BDSOURCE
-- Error Number: 1403
-- Message Text: ORA-01403: no data found
In record Loop Msg: 1
Type Name : SYS.LCR$_ROW_RECORD
Source db : BDSOURCE
Owner : SCOTT Object : ARTICLES
CMD Type : UPDATE Is tag null : Y
*Old(1): NUM_EMP => 51                                                         
*Old(2): COD_ART => 11404                                                      
*Old(3): DESCRIPCIO => STOCK (code 44227)    
New(1): DESCRIPCIO => STOCK (code 44227-1)
In record Loop Msg: 2
Type Name : SYS.LCR$_ROW_RECORD
Source db : BDSOURCE
Owner : SCOTT Object : STRUCTURE
CMD Type : UPDATE Is tag null : Y
*Old(1): NUM_EMP => 51                                                         
*Old(2): ART_TER => 11404                                                      
*Old(3): POSICION => 0157                                                      
*Old(4): GRUPRO => 3                                                           
*Old(5): SECCION => 3                                                          
*Old(6): ESTADO => D                                           
*Old(7): COM_FAB => D                                          
New(1): GRUPRO => 3
New(2): SECCION => 3
New(3): ESTADO => D
New(4): COM_FAB => T
In record Loop Msg: 200
Type Name : SYS.LCR$_ROW_RECORD
Source db : BDSOURCE
Owner : SCOTT Object : STRUCTURE
CMD Type : UPDATE Is tag null : Y
*Old(1): NUM_EMP => 51                                                         
*Old(2): ART_TER => 11404                                                      
*Old(3): POSICION => 0158                                                      
*Old(4): GRUPRO => 3                                                           
*Old(5): SECCION => 3                                                          
*Old(6): ESTADO => D                                           
*Old(7): COM_FAB => D                                          
New(1): GRUPRO => 3
New(2): SECCION => 3
New(3): ESTADO => D
New(4): COM_FAB => T
And this error (ORA-01403) is caused for one of the 200 msg of the transaction. The question is: ¿What message caused the error? The only way to know this is writing a DML error handler?
Thanks, Flavio.
