OGG-01668 PROCESS ABENDING, OGG-01930 Datastore error in 'dirbdb', OGG-01172 Discard file


One of our Oracle Golden Gate Replicat Process Got Abended when we tried to start Replicat Process got OGG-01930 error. We have done lot of search in google for the error and found out the actual error is different and its very simple.

Take a look into below steps for a simple fix.

Restarting the Abended replicat, throws below error and again goes back to ABENDED state.

=====================================================================================================================
If we can see from Step 2, We have received Error OGG-01172 that discard file has reached its max bytes

=====================================================================================================================
 From above we can see that Discard file Limit is set to 1 GB and its also set to Rollover on Every Friday

# 5) Discard File Size

[oracle@host01 dirrpt]$ du -sh DB2.dsc

[oracle@host01 dirrpt]$

=====================================================================================================================
 Maximum Size of Discard File set is 1000 MB and discard file has reached 1000000103 bytes..
=====================================================================================================================

##########################
## Solution
##########################

Discard file has reached its maximum size set. So,

1) We can increase size of the discardfile to a higher value.

2) If above option is not feasible due to disk space shortage, best option is to delete the existing discard file as it contains all discarded records

since start of replicat process and all of them are not needed. You'll need only latest discarded records if you want to perform RCA for these records.

hello,
same error i got in my goldengate evn. i am able to increase the size of DISCARDFILE, but i want to know what exactly DISCARDFILE contains. so how can i read discard file ??

We can read the discard file as we normally do any file at OS level, View the param file of your extract/replicat, find the location where its defined and use any of the OS editor(Like vi) to view it.
