ERROR OGG-00446 Could not open checkpoint file (error 2, No such file or directory)

M81SilvaDec 6 2016 — edited Dec 6 2016

Hi guys,

I'm using

Oracle GoldenGate Delivery for Oracle

Version 12.2.0.1.1 OGGCORE_12.2.0.1.0_PLATFORMS_151211.1401

for Windows OS

I have an issue with symbolic links (mklink) in a network share for Windows OS.

I will describe what I have done and what is not working:

  • I have mapped a shared network drive (G:\) on the Server to share \dirdat ; \dirchk and \BR folders between Servers for HA purposes.
  • I have successfully created a Symbolic Directory  <SYMLINKD>     dirdat [G:\dirchk] under my GGHOME C:\...\oggcore_2
  • I has able to ADD the REPLICAT Proccess from within GGSCI
  • But when I try to START REPLICAT PRP99002 from within GGSCI and get this errro

          ERROR   OGG-00446  Could not open checkpoint file C:\...\oggcore_2\dirchk\PRP99002.cpr, mode 1 (error 2, No such file or directory).

If I start the Replicat from the command line:

C:\...\oggcore_2> REPLICAT.EXE paramfile C:\...\oggcore_2\dirprm\PRP99002.prm

It gets properly STARTED.

The weird is that, in GGSCI it can create the checkpoint file PRP99002.cpr in the share, but then, it cannot access the file to start the replicat proccess.

What can I do so that REPLICAT Proccess start automatically when MANAGER starts from a Windows Service?

Is there any magic trick? What am I missing?

Thanks

Mara
