Alex, I may have found a solution. Are you still having problems? Are your online and archived log files in ASM? -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Alex Octan Sent: Friday, May 28, 2010 9:41 AM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: GoldenGate extract error This is very interesting!! I am facing with the same problem, but on Solaris platform. It was working, I tried to change the Extractor processes and I started to get this error too. Any clue is more than welcome. Thanks.
