You won’t be able to map the token in the replicat if you are using the big
data adapter. Just ran into this limitation the other day. The COLMAP
function doesn’t work at least in OGG Big Data 19c.
You will have to do that upstream in the pump (or extract if possible) and then
once it gets to the replicat, it will look like a real column.
There are at least 3 MOS notes that discuss this:
BD Adapter Abend Error COLMAP Initializing Avro Metadata Provider (Doc ID
2216100.1)
GoldenGate BigData ElasticSearch Does Not Allow COLMAP In Replicat (Doc ID
2455309.1)
Colmap Does Not Work With Kafka Handler (Doc ID 2506990.1)

Morning/Evening,
In short, TOKENS are going to be your friend with this approach.
Define a Token:
TABLE <table>, TOKENS(<token name> = <token data>);
Looks something like this (in extract):
TABLE XYZ.PCM, TOKENS (DBNAME1=@GETENV(‘GGFILEHEADER’, ‘DBNAME’));
Then in the replicat file:
MAP XYZ.PCM, TARGET XYZ.PCM, COLMAP(USEDEFAULTS, STATUS=@TOKENS(‘DBNAME1’));
This should get what you want out of the adapter.

Subject: How to replicate additional column using Goldengate Big Data Adapter?
Hello All,
How to replicate additional column using Goldengate Big Data Adapter?
Source Database Version: 12.1.0.2
Source Goldengate Version: 12.2.0.2.2
Target Goldengate Big Data Adapter: 19.1.0.0.5
Target Destination: Solace
Source Table Definition:
SQL> desc XYZ.PCM
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------- --------
----------------------------
PAYMENT_CODE NUMBER(10)
PAYMENT_DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2(240)
TYPE_PG_NAME VARCHAR2(240)
GL_CODE NUMBER
CATEGORY VARCHAR2(240)
STATUS VARCHAR2(240)
SETTLEMENT VARCHAR2(240)
COMMISSION NUMBER
SETTLEMENT_DAYS NUMBER
Replicat Param File:
REPLICAT REPFXMT1
TARGETDB LIBFILE libggjava.so SET property=dirprm/REPFXMT1.props

--MAP XYZ.PCM, TARGET XYZ.PCM;
--MAP XYZ.PCM, TARGET XYZ.PCM , COLMAP(USEDEFAULTS, DBNAME = @GETENV
('GGFILEHEADER', 'DBNAME'));
MAP XYZ.PCM, TARGET XYZ.PCM, COLMAP(USEDEFAULTS, STATUS = @GETENV
('GGFILEHEADER', 'DBNAME'));
When we try to replicate 9 columns from source to target using “MAP XYZ.PCM,
TARGET XYZ.PCM;” clause, it works fine.
However, when we try to replicate addition column using “MAP XYZ.PCM, TARGET
XYZ.PCM , COLMAP(USEDEFAULTS, DBNAME1 = @GETENV ('GGFILEHEADER',
'DBNAME'));”clause, it fails with below error;
2021-01-18 15:04:38 INFO OGG-15056 The definition for target table

...(USEDEFAULTS, DBNAME1 =...

2021-01-18 15:04:38 ERROR OGG-00919 Error in COLMAP clause.
As a test, we tried to replicate using “MAP XYZ.PCM, TARGET XYZ.PCM,
COLMAP(USEDEFAULTS, STATUS = @GETENV ('GGFILEHEADER', 'DBNAME'));” clause and
it works fine.“Status” is an existing column in source table with
VARCHAR2(240) datatype. When this clause is used, the target “Status” column
is overwritten with ‘DBNAME’ value. This is not a fix, we just wanted to see
whether Goldengate Adapter can replicat token values.
The expectation is to replicate 9 columns from source and apply them to
target along with additional column with token value. Please suggest how to
do this, like is there a way to define this new column datatype to GG
Adapter, or something else.
