Ogg-01184 Expected 4 Bytes But Got 0 Bytes In Trail Jun 2026

The most direct cause of this error is a corrupted trail file. A trail file is a binary file created by an Extract process that stores a logical change record for database replication. If this file gets corrupted, GoldenGate processes may be unable to parse the data stream, leading to the error.

TransInd: 1 (First record of transaction) XID: 3.27.12345

Then re-sync missing data from source using initial load or GoldenGate’s REPLICAT SPECIALRUN .

From a safe RBA before the corruption (e.g., RBA 4819000), step forward record by record: ogg-01184 expected 4 bytes but got 0 bytes in trail

After the replicat passes that RBA, remove the filter and restart normally.

Restart the replicat once to confirm it’s not a transient I/O glitch:

By utilizing logdump to verify the state of your trail files and safely altering your process sequences, you can quickly recover from OGG-01184 and restore your real-time data pipelines with minimal down-time. The most direct cause of this error is

: Killing OGG processes or OS-level crashes while writing to trails. Disk Space Issues

In Extract and Replicat parameters, add:

ALTER REPLICAT , EXTSEQNO , EXTRBA 0 Regenerate the Trail: TransInd: 1 (First record of transaction) XID: 3

A large financial firm experienced OGG-01184 nightly during high-volume batch jobs. Investigation revealed that a temporary filesystem shared with GoldenGate trail directories was filling up due to a separate ETL job’s logs.
