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

indicates that the Oracle GoldenGate process (usually a Replicat or Data Pump) attempted to read a record's trailer token but encountered an unexpected end-of-file or mismatch. It specifically expected a 4-byte trailer but found 0 bytes, meaning the record is incomplete or the trail file is at that specific Relative Byte Address (RBA) Oracle Help Center Primary Causes Abrupt Shutdowns

Compare sequence numbers:

Reposition the Primary Extract to that point and perform an ETROLLOVER to start a fresh, clean trail file. ogg-01184 expected 4 bytes but got 0 bytes in trail

• Process name (e.g., repemp, exthr).
• Trail file name and full path.
• Sequence number and offset.

Q: How do I avoid this when using OGG for replication across continents? A: Use GoldenGate’s built-in compression and encryption. Always transfer trails with guaranteed delivery (e.g., using OGG’s TCP/IP remote trail option with acknowledgment). indicates that the Oracle GoldenGate process (usually a
