ERROR OGG-01161 Bad column index () specified for table ., max columns = 62 .

Because of mismatch structure between source and target tables, this error can be taken.In my case i am not synchronizing all columns for specific table named TEST1 . First 62 columns of a table are in  synchronization.There was already changes in the source table and these changes were not propagated to target as well.

After abnormal crash of source database ,Golden Gate immediately gave ERROR OGG-01161 error.

2014-03-02 18:19:50  ERROR   OGG-01161  Oracle GoldenGate Delivery for Oracle, REP1.prm:  Bad column index (62) specified for table TEST.TABLE1, max columns = 62.

2014-03-02 18:19:50  ERROR   OGG-01668  Oracle GoldenGate Delivery for Oracle, REP1.prm:  PROCESS ABENDING.

For solution , I have recreated definiton file for specific table and copied def file content to target def file.I have not created absent columns at target side.Updating definition file with new definition of related table solved my issue.

Source : 

$GG_HOME=/gg

1. Created new definition parameter file for TEST.TABLE1

   ## TEST1.prm file

   DEFSFILE /gg/dirdef/TEST1.def

   USERID gg01, password gg01

   TABLE TEST.TABLE1;

2. Using the defgen utility ,new definition file is created

   /gg/defgen paramfile /gg/dirprm/TEST1.prm

   

   This command will create TEST1.def under /gg/dirdef and will contain following information for table1

Target :

3. Stopped replicat and manager at target

4. Due to more than 1 table exist in GoldenGate replication , only TEST1 table part of target definition file was replaced with above content between "Definition for table" and "End of definition" snippet.

5. Started manager and replicat.
