Oracle Database Ingestion Connector

Oracle Database Ingestion Connector

Fixed issues

The following table describes fixed issues:
Issue
Description
DBMI-26235
Database ingestion and replication jobs that have an Oracle source and SQL Server target incorrectly map source CLOB columns to target VARCHAR columns by default. Because SQL Server VARCHAR columns support only ASCII data, any non-ASCII characters from the source are not stored correctly in the target. Change the default mapping to a target data type such as NVARCHAR(MAX) that would avoid the problem and achieve better data consistency.
(October 2025)
DBMI-26002
Database ingestion and replication incremental load or combined load jobs that have an Oracle source might fail with the following error:
PWX-36465 ORAD Info Mbr 1: DM sequence error: Unsupported operation: multi-block (MBU) sequence in process and not kDE_DML_MULTIBLK
(October 2025)
DBMI-25848
Database ingestion and replication combined load jobs that have a source table with a primary key and an Oracle target might not write all change records to the target if DML operations occur in the backlog of captured changes before change apply processing starts.
(October 2025)
DBMI-25825
Database ingestion and replication jobs that have an Oracle source and SQL Server target incorrectly map source VARCHAR2 columns to target VARCHAR columns by default. Because SQL Server VARCHAR columns support only ASCII data, any non-ASCII characters from the source are not stored correctly in the target. Change the default mapping to a target data type such as NVARCHAR(MAX) that would avoid the problem and achieve better data consistency.
(October 2025)
DBMI-25720
Database ingestion and replication combined load jobs that have an Oracle source and use the ARCHIVEONLY or ARCHIVECOPY reader mode might fail with the following error:
[CDCPUB_10066] TRACE: [Unexpected error while creating local storage :Internal logic error! CDC-UNLOAD-PEIPROD.F0901 InputEndpoint Helper. Backlog StorageQueue doesn't exist with ID:<identifier>. Wait minutes:5]
When data is read only from Oracle archive logs, the next archive log to consume might not be available before the default check for backlog storage queue creation occurs.
(October 2025)
DBMI-25582
Database ingestion and replication incremental load or combined load jobs that have an Oracle source and connect to an Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM) system to read redo logs might fail with the following timeout error:
36558 ORAD Warn Mbr 2: ASM read timed out after 6 seconds.
(October 2025)
DBMI-25489
Database ingestion and replication incremental load and combined load jobs that have an Oracle source and use BFILE access to the redo logs might fail with the following error if the database uses a softlink pointer to the archive log directory:
PWX-36075 OCI Error: ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed]. … [CDCPUB_10066] TRACE: [Error message[6] soft link in path].
(October 2025)
DBMI-25848
Database ingestion and replication combined load jobs that have a source with a primary key and an Oracle target might not write all change records to the target if DML operations occur on a row during the backlog phase of unload or initial load processing.
(October 2025)
DBMI-25482
Database ingestion and replication jobs that have an Oracle source and use the CDC_WITH_BACKLOG CDC transitioning method might fail if the Oracle Flashback permissions are missing.
(October 2025)
DBMI-25391
Database ingestion and replications jobs that have an Oracle source might fail if LOB data is incompletely logged or cannot be interpreted and if the data also cannot be fetched directly from the database because the row has been deleted or removed.
(October 2025)
DBMI-25321
For database ingestion and replication jobs that have an Oracle source and any target type, a DML operation from an old cycle might be mistakenly processed during job restart because its table's recovery data wasn't fetched. This behavior might result in a duplicate key error on the target.
(October 2025)
DBMI-25005
Database ingestion and replication combined load jobs that have an Oracle target might fail with the error
ORA-00001: unique constraint violated
when processing an Update operation if incorrect merge apply logic result in attempts to insert duplicate records to the target:.
(October 2025)
DBMI-24965
Database ingestion and replication jobs that have an Oracle source and use a connection with the RAC Members property configured might fail if one of the RAC members is down.
(October 2025)
DBMI-24820
Database ingestion and replication combined load jobs that have an Oracle source and Oracle target might fail with the error
ORA-00001: unique constraint violated
when processing an Update operation if incorrect merge apply logic result in attempts to insert duplicate records to the target:
(July 2025)
DBMI-24786
Database ingestion and replication incremental load jobs that have an Oracle source and Oracle target might fail with the following error because of incorrect merge apply processing:
ORA-30926: unable to get a stable set of rows in the source tables. Error code: 30926.
(July 2025)
DBMI-24710
Database ingestion and replication jobs that have an Oracle source with compressed SECUREFILE LOB columns can write incorrect data to the target.
(July 2025)
DBMI-24588
Database ingestion and replication jobs that have an Oracle source might fail if the privilege for the GV$TRANSACTION view is missing.
(October 2025)
DBMI-24562
Database ingestion and replication incremental load jobs fail with the following error when an Oracle database session that is updating tables with LOB columns is killed and an unknown type of backout operation occurs:
PWX-36046 ORAD Mbr 2: Log parser found unexpected error. non-KDO_XTYPE_XR pCVRedo for DML Rollback [PwxOrlRrpRedoEntryParser:1962].
(July 2025)
DBMI-24183
After the April 2025 release, database ingestion and replication initial load jobs with Oracle sources might fail with the following ODBC driver error:
*Caused by: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: Exception java.lang.SecurityException: sealing violation: package oracle.jdbc is sealed [in thread* "CDC-UNLOAD-CNS_CUST.CIS_OE_ORDER_HEADERS_DTLS Object Distributor (632)"]
The problem occurs because the February 2025 release required the odbc8.jar file to be in the <Secure Agent >/apps/Database_Ingestion/ext directory. However, in the April 2025 release, the driver isn’t expected at that location. To prevent the error, the driver has been removed from the ext directory.
(May 2025)
DBMI-24177
Database ingestion and replication jobs that have an Oracle source might produce single-digit values in some fields on the target, whereas the corresponding source fields contain multiple digits. This discrepancy is caused by an internal error, which results in random truncation of character strings.
(May 2025)
DBMI-24059
After the April 2025 release, database ingestion and replication incremental load or combined load jobs that have an Oracle source without a primary key and a Snowflake target write duplicate rows to the target when processing an Update operation.
(May 2025)
DBMI-24113
A database ingestion and replication job that has an Oracle source running on AIX, HP-UX, or Solaris platforms might fail to convert LOB data that was set as NULL on updates to Endian data formats.
(May 2025)
DBMI-23758
If database ingestion and replication initial load jobs that have an Oracle source with XMLTYPE columns use the Oracle JDBC Thin driver, as configured in the Oracle Database Ingestion connection, the jobs might write nulls to the target.
(July 2025)
DBMI-23727
A database ingestion and replication incremental load or combined load job that has an Oracle source might fail with the following message:
PWX-36196 ORAD: No logs with Start SCN 5944410182514 and resetlogs Id 855675717 are available for THREAD# 1.
(May 2025)
DBMI-23704
After a switch to Daylight Saving Time (DST), running database ingestion and replication jobs that have an Oracle source do not detect the time zone offset change on the database server and consequently display capture progress messages that report an incorrect capture time.
(July 2025)
DBMI-23611
Database ingestion and replication incremental load or combined load jobs that have an Oracle source fail if they can’t parse redo log records that don’t have a transaction ID (XID) when processing DML changes.
(May 2025)
DBMI-23299
Database ingestion and replication incremental load and combined load jobs with Oracle sources use the Oracle V$TRANSACTION view to check for open transactions. However, this view provides results for one active RAC node, not all RAC nodes in the cluster. The global GV$TRANSACTION view should be used instead.
(May 2025)
DBMI-22984
If database ingestion and replication combined load jobs that have an Oracle source and use the ARCHIVEONLY reader mode encounter a long-running open transaction with a begin SCN that is older than the archive log start position, data loss might occur.
(July 2025)
DBMI-22685
A database ingestion combined load job that has an Oracle source and uses the query-based CDC method might fail if you do not have the EXECUTE ON DBMS_FLASHBACK permission.
(July 2025)
DBMI-20142
When the source custom property transitionSchedulerType is set to CDC_WITH_BACKLOG, the EXECUTE ON DBMS_FLASHBACK privilege should not be required for combined load jobs with Oracle sources. Any change data that accumulates in the backlog queue is applied by using fuzzy logic instead of a FLASHBACK query that uses a SELECT AS OF
scn
statement. However, deployment of the task fails with an error stating the FLASHBACK privilege is required.
(May 2025)

Known issues

The following table describes known issues:
Issue
Description
DBMI-24444
For
database ingestion and replication
tasks that have an Oracle source and use the Audit apply mode, LOB data might not be correctly replicated to the target. When a non-LOB data is updated, the remaining columns are replicated as NULLs.
Workaround: None.
(May 2025)
DBMI-23360
Database ingestion and replication incremental load or combined load jobs that have an Oracle source with XML columns and an Oracle target might fail with the following Oracle error when processing a DML operation:
[Oracle JDBC Driver][Oracle]ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CLOB. Error code: 932
Workaround: None.
(April 2025)
DBMI-23048
If you configure an Oracle Database Ingestion connection to use both the Oracle JDBC Thin driver and SSL encription, when you try to test the connection, the test fails.
Workaround: Do not use the JDBC Thin driver with SSL encryption.
(April 2025)
DBMI-19145
Database ingestion and replication
jobs that use the Log-based CDC method and have an Oracle source with only LOB columns selected and no primary key do not create subtasks on the tables. As a result, the jobs cannot capture change data from the tables. Messages such as the following are written to the log:
[DBMIP_23026] The process [CDC-LOBS] with the thread ID [9708] encountered new table [lob_table_name]. The new table is excluded from processing.
[CDCPUB_10066] TRACE: [PwxCDCRequestProcessor.askSchema() returned: Don't capture.].
Workaround: In the task, select some non-LOB source columns, in addition to the LOB columns, for replication if you want to continue using the table without a primary key.
(July 2024)
DBMI-14767
If a database ingestion and replication job uses an Oracle Database Ingetion source connection that's configured to use the Oracle JDBC Thin driver, the job can replicate up to 39 digits from source columns that have a numeric data type to the target. If a source numeric value has 40 or more digits, the fortieth digit and all additional digits are replaced by zeroes (0) on the target.
Workaround: None.
(September 2023)
DBMI-13605
The Oracle Database Ingestion connection properties page includes no property for entering JDBC connection properties, such as EncryptionLevel, when they're needed.
Workaround: In the
Service Name
field, you can add JDBC connection properties after the Oracle SID value, using a semicolon (;) as the separator.
(April 2023)
DBMI-10794
Oracle source columns with the TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE data type are supported only for initial load jobs.
Workaround: To enable database ingestion and replication incremental load and combined load jobs to process change data from TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE columns, set the source custom property pwx.cdcreader.oracle.option.additional ENABLETIMSTAMPWITHTZ to Y.
(July 2022)
