Disable triggers, cascade delete constraints, and cascade update constraints on target Sybase tables, or alter them to ignore changes made by the Oracle GoldenGate database user. Oracle GoldenGate replicates DML that results from a trigger or cascade constraint. If the same trigger or constraint gets activated on the target table, it becomes redundant because of the replicated version, and the database returns an error. Consider the following example, where the source tables are emp_src and salary_src and the target tables are emp_targ and salary_targ.

1. A delete is issued for emp_src.

2. It cascades a delete to salary_src.

3. Oracle GoldenGate sends both deletes to the target.

4. The parent delete arrives first and is applied to emp_targ.

5. The parent delete cascades a delete to salary_targ.

6. The cascaded delete from salary_src is applied to salary_targ.

7. The row cannot be located because it was already deleted in step 5.

To configure Replicat to disable target triggers at the start of its database session, take the following steps:
