Handling TCP/IP Errors

To provide instructions for responding to TCP/IP errors, use the TCPERRS file. This file is in the Oracle GoldenGate directory

Table 8-9 TCPERRS Columns

Column	Description
Error	Specifies a TCP/IP error for which you are defining a response.
Response	Controls whether or not Oracle GoldenGate tries to connect again after the defined error. Valid values are either `RETRY` or `ABEND`.
Delay	Controls how long Oracle GoldenGate waits before attempting to connect again.
Max Retries	Controls the number of times that Oracle GoldenGate attempts to connect again before aborting.

If a response is not explicitly defined in the TCPERRS file, Oracle GoldenGate responds to TCP/IP errors by abending.

The TCPERRS file contains default responses to basic errors. To alter the instructions or add instructions for new errors, open the file in a text editor and change any of the values in the columns shown in **INTERNAL XREF ERROR**:
