This procedure enables Oracle GoldenGate to recover from certain conditions, such as a file system corruption or a system failure, that corrupt the Extract checkpoint file, trail, or both, and which prevent Extract from being able to start. It enables you to establish a safe starting point in the transaction log for the primary Extract after the system has been restored. It also shows you how to reposition downstream data pumps and Replicat to read from the correct Extract write position in the trails, and to filter out any transactions that Replicat already applied to the target.
