The Integrated Capture is in the STARTING State for a long time.
Due to some error, one of my Integrated Extract process got ABENDED. I resolved the issue and started the Extract process. I checked the status of the Extract process by issuing the command INFO EXTRACT EXTRACT_NAME
GGSCI (OGGSRV1) 74> info extract UODSEXT
EXTRACT UODSEXT Last Started 2014-12-16 23:58 Status STARTING

From the above output, I came to know that the Extract process is getting started. Always an Integrated process will take
time to start as it needs to bind with the Logminer Process of Oracle for capturing changes from the Redo logfiles.
I just waited for a long time and again checked the status. But the Status was still STARTING.

Meanwhile something got messed up with my Extract Process 🙁

There are queries to manage the Integrated Capture process. Using one of the query I came to know the reason for the Capture Process to get stuck.,

There might be many reasons for Oracle GoldenGate Integrated Capture process to get stuck. They are below.,
- INITALIZING / DICTIONARY INITIALIZATION (the state alternates between these states), or
- WAITING FOR DICTIONARY REDO: FIRST SCN , or
- WAITING FOR REDO: LAST SCN MINED , or
- WAITING FOR DICTIONARY REDO: FILE
Using the below query I checked if the Capture process was waiting for any archivelog files.
There is a query to display the information about each archive redo log file required by the Integrated Capture Process in a database.
SQL> COLUMN CONSUMER_NAME HEADING ‘Capture|Process|Name’ FORMAT A15
SQL> COLUMN SOURCE_DATABASE HEADING ‘Source|Database’ FORMAT A10

OGG$CAP_UODSEXT GGDB1 33905 /vol1/oradata/arch/GGDB1/archlogs/GGDB1_1_33905_842874721.ARC
The output clearly showed that the Integrated Capture process UODSEXT was waiting for the archive logs sequence 33904 and 33905. I got a doubt and checked if the
required sequences exists in the archivelog directory. But unfortunately it was missing.

REASON: The Archivelogs got delete / removed because a script was scheduled in the CRONTAB for removing the archivelogs.
SUGGESTION: One should have a sufficient number of archivelogs physically present in the disk.
From Oracle Oracle GoldenGate 11g, Extract can be integrated with Oracle RMAN to manage log retention. Using RMAN for deleting the archivelog files will be highly recommended and
will be a best practice, because RMAN does not remove or deletes the archivelog files which are required by the Classic / Integrated Extract Processes.
LOGRETENTION is the parameter introduced from Oracle GoldenGate 11g.
Classic Capture: if you want to ensure that RMAN will retain any needed logs, you must enable LOGRETENTION.
Integrated Capture: LOGRETENTION is automatically enabled.
In this mode, Extract can be integrated with Oracle RMAN to manage log retention.
