ERROR OGG-01032 There is a problem in network communication, a remote file problem, encryption keys for target and source do not match (if using ENCRYPT) or an unknown error. Length is 3 - 000000: 46 45 00 |FE. |.

After the Server 2 crashed and brought up the pumps on Server 1 sending trails to Server2 was abending with below error

ERROR   OGG-01032  There is a problem in network communication, a remote file problem, encryption keys for target and source do not match (if using ENCRYPT) or an unknown error. Length is 3 - 000000: 46 45 00                                        |FE.             |.

Cause

Trail file system on target goes out of space causing the pump  to hang. The issue is ultimately due to an  interrupted rmt trail writing caused by connection issues because the target file system cannot be written to.

Note that this is a single instance of a broader issue. Anytime the collector server fails for any reason, it will look like a TCP or network issue to the pump. This can be space or security or path issues or anything else.

Solution

Fix any target space issue.

1) Go the source server and login into ggsci

- Execute the below command
alter <extract pump> etrollover

start <extract pump>

(ETROLLOVER will force the pump to write on a fresh trail)

3) Go the target server and check if the new trail files are being generated.

4) Verify if the first record in the new trail file is indeed the next record in the local extract trail. (It can be done by looking at the RBA value through the logdump utility)

5) Alter the replicat to the new trail file
alter <replicat> extseqno <new trail file> extrba 0

6) Start the Replicat process

7) Verify if all the processes are running fine.
