Using LOGDUMP

LOGDUMP is a great utility and a real bonus to the Oracle GoldenGate software bundle. Without LOGDUMP, we will not be able to read a trail file, which would make us blind to troubleshooting data-related issues.

LOGDUMP has a command-line interface that allows you to open files, format the display, and navigate through a file, including filtering data. To invoke the utility, navigate to the GoldenGate Home directory and enter logdump, as shown in the following command:

[oracle@db12c ogg]$ ./logdump
