Managing TCP/IP errors

GoldenGate automatically handles TCP/IP network-related errors. The actual response, the delay in responding, and the maximum number of retries are configured in a text parameter file named tcperrs. This file can be found in the GoldenGate Home directory.

Any errors occurring at the network layer are written to the ggserr.log GoldenGate log file, which is also located in the GoldenGate Home directory. These errors are categorized as WARNINGS.

The following code lists the default configuration in the tcperrs file:

# Error         Response    Delay (csecs)    Max Retries

ECONNABORTED     RETRY        1000               10
