There is not much information online on the matter, and the official <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.oracle.com\/en\/middleware\/goldengate\/core\/23\/error-messages\/error-messages-guide-oracle-goldengate.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Oracle documentation<\/a> doesn&#8217;t help. If you ever stumble upon an <code>OGG-00423<\/code> error when setting up GoldenGate replication, remember that it&#8217;s <strong>most certainly related to grants given to the GoldenGate user<\/strong>. An example of the error is given below, after starting an initial load:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>2025-10-27 09:52:40&nbsp; ERROR&nbsp;&nbsp; OGG-00423&nbsp; Could not find definition for pdb_source.app_source.t1.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This error happened when doing an <strong>initial load<\/strong> with the following configuration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>extract extini\nuseridalias cdb01\nextfile aa\nSOURCECATALOG pdb_source\ntable app_source.t1, SQLPredicate \"As of SCN 3899696\";<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This error should be present whether you use <code>SOURCECATALOG<\/code> or the full three-part <code>TABLE<\/code> name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For replicats, a common solution for OGG-00423 is to use the <code><strong>ASSUMETARGETDEFS<\/strong><\/code> parameter in the configuration file, but this is a <strong>replication-only parameter<\/strong>, and there is no such thing for the initial load. In this case, the error was due to the user defined in the <code>cdb01<\/code> alias lacking select on the specified <code>t1<\/code> table:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&#091;oracle@vmogg ~]$ sqlplus c##ggadmin\nEnter password:\n\nSQL&gt; alter session set container=pdb_source;\nSession altered.\n\nSQL&gt; select * from app_source.t1;\nselect * from app_source.t1\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *\nERROR at line 1:\nORA-00942: table or view does not exist<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>After granting the correct <code>SELECT<\/code> privilege to the GoldenGate user, it works ! Here is an example on how to grant this select. You might want to grant it differently, depending on security aspects in your deployments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sqlplus \/ as sysdba\nALTER SESSION SET CONTAINER=PDB_SOURCE;\nGRANT SELECT ANY TABLE TO C##GGADMIN CONTAINER=CURRENT;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>NB:<\/em><\/strong> When testing GoldenGate setups, a good practice to debug OGG-errors if you do not use a DBA user for replication is to <strong>temporarily grant DBA<\/strong> (or a DBA role) to the GoldenGate user. This way, you can quickly track down the root cause of your problem, at least if it&#8217;s related to grants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this didn&#8217;t solve your issue, make sure to check if you are connecting to the right database ! The <code>useridalias<\/code> setting could contain a mistake that makes it connect to the wrong database.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Very quick piece of blog today to tackle the OGG-00423 error.
