And, as mentioned in a previous blog post about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/blog\/comparing-data-when-migrating-databases-with-goldengate-veridata-23c-installation-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GoldenGate Veridata installation<\/a>, Oracle didn&#8217;t bother to indicate when an agent is failing. For instance, the following agent named <code>vdt_agent1<\/code> starts successfully:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&#091;oracle@vmvdt vdt_agent1]$ .\/agent.sh start agent.properties\nFormatter type set to TEXT in odl.xml.\n&#091;oracle@vmvdt vdt_agent1]$ ps -ef|grep java | grep agent\noracle     56408       1  0 12:47 pts\/0    00:00:00 \/u01\/app\/oracle\/product\/jdk-17.0.17\/bin\/java -Djava.util.logging.config.class=oracle.core.ojdl.logging.LoggingConfiguration -Doracle.core.ojdl.logging.config.file=\/u01\/app\/oracle\/product\/vdt_agent1\/config\/odl.xml -Dhome=\/u01\/app\/oracle\/product\/vdt23\/agent -DagentHome=\/u01\/app\/oracle\/product\/vdt_agent1 -XX:+UseParallelGC -Xms1024M -Dagent-manifest.jar=\/u01\/app\/oracle\/product\/vdt23\/agent\/agent-manifest.jar -jar \/u01\/app\/oracle\/product\/vdt23\/agent\/JavaAgent.jar agent.properties<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>And this agent named <code>vdt_agent2<\/code> fails to start:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&#091;oracle@vmvdt vdt_agent2]$ .\/agent.sh start agent.properties\nFormatter type set to TEXT in odl.xml.\n&#091;oracle@vmvdt vdt_agent2]$ ps -ef|grep java | grep agent\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Zero difference in the <code>agent.sh<\/code> output, yet one agent is started, while the other is not. It is quite sad, when you compare the Veridata solution to other Oracle solutions, where you usually have a return on the status of what you&#8217;re starting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing to do would be to <strong>look at the logs<\/strong>, right ? So let&#8217;s see how this looks in practice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&#091;oracle@vmvdt3 product]$ pwd\n\/u01\/app\/oracle\/product\n&#091;oracle@vmvdt3 product]$ ls -lrt vdt_agent*\nvdt_agent1:\ntotal 32\n-rw-r-----. 1 oracle oinstall   79 Dec 21 10:49 VAOH.sh\n-rw-r-----. 1 oracle oinstall 5037 Dec 21 10:49 agent.properties.sample\n-rw-r-----. 1 oracle oinstall  172 Dec 21 10:49 ReadMe.txt\n-rwxr-----. 1 oracle oinstall  261 Dec 21 10:49 configure_agent_ssl.sh\n-rwxr-----. 1 oracle oinstall 1057 Dec 21 10:49 agent.sh\n-rw-r-----. 1 oracle oinstall 5094 Dec 21 12:45 agent.properties\ndrwxr-x---. 3 oracle oinstall   62 Dec 21 12:47 config\ndrwxr-----. 2 oracle oinstall   57 Dec 21 12:47 logs\n\nvdt_agent2:\ntotal 32\n-rw-r-----. 1 oracle oinstall   79 Dec 21 14:11 VAOH.sh\n-rw-r-----. 1 oracle oinstall  172 Dec 21 14:11 ReadMe.txt\n-rw-r-----. 1 oracle oinstall 5037 Dec 21 14:11 agent.properties.sample\n-rwxr-----. 1 oracle oinstall  261 Dec 21 14:11 configure_agent_ssl.sh\n-rwxr-----. 1 oracle oinstall 1057 Dec 21 14:11 agent.sh\n-rw-r-----. 1 oracle oinstall 5050 Dec 21 14:12 agent.properties\ndrwxr-x---. 3 oracle oinstall   62 Dec 21 14:12 config<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><code>vdt_agent2<\/code> <strong>didn&#8217;t start<\/strong>, so there is <strong>no <code>logs<\/code> folder<\/strong> yet. But even if it had started before, the logs would not necessarily be updated. So, are we completely lost in this situation ? We first have to understand why there is no log at startup. Looking at the <code>agent.sh<\/code> script, we see the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>...\n  6 SCRIPT_DIR=\"`dirname \"$0\"`\"\n  7 AGENT_HOME=\"`cd \"$SCRIPT_DIR\" ; pwd`\"\n  8 export AGENT_HOME\n  9\n 10 . $AGENT_HOME\/VAOH.sh\n...\n 24   sed -i \"0,\/class=&#091;'\\\"]&#091;^'\\\"]*&#091;'\\\"]\/s|class=&#091;'\\\"]&#091;^'\\\"]*&#091;'\\\"]|cla    ss='oracle.core.ojdl.logging.ODLHandlerFactory'|\" \"$ODL_XML_PATH\"\n 25   echo \"Formatter type set to TEXT in odl.xml.\"\n 26 fi\n 27\n 28 $AGENT_ORACLE_HOME\/agent_int.sh \"$@\"<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><code>AGENT_HOME<\/code> refers to the agent deployed location, in our case it is <code>\/u01\/app\/oracle\/product\/vdt_agent2<\/code>. As for <code>AGENT_ORACLE_HOME<\/code>, it is defined in the <code>VAOH.sh<\/code> script sourced earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>AGENT_ORACLE_HOME=\/u01\/app\/oracle\/product\/vdt23\/agent\nexport AGENT_ORACLE_HOME<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>It simply refers to the <code>agent<\/code> directory inside your Veridata home directory. So all options of <code>agent.sh<\/code> are passed to <code>agent_int.sh<\/code>, which looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>...\n 59 case \"$1\" in\n 60     start)\n 61         nohup \"$JAVA_EXECUTABLE\" $JAVA_OPTS -jar \"$JAR_FILE\" $2 &gt;\/    dev\/null 2&gt;&amp;1 &amp;\n 62         ;;\n 63     run)\n 64         exec \"$JAVA_EXECUTABLE\" $JAVA_OPTS -jar \"$JAR_FILE\" $2\n 65         ;;\n 66     version)\n 67         exec \"$JAVA_EXECUTABLE\" $JAVA_OPTS -jar \"$JAR_FILE\" versio    n $2\n 68         ;;\n...<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>We have the culprit here ! The <code>start<\/code> and <code>run<\/code> options are identical: <code>start<\/code> discards any error message and moves the process to the background, while <code>run<\/code> displays errors in the terminal. Let&#8217;s try to start the agent with this option instead:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&#091;oracle@vmvdt vdt_agent2]$ .\/agent.sh run agent.properties\nFormatter type set to TEXT in odl.xml.\n#server.jdbcDriver=ojdbc11-23.2.0.0.jar\n&#091;VERIAGT-BOOT] INFO Looking for home directory.\n&#091;VERIAGT-BOOT] INFO Found bootstrap class in file:\/u01\/app\/oracle\/product\/vdt23\/agent\/JavaAgent.jar!\/com\/goldengate\/veridata\/agent\/BootstrapNextGen.class.\n&#091;VERIAGT-BOOT] INFO Home directory: \/u01\/app\/oracle\/product\/vdt23\/agent\n&#091;VERIAGT-BOOT] INFO AGENT_DEPLOY_PATH not set, falling back to homeDir.\n&#091;VERIAGT-BOOT] INFO Preparing classpath.\n&#091;VERIAGT-BOOT] ERROR \/u01\/app\/oracle\/product\/vdt_agent2\/ojdbc11-23.9.0.25.07.jar does not exist.
