Content
Process:
The data loss is unpredictable and occurs at the communications layer when the comms queue becomes full. This behavior will not be obvious to the user.
Possible Consequence/Impact:
Data Loss
Workaround:
There is a field work-around. Set the SOURCE system parameter global_statistics_blocking_threshold_milliseconds to a very high value, such as 6854775808,
followed by a restart of the CDC instance
Fix Availability
The permanent fix for this issue is expected to be available on Oct. 31, 2011
