一直运行正常的extract进程突然hang住了，起初怀疑是不是找不到归档所致，但是细细的检查了下，extract所需的归档都还在，而且日志中也没报任何错。而且将extract进程停掉后，也能正常起来，没有任何错误或者告警：

从日志中看，extract进程没有问题，但是extract进程实际上是运行不正常的：

GGSCI (hxddlis01) 8> info all

Program Status Group Lag at Chkpt Time Since Chkpt

MANAGER RUNNING
JAGENT RUNNING
EXTRACT RUNNING ELIS 96:14:58 00:00:04

EXTRACT RUNNING PLIS 00:00:00 00:00:09
extract进程的lag越来越大，而且trail文件也不再增长。这情况真是让人一头雾水。我们先来看看当前系统的运行环境：

GoldenGate：11.2.1.0.27
Database: 11.2.0.3 两节点的RAC，使用ASM
OS: AIX 6.1
然后搜索Oracle Support，，找到一篇文章1432994.1，和碰到的情形有点相像。在我们的环境中也是使用了DBLOGREADER，但是不同的是DBLOGREADERBUFSIZE已经配置成1M：

...
TRANLOGOPTIONS BUFSIZE 1048576
TRANLOGOPTIONS DBLOGREADER, DBLOGREADERBUFSIZE 1048576
--TRANLOGOPTIONS _NOREADAHEAD ANY
EXTTRAIL /ogg/ggate/data/dirext/lis/ea
...
这也是AIX下能配置的最大值。难道该值还是太大的缘故？所以就尝试将该值改成了512K：

...
TRANLOGOPTIONS BUFSIZE 1048576
TRANLOGOPTIONS DBLOGREADER, DBLOGREADERBUFSIZE 524288
--TRANLOGOPTIONS _NOREADAHEAD ANY
EXTTRAIL /ogg/ggate/data/dirext/lis/ea
...
然后重启extract进程，结果就正常了。估计使用DBLOGREADER还是有不少的bug。
