Handling shrink space operations

When a SHRINK SPACE operation occurs, Replicate will capture all of the changes logged to the redo log as a result of the operation and ignore them.

The following message will appear in the task’s log file:

Operations generated by the SHRINK SPACE process were ignored.

Monitoring considerations

When Replicate captures changes resulting from a SHRINK SPACE operation, the task’s Incoming Changes bar will indicate an unusually large number of changes. However, these changes will not be reflected in the Applied Changes pie chart or the Applied Changes Details table.

See also the Limitations and considerations section for the limitations related to SHRINK SPACE operations in Replicate Log Reader and LogMiner mode.
