title: How to fix OGG-01163 in oracle goldenGate
body: <p>Have an error in my *.rpt file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>2019-09-26 17:58:56  ERROR   OGG-01163  Bad column length (56) specified for column AUTHORISATION_ID in table TCPF.OPERATION, maximum allowable length is 40
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When the extract started the colum length was 40. Then it was extended to 200. DDLs are not replicated. Replicat is created with Java handler with no target DB and so this length mismatch makes no problem.</p>
  
  <p>The replicat stopped abended at this record and won't budge. The following option in the RPT file didn't help:</p>
  
  <pre><code>reperror 01163, ignore
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>as this is for only Oracle DB errors.</p>
  
  <p>Please help!</p>
