You can use the GoldenGate Logdump utility to view records in the GoldenGate trail files. The Logdump
utility is part of the regular GoldenGate software installation. Logdump lets you view the unstructured
trail data in hex and ASCII format and count the number of records in the trail for debugging purposes.
You can also filter the trail for desired records and save them to a new trail for reprocessing if needed.?
how to use logdump:
