GoldenGate abending – Unable to open file

The GoldenGate data pump was abending on the source:

GGSCI (uiiompd17) 1> info all
 
Program     Status      Group       Lag at Chkpt  Time Since Chkpt
 
MANAGER     RUNNING

EXTRACT     RUNNING     EXAxxxx     00:00:00      00:00:02    

The GoldenGate error log contained the below message:

2016-12-17 07:22:13  ERROR   OGG-01031  Oracle GoldenGate Capture for Oracle, dpumprp.prm:  There is a problem in network communication, a remote file problem, encryption keys for target and source do not match (if using ENCRYPT) or an unknown error. (Reply received is Unable to open file "/ggs//dirdat/rp013263" (error 11, Resource temporarily unavailable)).

The file directory that was being reported was for the target of the GoldenGate process. On the target side, the file did exist and there were no issues with the file system, mount point etc. I moved the file as follows:

mv /ggs//dirdat/rp013263 /ggs//dirdat/rp013263.old

I then restarted the abended data pump and normal processing was resumed.
