Troubleshooting


Problem

Receiving error : An exception has occurred in the log parser. IBM InfoSphere Change Data Capture encountered an error while processing data for table with id xxxxxxxxxx and name "dbo"."tablename". The error could be related to DDL done on the table recently or in the past. Please rebuild the table and refresh to reposition past the current log position. Please review Microsoft documentation possible options to rebuild the table. IBM InfoSphere Change Data Capture detected that the Microsoft SQL Server internal metadata does not contain a format for sequenced variable length columns. This could be the result of a structural change to the table, such as a DDL statement, having occurred.

Symptom
