GoldenGate started reading a record, expected more data to follow, but the file ended abruptly. The process realizes the data structure is incomplete and triggers an "abend" (abnormal end) to prevent data corruption or logical inconsistencies downstream.
Look for the exact trail file name and sequence number, e.g.: /goldengate/dirdat/ab000123 ogg-01184 expected 4 bytes but got 0 bytes in trail
This guarantees no corruption, but it’s time-consuming for large databases. GoldenGate started reading a record, expected more data

Set CHECKPOINTRETENTIONTIME to ensure you have enough historical trail files to recover from if a recent one becomes corrupted. OGG-01184 - Oracle GoldenGate Error Messages
