It appears to be failing with the swap-space issues, & similar behavior has been observed with the 23ai for simplicity I tried with 21c GoldenGate.
Hence I took one step further & tried adding swap space by changing the Dockerfile, however turning on swap space isn't allowed

To me none of the combinations are working with the goldengate even with the 12c-19c & the documentation does not mention how the architecture ensures the High Availability of the GoldenGate when deployed onto Container solutions/Serverless solutions & what would happen when the pod goes down when deployed on a multi-pod environment.
PS: I tried adding Root permissions as well to the Dockerfile, and it has the same behaviour USER root
Hi there, to the best of my knowledge it is by default forbidden to use swap on kubernetes and some other container environments. Kubernetes Versions >1.26 have experimental swap support which needs activation first. But there is some good news: I tested with the latest GoldenGate 23ai (the new long term release), and that version works without hazzle! GG just throws a message that it is running on a no-swap system on startup, and replicats and extracts will startup properly even without any swap. But beware, GG can consume all Your servers memory if it needs to, unless You specify CACHEMGR parameters to limit that.
Does that help You a bit ?
