Oracle Golden Gate Replicat : GGS ERROR 171 Unknown data type received <0x54 49>

I am trying to run an initial load as shown in the tutorial at http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/fmw/goldengate/11g/GGS_Sect_Config_WinUX_ORA_to_WinUX_ORA.pdf and I am seeing this error in the REPLICAT process.

I have tried using the SOURCEDEFS clause as well (Even though the source and Target structures are exactly similar), but I run into the same issue.

I'd appreciate any advice on fixing this issue.

Thanks, Rajesh.

Looks like the error is because we have ASM set up at our place.. and I ignored this part of the tutorial Guide..

Note: When Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM) is in use, the TRANLOGOPTIONS ASMUSER and ASMPASSWORD must be set in the Extract parameter file. For more information refer to the GoldenGate for Windows & UNIX Administrator and Reference manuals.

Posting the reply here so that It'd be useful for anyone running into the same "issue" later.

Thanks for all the advice so far.!
