OGG-15051 oracle.goldengate.util.GGException: Class not found: “kafkahandler”

Published Jul 29, 2016 by in Apache Kafka, Goldengate, Ogg, Ogg-15051 at https://rmoff.net/2016/07/29/ogg-15051-oracle.goldengate.util.ggexception-class-not-found-kafkahandler/

Similar to the previous issue, the sample config in the docs causes another snafu:

OGG-15051  Java or JNI exception:
oracle.goldengate.util.GGException:  Class not found: "kafkahandler". kafkahandler
 	Class not found: "kafkahandler". kafkahandler

This time it’s in the kafka.props file:

gg.handler.kafkahandler.Type = kafka

Should be

gg.handler.kafkahandler.type = kafka

No capital T in Type!
