Note -- The above is the problemetic record where the column comm_need_flg is having some wrong data, also this
particular record is in the middle of the trasaction (TransInd   :     .  (x01)), so all the records from the
begining to this transaction will be rolled backed by ogg.

Note -- The above is the next record of the problemetic record. We can start the replicat from this RBA.
Before that we need to handle the previous records in this transaction.




>>-- Add the below parameters in the abended replicat group and start the replicat. This parameter will
commit the records one by one so all the records will be commited and the replicat will get abend when
exactly it reaches the problemtic record.


grouptransops 1
maxtransops 1


>>-- Now take the export of that particualr record from the source and import to the target table.


>>-- Now alter the replicat to the next good RBA which we have identified by logdump (RBA 821569564).

>>-- Remove the params  GROUPTRANSOPS 1 and MAXTRANSOPS 1 from the replciat group.
