Upgrading User Exits

The usrdecs.h file is versioned to allow backward compatibility with existing user exits when enhancements or upgrades, such as new functions or structural changes, are added to a new Oracle GoldenGate release. The version of the usrdecs.h file is printed in the report file at the startup of Replicat or Extract.

To use new user exit functionality, you must recompile your routines to include the new usrdecs file. Routines that do not use new features do not need to be recompiled.
