Creating first New CDC Instance though CDC Designer New Instance Wizard. Everything seems to work as expected until the last step, "Save source database properties", fails with details:
- An asymmetric key was not created.
- This may occur when the Oracle CDC service is stopped.
- Please make sure the Oracle CDC service is started and then manually re-enter the Oracle log mining password for this Oracle CDC instance.
But the service is running on the CDC application/Service Server ... Prior to this step, the CDC Instance database is created on the SQL server and the MSXDBCDC database tables are updated with the entries referencing the service and instance - so
everything looks to be ok.
If I try to start the instance, I, predictably, get errors as follows:
timestamp,type,node,status,sub_status,status_message,source, text_data,binary_data

Any suggestions on how to get past this point?
