We are currently evaluating Debezium as a tool for generating CDC events from INSERTs, UPDATEs and DELETEs occurring in our Oracle (version 12..2.0.1) instances.

Our Oracles instances run in the tradionational (non-CDB) mode. According to the Debezium documentation this set-up has not been tested yet but should work nevertheless. Actually it does not. Following error occurrs:
