MySQL Error 4069: Missing Replication Position
Description
This error occurs when a user attempts to disable `SOURCE_AUTO_POSITION` for a replication channel using the `CHANGE REPLICATION SOURCE TO` statement. MySQL requires explicit `SOURCE_LOG_FILE` and `SOURCE_LOG_POS` parameters when automatic position tracking is turned off, as the system needs a precise point to resume replication from.
Error Message
When disabling SOURCE_AUTO_POSITION FOR CHANNEL '%s' you must provide SOURCE_LOG_FILE and SOURCE_LOG_POS as source positions are invalid.
Known Causes
3 known causesIncomplete Replication Command
The `CHANGE REPLICATION SOURCE TO` command was issued to disable `SOURCE_AUTO_POSITION` without simultaneously specifying the `SOURCE_LOG_FILE` and `SOURCE_LOG_POS`.
Misconfigured Manual Position Switch
An attempt was made to switch from automatic to manual replication source positioning without understanding the mandatory requirement for providing explicit log file and position details.
Scripting or Automation Oversight
An automated script or configuration management tool failed to include the necessary source position parameters when attempting to disable `SOURCE_AUTO_POSITION`.
