Golden Gate Checkpoint Table Error: Could not Delete DB Checkpoint for REPLICAT

Recently while we were working on goldengate configuration on Exadata we faced below error while deleting the replicate process. Hope it will help you.

ERROR

GGSCI (dm01) 4> delete replicat EXREP1

ERROR: Could not delete DB checkpoint for REPLICAT EXREP1 (OCI Error ORA-00942: table or view does not exist (status = 942). Deleting from checkpoint table ogg.checkpointtable, group 'EXREP1', key 3261899073 (0xc26ca141), SQL <DELETE FROM ogg.checkpointtable  WHERE group_name = 'EXREP1' AND     group_key  = 3261899073>).

After getting above error we have checked whether EXREP1 has been deleted or not, but because of above error it has not been deleted.
