MySQL Error 4067: Cannot Disable Auto-Position with GTID

📋

Description

This error occurs when an attempt is made to disable `SOURCE_AUTO_POSITION` for a replication channel. This action is not permitted if the channel is configured with `GTID_ONLY=1`, as GTID-based replication inherently relies on auto-positioning for proper synchronization.

💬

Error Message

SOURCE_AUTO_POSITION cannot be disabled for replication channel '%s' when GTID_ONLY=1.

Known Causes

3 known causes

⚠️

Direct Attempt to Disable Auto-Position

The `CHANGE REPLICATION SOURCE TO` (or `CHANGE MASTER TO`) statement explicitly tried to set `SOURCE_AUTO_POSITION=0`.

⚠️

GTID_ONLY Enabled on Channel

The target replication channel is configured to use GTID-based replication exclusively, which makes `SOURCE_AUTO_POSITION` a mandatory setting.

⚠️

Misunderstanding GTID Requirements

Users might attempt to disable auto-positioning without realizing its fundamental role in GTID-based replication for source-replica synchronization.
