MySQL Error 4069: Missing Replication Position

📦 MySQL
📋

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.
