Oracle connection string



  • Hi,

    I am trying to add an Oracle database provider for my application in Buildmaster.

    The connection string to the Oracle database. The standard format for this is:

    DATA SOURCE=myServerAddress; USER ID=myUsername; PASSWORD=myPassword
    

    I tried the following ways:

    DATA Source=<value from tnsnames.ora>;USER ID=<myusername>;PASSWORD=<mypassword>;
    

    Gave me an error:

    An unexpected error occurred while attempting to connect. ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified 
    
    DATA Source=<server ip:port:servicename>;USER ID=<myusername>;PASSWORD=<mypassword>;
    

    Gave an error
    ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist

    DATA Source=@<server ip:port:servicename>;USER ID=<myusername>;PASSWORD=<mypassword>;
    

    Gave an error

    An unexpected error occurred while attempting to connect. ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified 
    

    I am able to connect to the required Oracle through SQL Plus. So the value in tnsnames.ora in Oracle is correct.

    What am I missing?

    Thanks



  • I was able to resolve this issue using this format:

    DATA Source=<value from tnsnames.ora>;USER ID=<myusername>;PASSWORD=<mypassword>;
    

    I restarted my system to restart Oracle.

    Then Test Connection was successful after that.
