Thanks Richie.

 

Actually I found a work around. 

 

We could use the below format for JDBC url to connect to Oracle DB on TCPS and use generated Java cacerts.

JDBCURL:

USER/PASS_VALUE@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCPS)(HOST=hostname)(PORT=2484))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=servicename)))

 

ReadyApi did not provide a way to configure JDBC url with this format. So I have updated the project.xml file to reflect the above format and it works now.

Hey RajuK,

Great that you sorted it!

Just to be clear, ReadyAPI! does support what you need. That string youve included below that starts JDBCURL is actually the string that gets added to your tnsnames.ora file when the db is created.

You just needed to edit and update the default oracle JDBC connection string (within the ReadyAPI! JDBC Preferences) to add in the required parameters defined within that tnsnames value youve included below.

Nice one,

Rich

    Yes,

    Except I could not do "edit within the ReadyAPI! JDBC Preferences", hence I updated the xml file using xml editor.

      RajuK,

      Really? That's weird...always been able to edit them before, otherwise you wouldnt be able to add in any further db connections that arent included within the default listing.

      What version of ReadyAPI! are you running?

      Could you provide a screenshot of the jdbc preferences after attempting to select a row in the form window? Might be able to work out whats wrong, cos you should definitely be able to edit those settings!

      Ta

        SmartBear provided a solution which I am going to try.

        And like you said there is a way to update the JDBC .

        I am going to try today. Thanks.

         

        Solution from Smart Bear:

        -Doracle.net.tns_admin={file location} in the {ReadyAPI install}\bin\ReadyAPI.vmoptions

         

        After this, you can add a new connection string template or modify an existing one in Preferences > JDBC Drivers:
        jdbc:oracle:thin:<USER>/<PASSWORD>@<TNSName>

        In this case, you will need to use the manual JDBC Request test step configuration. Choose None for the Connection and click Configure. Fill in your credentials in the Database configuration dialog and specify the TNSName in the Connection string field.
