Are you able to ping that machine using hostname?
You may try with IP Address of the database.

Hi nmrao

 

I guess that I have a couple issues here, the reason we use tnsnames is the ip changes, so it is hard to do that.

 

Also, where would I tell SoapUI to use a specific IP of a database from cmd line or TestRunner?  I know that creating a jdbc Test Step would let me do that if I configured it so. However it seems like TestRunner is not picking that up.

      To answer your previous request.

       

      Sure, I can connect to the database with the IP address from a Test Step.  

       

      However, that will not resolve my issue.
