Hi Valdimir, 

 

I have tried using connection string as you mentioned

jdbc:oracle:thin:<USERNAME/PASSWORD@HOST>:<PORT>:<SID>

I am getting 

"ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor" error. 

I don't have SID  to establish connection using SoapUI pro. 

As mentioned in thread question, I am trying to connect using Service name.

 

Can you please let me know How can I establish Oracle Thin JDBC connection using Service name in SOAPUI Pro?

    May be you check with other clients such as Oracle Developer or Toad or command line sqlplus and see if that works.

      But when I try to establish same connection using SOAPUI Pro it is asking for SID and getting error mentioned above.

        Is there any way to connect to Oracle DB with Service name ? I am also facing the same error while connecting with service Name . Is Sid the only way for making the connection?
