SOAPUI PRO: Using Add API throws "unable to read location" error

I am attempting to add an api through a json file into readyapi 3.2.5 so I can use it for test cases in soapui pro.  But I keep getting this error below in the logs and the api doesn't get added.  I've put the file in various locations  (C: drive, 😧 drive, desktop) to no avail.   What causes this error to occur and how can I resolve it?

    Dear Rich,

     

    Thanks much for your response. I found and applied a working solution yesterday.

    That solutions resonates with what you have mentioned. What I did -

    1. In Settings (readyAPI) -> JDBC . Added new Driver and Connection String Template to accommodate Oracle ServiceName (jdbc:oracle:thin:<USER>/<PASSWORD>@<HOST:127.0.0.1>:<PORT:1521>/<ODBC_DSN_NAME>) connection.

    2. Since my ServiceName was containing "_" character. I received below warning and hence as suggested added the following parameter to \bin\ReadyAPI.vmoptions file.

    "The character '_' is not supported in JDBC connections strings since Java 17.0.3 and since ReadyAPI 3.41.0.
    Please remove the invalid characters or please try to use the JVM option -Dcom.sun.jndi.ldapURLParsing="legacy".      "

    3. I received this error message-"java.sql.SQLException: ORA-28040: No matching authentication protocol" , so downgraded the oracle jdbc connecter jar from ojdbc14.jar to ojdbc8.jar in \bin\ext folder.

     

    This solution worked for me and hope this solution helps someone !

     

    Cheers,

    Vikash

      Thank you Himanshu.  I've now tried that but it did not help the issue.    I suspect the issue is in the structure of the json file.  I have two files and both are swagger based.  One works fine for one API, but the other file doesn't.  The problem is I want to add the api of the file that isn't working for me.  I also don't want to have to extensively edit it to 'make it work' as that is not sustainable for future updates.

       

      Attached are two screenshots from the json objects.  I'm not sure if you can tell anything from this high level detail or not.  I can provide a bit more detail if needed.

       

      Thank you so much for your ongoing assistance.
