Connection to an Oracle database without CID, but with Servicename

[abbas]

Hi everybody, I cann't configure the connection to Oracle database, because there is no CID. I must configure it just with servicename! Thanks for your support. Abbas

Hello Abbas,

The connection string templates in R!API are customizable. You can edit them on the "JDBC drivers" tab in preferences.

In your case, I guess, you need to replace 

jdbc:oracle:thin:<USER>/<PASSWORD>@<HOST:127.0.0.1>:<PORT:1521>:<SID>

with

jdbc:oracle:thin:<USER>/<PASSWORD>@<HOST:127.0.0.1>:<PORT:1521>/SERVICE

where instead of "SERVICE" you need to provide your real service name (e.g. "orcl").

You probably want to go with Nathalie's advice above, but if you want to change the Connection string for just one JDBC request, you could change the Configuration Connection to <None>. This will make the Connection string, Driver and password fields editable.

Thank you for this message, but I tried it and got the following error:

Failed to init connection for driver [oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver], connectionString [jdbc:oracle:thin:/@:1521/SHOPTEST]

!!!

Cheers

The error message seems to indicate that the host name is missing in the connection string. Did you delete it by accident?

Did you use Nathalie's approach or the one I suggested?

Oracle Host name is missing in your case.

I used the following configuration:

 Driver: OracleThin/oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver

Connection String template: jdbc:oracle:thin:<catalog>/<catalog>@<HOST:10.7.1.50>:<PORT:1521>/SHOPTEST

and I have contact to the named database with SQL Developer, but I get the following error:

" Failed to init connection for driver [oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver], connectionString [jdbc:oracle:thin:/@10.7.1.50:1521/SHOPTEST] "

What I did:

1-  in config Coection String template like above

2- Database Configuration -->New

      Driver: OracleThin/oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver

      Host: 10.7.1.50

      Port: 1521

3: Click Test connection ---> Result: Erorr:

" Failed to init connection for driver [oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver], connectionString [jdbc:oracle:thin:/@10.7.1.50:1521/SHOPTEST] "

And the same problem with the following Connection String:

jdbc:oracle:thin:catalog/catalog@HOST:ractest-scan:PORT:1521/SHOPTEST

Looks something trivial.

Hi Rao,

I am also facing the same issue and when using the String suggested in stack overflow it's working fine but still when try to configure the Db connection it says SID is mandatory field.

What input should i give in SID field.
