Finally, I am able to resolve the problem. Seems ReadyAPI installs both 32-bit and 64-bit versions in the machine, I didn't know that I am acutally using the 32-bit version. Apparently the folder is different for the 32-bit version. It worked after I copied the files there. :) Re: ReadyAPI 2.3 Oracle JDBC Fails to Initiate in Data Source and/or JDBC Request You say you can connect to the db via sql developer. Have you got oracle client installed at all? Ans: Yes if you have it'll use the tnsnames.ora file by default despite attempting to setup connection via the thin driver Ans: Sorry, don't get this part. Should I be using a different conn string format then? Setup connection with db visualiser - Ans: Are you referring to the "configure" window in SoapUI? If this is a new software, sorry, I am not allowed to do that without proper business justification. You mention the db connection works on soapui v5.3.0 is this on the same machine as readyapi!? Or on a separate machine? Ans: Same Machine. Using Conn String format - jdbc:oracle:thin:<USER>/<PASSWORD>@//<HOST:127.0.0.1>:<PORT:1521>/<SID> Try upgrading and reconnecting Ans: Sorry cant do upgrade now. ReadyAPI 2.3 Oracle JDBC Fails to Initiate in Data Source and/or JDBC Request Getting below error while trying to connect to database from SoapUI Pro. Complete Error Descr:- "Failed to initialize the connection that uses the [oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver] driver. Connection string: [jdbc:oracle:thin:<username>/<password>@//<hostname>:<port>/<servicename>]." Please Note:- * Connection working fine with above string in the same client for SoapUI 5.3.x * Connection working fine in SQL Developer * Connection errors only in SoapUI Pro * JDBC Jar Files were copied under '.../Program Files\SmartBear\ReadyAPI-2.3.0\lib' folder * The lib folder has both ojdbc6.jar and ojdbc7.jar files * Connection String uses Service name Did I do anything wrong or missing something ? Please let me know if you need any further information. SolvedRe: ReadyAPI 2.3 Oracle JDBC Fails to Initiate in Data Source and/or JDBC Request Hi richie Thanks for your inputs. I tried, copied the files to bin/ext Restared app and then the machine. Still no luck. Still giving me the same error. Generate PDF File using Groovy I am new to SoapUI pro and Groovy scripting. Not sure if possible but, I am trying to utilize SoapUI pro, groovy test step, to write my own self-styled PDF reports. I will be extracting/generating the text content withing the code. But it definitely has to be a PDF document. Please let me if this can be acheived.
