Oracle Connection Issue

Stevej028

I had successfully made a connection to Oracle database and was  both reading and writing to a couple of tables.  I attempted to make the same connection in a new workflow and I am receiving a connection error: ORA-28759: Failure to open file.  

 

What is strange is that if I open a the previous saved workflows with tables connected to that database, the workflows run with no issue. 

 

Has anyone experienced anything similar and found a solution?

Hi @Stevej028 ,
I would only recognise this issue to be a difference in your oracle input, I would recommend copying the one from the workflow that works and pasting it into the new workflow, just to check if that works. As far as I'm aware, any credentials that are in the first file will be carried over and it should work exactly the same. 

If that doesn't work, then I'm not actually that sure why this would be, ORA-28759 seems to be a permissions issue, but if you have it working on one workflow It should definitely work on another if replicated.

Thanks for the response OC, unfortunately that's not an option as I need to access other tables that are in the database.  I've double checked the credentials, and also tried to use the recent connections and neither work to make a new connection.

 

You would think of something changed, the older workflows would have issue also.
