Hello

 

I have an Aletryx workflow that is scheduled to a run python code. The pyhton code is creating dynamic oracle database connections using cx_Oracle package.

This works fine in the designer and i get expected results.

However when we schedule it on the gallery/server - it fails with error:

(cx_Oracle.DatabaseError) ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified (Background on this error at: http://sqlalche.me/e/4xp6)

 

this is only happening in the gallery. Kindly suggest

Did you ensure that the same drivers you have on your machine are on the server as well?
