Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

I use Oracle with a similar connect string and it works fine…

 

jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(FAILOVER=on)(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=server1.school.edu)(PORT=1521))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=server2.school.edu)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=mysid)))

 

Do you have the same oracle jdbc driver on both?  Do you want to try to upgrade it to the latest?

 

Are you trying from the same machine (ui and gsh)? 

 

If you are using the same driver, with the same config string, from the same machine, and the difference is UI vs GSH, then there shouldn’t be a difference since those do a similar thing.  J

 

You probably know this, but the thing to google is “Io exception: NL Exception was generated”, there are a bunch of results, though I didn’t see any that help in this case J

 

Let me know if you make progress or not and maybe I can help more J

 

Thanks,

Chris

Subject: [grouper-users] Grouper API with Oracle RAC - hibernate.connection.url

 

We're having a problem configuring the value for the hibernate.connection.url for our Oracle 10g RAC database.  We can't get the grouper shell (gsh) to work with the RAC TNSNames value.  Grouper and the UI work, just not the shell.  Here's the error we get when starting the shell:

I can get the shell to work if I specify just one node of the RAC database (hibernate.connection.url = "), but then neither Grouper nor the shell will work if node 1 is down. 

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Eileen
