Issue/Introduction

After configuring an Oracle database scan target, the job runs and immediately fails with an error without scanning any content.

 

Reviewing the FileReader log on the detection server running the scan, the following error can be seen:

Cause

A malformed content root for the Oracle database has been configured in the scan target. 

Resolution

Configure the target as follows:

 

oracle:@//servername:port/instance

For example:

oracle:@//127.0.0.1:1521/oracleinstancename
