Using DevTest task to execute Test Cases through Jenkins.

The Test Case connects to an Oracle Database and queries it.

The same Test Case, when staging on the DevTest Server, runs with no errors.

When the same Test Case gets executed through junitlisa task its throws the following error:

[junitlisa] java.sql.SQLRecoverableException: Listener refused the connection with the following error:

[junitlisa] ORA-12514, TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor

This is an configuration issue in Jenkins to make a JDBC connection to Oracle database.

As seen from the example below,  running a Test Case with one JDBC step querying an Oracle database from ANT outside of Jenkins.

1) Download ANT.  

2) Set ANT_HOME system environment variable.

3) Get the junit jar file to put in the ANT_HOME\lib folder.

4) Run your xml from ANT:

C:\CA\DevTest9.5.1\examples>ant -buildfile oracle_jdbc.xml

Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_121\lib\tools.jar

You can see the database call in the Simulator log:

5) If you get the same error with these steps please of a case with CA Support and we will be happy to assist you.

Other verification:

We used a tool called DB Visualizer to connect to an Oracle Database and was getting the same error:

<Please see attached file for image>

 Made one change to resolve it, changes the Connection Type to go against the ORACLE SID and it resolves the error:

<Please see attached file for image>

All supported DevTest releases and platforms.

So the problem is that the Oracle database being queried is not aware of the Jenkins service.

You will have to configure Jenkins to be able to make JDBC calls to your Oracle database.

There have been other issues with running tests from Jenkins to Oracle getting the same error:

It was searched and found Jenkins provides a Database Plugin for JDBC connections, but not sure how it is used, you should contact your Jenkins group to help with this kind of issue, for this example others where running the same kind of JUNITLISA tests, but going to DB2 instead of Oracle.:
