error while connecting to Oracle 8 from PI 7.1

[Former Member]

I am trying the connect oracel 8.0 from PI 7.1,

I am getting following error in communication channel monitoring

"Exception caught during JDBC adapter processing: java.lang.NullPointerException "

at the same time I can connect to oracle 10g smoothly without any error.

Please suggest what would be the reason.

Hi

You also require Java version 1.3 or 1.2 to support this driver on your machine. Because classes12.jar not support Java 1.4. So install Java 1.3 or lower version.

You can have both Java version 1.3 and 1.4 on your machine. Now select both version through control pannel.

Control Pannel->Java->Java tab->View tab(Lower one)->Check check box infront of both version.

Hi,

First make sure that you provided the proper drivername, url and Userid and password.

Still you are getting then try to reinstall the drivers in SAP XI.

Hi dharamveer,

this error is usually found in case the connection url is provided incorrectly.

Confirm on that. Also, reactivate your adapter and try again. Might be a cache issue.
