Database move to new server: ORA-12514, TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in

Daniel Schillig

Hi!

in our Test environment we try to move the Confluence DB Server to a new Hardware.

The DBA did an export/ import to the new Server. Both DBs are Oracle. 

We have done the changes to the confluence.cfg.xml file as adviced here:  Link 

• We changed these parameters:
  <property name="hibernate.connection.password">xxxxxxxxxx</property
• <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:oracle:thin:@//xxxxxxxxx:1521/CONFxxxx.xxx.xxx</property>
• <property name="hibernate.connection.username">conflxxxuser</property>

When we try to restart the Application, the logs tell us:

Caused by: org.hibernate.HibernateException: com.zaxxer.hikari.pool.HikariPool$PoolInitializationException: Failed to initialize pool: Listener refused the connection with the following error:
ORA-12514, TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor

 

What do we miss here? Any help is more than welcome.

Thanks!

Hi @Daniel Schillig ,

it seems that DB is not reachable from the confluence server. Please check if there are network issues between serers communication.

This is a troubleshooting article for bamboo https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamkb/bamboo-fails-with-error-ora-12514-tns-listener-does-not-currently-know-of-service-requested-in-connect-descriptor-1093993327.html but should fit also your scenario.

Hope this helps,

Fabio
