Connect to Oracle by ServiceName

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction;

Recently a provider changed the connection parameters for Oracle and they no longer use SID; they connect by ServiceName.

1. How can I omit the SID in a JDBC connection string? If I leave out the SID Lucee throws and invalid format of the connection string; if I add it the server returns does not know of SID given by connector.

2. Same issue if I try to connect via an Oracle connections (as opposed to a jdbc driver)

Any ideas?

by provider you mean a third party db, or do you run the oracle server?

in regards to 2, you're saying sqlplus and tnsping also are failing?

it's been a while since i worked with oracle, but the first thing i'd be doing

is looking at the listener.ora file on the database server

btw which version of lucee?

Lucee 5

It's a 3rd party provider, so I don't have access to Oracle, just the connection. They have disabled SID for security reasons and only allow connections via ServiceName. The issue isn't on the Oracle side, but how Lucee expects the JDBC connection string to be formatted. I can't omit the SID; Lucee doesn't like that. Attempting to use ODBC isn't an option as it again attempts to connect via SID.

Just wondering if anyone has a work around or driver for JDBC.

Modifying the Oracle.cfc files doesn't appear to have any effect; pretty sure the OracleDriver is expecting an SID (regardless of how you format the dsn string).

So I guess its not so much Lucee as it is the oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver?

Ignore that - updated wrong Lucee install. Modifying Oracle.cfc worked.

Thanks,
