Issue when connecting fabric to oracle using pipeline

Hi all 

I have an issue in fabric when I am trying to connect to oracle autonomous using a pipeline 

the goal is to Connect to oracle database , copy data into a lakehouse 

but when we do it i have this message :

 

Failed to open the Oracle database connection. Network Transport: SSL failure in parsing wallet location Illegal characters in path. ID d’activité: db4fc233-b0d0-456b-95dc-47e3de193990

 

the gateway that we use works Very good with power bi  (same connection to the same database)

have you an idea about whist i should do?

is there any issue with this kind of connection

Hi @SLI 

It looks like the issue is related to the wallet location path when trying to connect Fabric to Oracle Autonomous Database via a pipeline. Here are a few things you can check and try:

  1. Verify Wallet File Path:

    • The error message mentions "Illegal characters in path", which suggests that the wallet file path might contain special characters or spaces.
    • Try placing the wallet in a simple directory path (e.g., C:\Oracle\Wallet) and update the connection settings accordingly.
  2. Check SSL Configuration:

    • Since the error mentions "SSL failure in parsing wallet location", ensure that the wallet files (tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora, cwallet.sso, etc.) are correctly configured.
    • Confirm that the wallet file is correctly extracted and not nested inside another folder.
  3. Verify Gateway Configuration:

    • You mentioned that the same gateway works fine with Power BI. However, Fabric’s pipeline may have different requirements.
    • Ensure that the gateway has access to the wallet file path and is correctly set up for Fabric.
  4. Check for Special Characters in File Path:

    • If your wallet location contains characters like #, @, or spaces, try renaming the folder or moving the wallet to a simpler location.
  5. Try Using the Full UNC Path:

    • If you're using a shared network folder, try using the full UNC path instead of a mapped drive (e.g., \\ServerName\Folder\Wallet instead of Z:\Wallet).
  6. Test with SQL Developer or SQL*Plus:

    • Try connecting to the database with SQL Developer or SQL*Plus using the same wallet. If it fails, the issue might be with the wallet itself.
  7. Check Fabric’s Oracle Connector Documentation:
