Troubleshooting


Problem

After applying Oracle Patch DATABASE RELEASE UPDATE 19.25.0.0, 19.24.0.0.0 or 19.23.0.0.0 one of the following errors is received from IBM DataDirect JDBC Driver for Oracle used to connect to XMETA, DSODB or IA:
Error: "Array index out of range: 0" 
or
The server exceeded the driver's maximum cipher strength.

The issue is intermittent. Sometimes test connection from WAS Admin console will work and other times fail.
 
Test connection from WAS Admin console shows:
java.sql.SQLException: [IBM][Oracle JDBC Driver] Array index out of range: -1 DSRA0010E. SQLSTATE: HY000
