DB connect 4.2.0 version identities and connections are working fine but while trying to get the logs using SQL query getting error - Error in 'dbxquery' command:External search command exited unexpectedly

Same SQL query is working fine in version 3.9.0
(Note - We are not upgradinging DB connect
We have installed a fresh DB connect app in a new server and configuring each and every input)
