I got the same issue. Find dms.jar from Oracle installation and put it under etc/app/dbx/bin/lib/dms.jar

For any future viewers, downloading the mysql jdbc connector and moving it into this same directory fixes similar errors for mysql.

Thanks, I'm still getting this error. I was wondering if their are a step by step procedure to configure an Oracle database connection, and what happen if i'm using Splunk free license , how gona calculate 500 MB per day from a database.

There are several DBX related logs that get added into the _internal index. Search for index=_internal source=*jbridge* and see if there is more information about the error there.
