Can you tell more about this?

  • Where you are getting this?
  • What you have actually try/done?
  • What is your environment?
  • What DB you have?
  • What are your versions (splunk, dbx, jdbc drivers/packages, OS, target db etc.)
  • Is this db_input or something else?
  • Or are you initially configure your DB Connection to source DB?
