Getting Data In

db connect inputs not saving

Hi,

I have a db connect database input entry which won't save my entry. Has anyone seen this, or is there something that I can look at? I want to remove the Timestamp column. I make it blank and save it, but when I go back in, it's back to the original entry.

I have the same problem.

Cannot save an Oracle Identity's password - thus Pulling user get's looked after some, justly, as it tries to connect with wrong (old) password

I have this config-save problems with other configs too in DB Connect.

regards
Altin

Any other solution would help me.

It was saving the records till day before yesterday. But yesterday data was missing. The dbinput input is executed but failed to save.

This happens only for particular input. It works when I delete and create new.
But wanted to know what is causing the problem.
