DB Connect: Error in 'script': Getinfo probe failed for external search command 'dbquery'

Hello Everyone, I'm running Splunk Enterprise 6.2 and have the DB Connect app configured to communicate with a local Oracle Database. The connection appears to be established but when I attempt to run a query I get an error:

Error in 'script': Getinfo probe failed for external search command 'dbquery'

The Java Bridge server is running ... I can run similar queries using SQL Developer and they return very quickly and with only a few rows. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here ? The user I have configured definitely has the correct privileges. Any suggestions would be appreciated, Thank you

Thank you
