Hi @gcusello  ,

While running the following search we are getting error as stated in topic.

Search:

 

|dbquery wmsqlprd "select REC_TYPE, CODE_TYPE, CODE_DESC, SHORT_DESC, USER_ID from SYS_CODE_TYPE"

 

Error:

command="dbquery", Error getting database connection: ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied

Please help to fix this.

From the error message, it's clear that the Oracle credentials are not configured correctly.

Check the database credential configuration on the DB  connect and make sure the user name and especially the password is configured correctly.
