When trying to ues the Splunk DB Connect App, to attempt to connect to my Oracle DB in splunk, I was getting the following error.

Error: Encountered the following error while trying to update: In handler ‘localapps’: Error while posting to url=/servicesNS/nobody/dbx/dbx/install/java

I found another person in the Splunk “Answers” forum and nobody answered either of us, so I dug deep into the logs and found the problem.

The problem is, that Splunk is looking in Program Files/Java/Jre7/bin/ for a folder in bin called server containing a a jvm.dll – the server folder nor the jvm.dll did not exist.

After alot of searching (and re installing Java with no avail) I discovered jvm.dll in Program Files/Java/Jre7/bin/client – so what you need to do to fix this random Java error when adding a database in the DB app in Splunk is: copy the client folder in jre7/bin and rename it to server and place it in jre7/bin – make sure it contains jvm.dll and boom your all set. Restart Splunk and everything will work fine.

Check out my blog with my solution posted there also kaloidistech.com/wordpress/?p=73

I am getting this exact error also.

I eneabled SSL, as instructed by the DB Config docs.

I am using C:Program Files (x86)Javajre7 for the Java Home config setting - but no matter what I put there (variations of the above URL, removing the last or adding bin to the end of the URL or removing jre7 from the end) - but nothing works and I keep getting that same error

Any help would be great!!
Thanks
