Error when hitting peoplesoft server:

Question

Hi All,
I am trying to hit people soft server using JDBC communication channel. XI Version is 3.0...i am using below parameters as the backend of peoplesoft is ORACLE,
JDBC Driver :    oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
Connecttion :    jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:database name
User Name  :    xxx
Password    :    xx
Attempt to establish database connection failed with SQL error Cannot establish connection to URL 'jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:database name': SQLException: Io exception: Connection refused(DESCRIPTION=(TMP=)(VSNNUM=169870080)(ERR=12505)(ERROR_STACK=(ERROR=(CODE=12505)(EMFI=4))))
Later changed the default port from 1521 to 12345 as suggested by people soft team and got the below error.
I am getting "Attempt to establish database connection failed with SQL error Cannot establish connection to URL 'jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:12345:database name': SQLException: Io exception: Got minus one from a read call"
I tried out various possibilities by using local host name as server name once and next IP address also..but getting the above errors.
Kindly suggest me with the appropriate solution.
Thanks,
Goutham

Hi,
  Check the DB connection string.which oracle  server peoplesoft using.
Oracle OCI 8i
jdbc:oracle:oci8:@<SID>
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
Oracle OCI 9i
jdbc:oracle:oci:@<SID>
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
Oracle Thin
jdbc:oracle:thin:@<HOST>:<PORT>:<SID>
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
If oracle thin server then check the drivers installed for connectivity.Like,
Oracle 10g drivers:
