Well, we got it to work. Apparently there is a bug in their system when you
copy a job schedule to make a new one, it doesn’t work. If you create a job
schedule from scratch, it works. That was after the technical person insisted
that they needed RDP access to the database server and the database login
needed sysdba privs, neither of which they were going to get.

Not used aspirin but my money would be on a (lack of) environment (variable)
setting in the scheduler.

Does anyone use Spirion against their Oracle databases? We are testing against
an Oracle 19.13 database. If we start the scan interactively, it works. If we
try to run the scan through the Spirion scheduler, it fails, saying it can’t
connect to the database. Spirion is insisting that it’s an Oracle issue, even
though the Oracle client on the Spirion server can connect to the database.
If anyone has run into this and knows what the issue is, I’d appreciate you
letting me know. The Spirion technical person insists that it isn’t their
problem.
Thank you,
