Oracle DB connection setup in WEBCON BPS
1

Hi everyone, I’m trying to set up a connection from WEBCON BPS (2025 R2) to an Oracle database, but the documentation I found is quite limited. It only shows fields like user, password, and service name, but there’s nothing about host, port, a full connection string, or any driver requirements.
Apologies if I missed something obvious — maybe the documentation is out there and I just couldn't find it.
So my questions are:
How exactly does WEBCON connect to an Oracle database?
Do I need to install any specific driver or client (like ODP.NET, Oracle Client, etc.)?
Where do I configure host and port — or are they handled automatically?
Is there any example of a working connection string or full setup?
I’d really appreciate any tips or examples from someone who’s already done this.

Hi
You don't need to install drivers on the WEBCON server if you want to connect to the ORACLE database. Make the configuration in data sources -> Connections -> Oracle Database -> enter the connection details for the Oracle instance and account.
Remember to ensure that the IP network connection and port are accessible between the WEBCON server and ORACLE.
