....Cause
JDBC Url format incorrect in bitbucket.properties.
bitbucket.properties
1
jdbc.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@//dfw-vu-devodb1.uat.svbank.com:1526:DEVOPSPOCDBResolution
Changed the Url as follows:
bitbucket.properties
1
jdbc.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@//dfw-vu-devodb1.uat.svbank.com:1526/DEVOPSPOCDBThere should be a slash "/" rather than a colon ":" before the database name/SID.
