Tried switching the connect=<value> argument to have a simple/single tnsnames.ora servicename for the HR DB, and hardcoding the HR DB user password in the odihragent line as well, but same problem persits.

The command line odihragent works, does not produce any errors, and successfully creates the odiHRAgent.dat in the import directory, i.e.:



As a workaround, another simlar HR to OID import sync profile works fine as long as it is not associated with / does not use the odihragent command, i.e., it works when using JDBC Profile Type set in the DIP 11g Enterprise Manager (EM) Fusion Middleware (FMW) Control console.
