Troubleshoot the Oracle connector in Azure Data Factory and Azure Synapse

This article provides suggestions to troubleshoot common problems with the Oracle connector in Azure Data Factory and Azure Synapse.

Error code: ArgumentOutOfRangeException

  • Message: Hour, Minute, and Second parameters describe an un-representable DateTime.

  • Cause: In Azure Data Factory and Synapse pipelines, DateTime values are supported in the range from 0001-01-01 00:00:00 to 9999-12-31 23:59:59. However, Oracle supports a wider range of DateTime values, such as the BC century or min/sec>59, which leads to failure.

  • Recommendation:

    To see whether the value in Oracle is in the supported range of dates, run select dump(<column name>).

    To learn the byte sequence in the result, see How are dates stored in Oracle?.
