ERROR: Unknown error (code: 1)
These detail above errors were generated in files in log portion of OATS while installation only error file link was seen. like error in dbsetup and config_ds.
Please Help me as soon as possible as i have started a new job and i need to get going.
If you are using latest OATS versions, you need to first install database recommended for OATS and then save the details like credentials, these needs to be used when you try to install OATS.
