ORA-28555: pass-through SQL: required parameter missing or NULL
🔍

Known Causes

3 known causes
⚠️
NULL Parameter Value
A parameter defined as NOT NULL in the target system received a NULL value during the pass-through operation. This violates the target system's data integrity constraints.
⚠️
Missing Parameter Definition
The pass-through SQL statement references a parameter that was not defined or included in the parameter list. This leads to the target system not receiving the expected value.
⚠️
Incorrect Parameter Mapping
The parameter mapping between the Oracle database and the external system is incorrect. This can result in NULL values being passed when they shouldn't be.
