Additional Information

Apologies for being unable to address this issue within the current product support cycle. If the issue continues to affect work in a supported release, please contact Technical Support.

Workaround

Configure the tnsnames.ora file and use ‘Net Service name’ or since Oracle 19c contains an Easy Connect Plus with a shorter connect string (less likely to exceed the 159 character limit).
