@chennuri gouri shankar

Can you please attach the workflow.xml for further look. From the exception, it looks like that you are trying to run the workflow.xml on secure cluster. So just ensure that you have specified the hcat credential profile before hive action node. Hcat credential must contain the Hive metastore URI and Hive Kerberos principal.

More details to specify the hcat credential profile is available at following link : https://oozie.apache.org/docs/4.2.0/DG_ActionAuthentication.html
