Couldn't start sqoop2 job

[#1]

Hi,

I am trying to transfer data from Oracle into HDFS. I copied JDBC driver (ojdbc6.jar) into /var/lib/sqoop2 and also 

/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-5.0.2-1.cdh5.0.2.p0.13/lib/sqoop2 for sure. But when I create job and start it, message - Error, could not start job is shown. I also tried to run job from CLI:

start job --jid 4

 But got this message:

Exception has occurred during processing command
Exception: org.apache.sqoop.common.SqoopException Message: CLIENT_0001:Server has returned exception

 This error message doesn't help me, it is not too verbose. Do you know where the problem should be? Connection should be ok, and table and schema exists in oracle database. Here is connection and job info:

Thank you

Hey there,

Would you mind setting the verbosity option and running your job?

set option --name verbose --value true

Also, /var/log/sqoop2/sqoop.log should have errors. Could you please dig for any errors there and post them to this thread?

Thank you Abe, it seams that problem was missing partition columns. So I tried to add one column and job started. But it would be great to receive this information also from Hue.
