ColdFusion 2016 Enterprise: dB Connection to Oracle 12 via Service Name (no SID)

I got the following info from Adobe which appears to work (so far anyway).   I have added it here in the hope that it helps others out whom may run into the same issue.

Hi Jim,

Navigate to Data
& Services > Datasources > Other and Specify the following settings:

• JDBC URL - jdbc:macromedia:oracle://hostname:port;ServiceName=servicename;AlternateServers=(alternatehostname:port);ConnectionRetryCount=2;ConnectionRetryDelay=5 (servicename,a
       name that is typically composed of the database name and domain name, is
       used to specify connections to Oracle RAC because the nodes in a RAC
       system share a common service name. AlternateServers is a comma separated
       list of servers and port names.)

• Driver
       class - macromedia.jdbc.MacromediaDriver

• Username - A
       user defined to the database

• Password - The
       password for the username

Thanks,

Vikram
