I am receiving below exception. on Liberty console & in browser.

I have also copied:
jdbc jar (ojdbc6.jar) at Liberty\usr\shared\resources\oracle
worklight-jee-library.jar at Liberty\usr\shared\resources\lib
myapp.war at Liberty\usr\servers\WorklightServer\apps
The apps folder on Liberty contains only these 3 war files.
myapp.war
appcenterconsole.war
applicationcenter.war

Answer 1

The error message mentions jdbc/WorklightDS, therefore the configuration mistake must be in the <dataSource jndiName="worklight/jdbc/WorklightDS" ...> element.
You are using the syntax url="jdbc:oracle:thin:#//10.100.11.1:1529/WRKLIGHT" which is the syntax for a JDBC URL with a service name, but WRKLIGHT is probably not the service name but the SID of your database. (Service names usally include some dots.)
You have two options:
Use the syntax which references the SID: url="jdbc:oracle:thin:#10.100.11.1:1529:WRKLIGHT"
Look up the service name in the file ORACLE_HOME\network\admin\tnsnames.ora, and use this service name in the URL, instead of WRKLIGHT.

Answer 2

Error in update 2: javax.servlet.ServletException: Worklight Console initialization failed.Logged Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: FWLSE0206E: The project /worklight failed to initialize, because the project database schema for data source jdbc:oracle:thin:#10.100.11.1:1529:gmaxem is from version N/A, which is not supported by the server from version 6.3.0.00.20141127-1357. Use the MobileFirst ant tasks to upgrade the project database schema. [project worklight
This means that the connection to the database worked but that the tables that are expected to be in the table were not found.
If you install manually, you need to create the schema of the tables.

Answer 3

Solved
This issue has been resolved.
Unfortunately my client had not created WLADMIN database at all and I was told that it does exists. Plus app center database was having wrong tables created as I mentioned in another post.
I was not given privileges to install any db tool to interact/see the databases structure.
Note: - The above mentioned configuration is correct and is working fine.

Answer 4

might be useful to someone, it should be '/' separator for port name and service name
<dataSource beginTranForResultSetScrollingAPIs="true" beginTranForVendorAPIs="false" commitOrRollbackOnCleanup="rollback" connectionManagerRef="default-conn-mgr" isolationLevel="TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED" jndiName="jdbc/test" transactional="true" type="javax.sql.ConnectionPoolDataSource">
<jdbcDriver libraryRef="oracleJDBCJars"/>
<properties.oracle URL="jdbc:oracle:thin:#my-host.name.xxx.com:portnumber/service.name.com" password="xxx" user="test_usr"/>
