ORA-01861: literal does not match format string

When I try to execute this snippet:

cmd.CommandText = "SELECT alarm_id,definition_description,element_id,
    TO_CHAR (alarm_datetime, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'),severity,
    problem_text,status FROM aircom.alarms 
    WHERE status = 1 and 
    TO_DATE (alarm_datetime,'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS') > TO_DATE ('07.09.2008 
    09:43:00', 'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS') 
    order 
    by ALARM_DATETIME desc";

I get: 

ORA-01861: literal does not match format string

There is no problem with database connection because I can execute basic SQL commands.

What is the problem with this statement?

A simple view like this was giving me the ORA-01861 error when executed from Entity Framework:

create view myview as 
select * from x where x.initialDate >= '01FEB2021'

Just did something like this to fix it:

create view myview as 
select * from x where x.initialDate >= TO_DATE('2021-02-01', 'YYYY-MM-DD')

I think the problem is EF date configuration is not the same as Oracle's.

If you are using JPA to hibernate make sure the Entity has the correct data type for a field defined against a date column like use java.util.Date instead of String.
