Hi Ramesh,

Thanks for your suggestion, 

Actually I tried this looking on the url you shared already.

I have tried both basic and advanced configurations but it is displaying  

for basic : 

Connection String test failed: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified

for advanced :

Connection String test failed: '(DESCRIPTION' is an invalid connection string attribute


I want to know if my configurations is wrong ? I am trying to do this in personal environment.

If you are doing this from your PE, are you sure that the Oracle database you are trying to reach is accessible from the internet?

The Oracle DB is accessible with Network Alias but not able to connect with connect identifier, so I am looking on it..

Hi Ramesh,

Thanks for the suggestions,

Please guide me if this is only for SQL server or for Oracle too.

Because I do not have server name in Oracle. I tried using service name & database name as server name in the properties.

I get this below error after entering username and password & tried to select the database on the server.


Thanks,

Vijay R
