You will have TNS names for Oracle. Check tnsnames.ora.

You can find all the details there

Select your Provider correctly and then manually give the USER NAME and PASSWORD.

Once you give that, test the connection

Get to your DB and select the view you would like to extract data....

If you do not have a provider then maybe you should Install it.

You would require your DB details. Contact the DB team if you don't have it.

Only after you give all the details , will the 'Test Connection' be highlighted

Provide the DATA Source (Data base)

Ex: ABCD.world

This will be the source where you've your schema and view.

After you give that, you'll get 'Test Connection'

I recommend you  use the Qlik ODBC Connector,

It's the simplest way to make database's connections that I know.

ODBC Connector

Hi,

you need these 3 parameters in order to succesfully conect to your DB:

Datasource: It can be either the IP of the server or the name of the server

User

Password

After following these 3 steps, you can test your connection.

Also it is important to check if your connection will be made through OLE DB or ODBC,
