Hi,

Check whether driver is been installed or not.

Hi,

try to enter this to you cmd:

tnsping FDWHUND

If you receive an error like:"tnsping could not be recognized ...", there is an error with your Oracle driver.

If you receive sth like "could not be resolved", you have a problem with your DNS server (or server name is wrong)

Regards,

Gregor

Hi,

It seems that you have to make changes in tnsnames.ora file

1)Verify that the tnsnames.ora file has the alias and the service name,


TNS entry for the Oracle database

===========================

OracleDB_Dev =

  (DESCRIPTION =

    (ADDRESS_LIST =

      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = server01.mydomain.com)(PORT = 1521))

    )

    (CONNECT_DATA =

      (SERVICE_NAME = OracleDB)

      (SERVER = DEDICATED)

    )

  )


tnsnames.ora file  can be found in Dir:\app\product\11.1.0\client_1\network\admin

For example my path was 'C:\app\shilpa.naik\product\11.2.0\client_1\network\admin\sample'
