Oracle Call Interface setup
We're trying to setup an OCI connection between Essbase (v11.1.2.1 and v11.1.2.2) and UNIX/Linux. (v11.1.2.1 -> UNIX, v11.1.2.2 ->Linux, if that matters). I've googled the syntax, and have come up with this format: DBSERVERNAME:PORT/SERVICE_NAME. So, I sent a TNSPING to the server:
Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (SDU = 32768) (TDU = 32768) (ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = indw-q) (PORT = 1521))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SI
D = INDWQ) (GLOBAL_NAME = INDWQ)))
OK (210 msec)
Makes me think that this would work: indw-q:1521/INDWQ would work, but it doesn't. From the app log: EssOCI is initializing the connection to Oracle database on server [indw-q:1521/INDWQ]
