    ORCL=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=LOACAHOST)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=Servicename)))

      Hi,

       Thank you so much for the response.

      I am able to connect to the oracle database which is residing in my local machine and on premise server too. Actually, I want to connect the cloud oracledata base which is sitting in the oracle server. Do I need to follow the same process to connect to the Oracle cloud?

      However, I tried to connect the oracle cloud database by following the below steps.

      https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-connect-oracle-database

      Server entry box is not allowing me to put more than 128 char as my server name is exceeding 128 char string limit 

      I used below format for the server name

      (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=LOACAHOST)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=Servicename)))

      Do I need a gateway to refresh on the cloud? Even if the Oracle db is cloud?
