Dear Team,
Firstly since we are in genAI age, I did took help from Copilot /gemini /previous post on same issue ,but could not fix
When i try to get data from oracle i am getting Error in screenshot below.
What i have tried so far .
1) I have installed per recommendation on oracle and microsoft official website installed ORACLE client for microsoft tools
Oracle Client for Microsoft Tools
2) Per copilot and gemini suggestion , i am absolutely sure that -the bitness of my power bi 64 is same as Oracle client for microsoft tool , out of frustration even i installed both the version 64 and 32 to see if it works , same error
3) Per gemini suggestion i even configured path variable
C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle Client for Microsoft Tools\odp.net\managed\common
C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle Client for Microsoft Tools\odp.net\bin\4
4) Per gemini suggestion , i have verified by microscope that dll exists in above location , and the path is correct
6)I have Read and execute permission on the Dll in above path
7)Per copilot suggestion i have verified that i have read and execute permission on
8)Even thought Additional -oracle instant client is not needed per the documentation , but based on some crazy post , since i want to try everthing i can i even installed oracle instant client same is pointed in oracle client for microsoft tools
9)Per age old suggestion , I have uninstalled and reinstalled oracle cilent for microsoft tools many times and restarted my system
10) Same ,with power bi , i reinstalled after uninstalling
9) You may ask Power bi version , its april , just to rule out i even installed and checked Jan 2024 version , same issue
10) To put icing on cake , I even tried to connect via visual studio ssas , I get the same issue 😞
I am sure there is som fundamental steps i missed out ? Does excerpt here can pls help me out .
Recommended data provider oracle.dataAccess.Client is not installed
Finally if i proceed i get this and stuck
Hi @lbendlin CAn you pls tell me what is the link of native oracle driver .
I have installed oracle instant client & odbc driver as well already
in the client i have configured the tnsname.ora file
and then the path of that file is mentioned in TNS_ADMIN system environment variable
TNS_ADMIN : C:\Users\xxx_yyy\instantclient_21_13\network\admin
Now when i connect using power bi i am still getting same error
Note : i used the tns name
content of tnsnames.ora
MYDB =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =blablabutcorrect)(PORT =1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME =blablabutcorrect)
)
)
That looks better . Try downgrading to v19
None of that is necessary. Install the native Oracle driver, use the TNSNAMES.ORA file to define your connections and then use the TNS name to connect.
