Oracle ORA-12154: TNS: Could not resolve the connect identifier specified

Hi there, 

 

I'm having this issue when I tried to connect Oracle OneData to PowerBI. Note that I received the pbix file that I received is already complete and now I'm trying to reconnect the database from my end.

I have tried some solutions here like checking the tnsnames.ora file, file path and troubleshooting.

 

Any other solutions that my fellow power bi community may know? Thank you.

Hello, 

I'd make sure the ora client is installed properly, the string is correct and finally tnsnames.ora is up to date. This video might helps as well:
