Oracle: ORA-604: error occurred at recursive SQL level %s

I am attempting to setup a Gateway to Oracle 11gR2. I have installed the 64 bit client and 64bit ODAC on the server running the Gateway, but I get this error on powerbi.com : 

Underlying error code: -2147467259

Hello, i have just encountered this problem when trying to add a data source with on premise data gateway, have you found the solution for this problem?

I ended up just having to capitalize the net service name, even thought it was lower case in my TNS file. For example, originally my net service name in Power BI desktop was abc-prd, I changed it to ABC-PRD and everything started working.

Hi @Anonymous 

Does this error happen when adding the Oracle data source under the on-premise gateway?

Once 64 bit client and 64bit ODAC are installed, please verify that the tnsnames.ora file is properly configured and you are using the proper net_service_name.

Also make sure that the net_service_name is the same between the machine using Power BI Desktop and the machine that is running the gateway.

Besides, there is a link how to troubleshoot "ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1"
