Hi All,
I tried searching if this issue has been posted previously, but my search came up with nothing. My issue is opening the connection to the oracle database.
Software: Labview 2015, Oracle 12c, Win7 32-bit
What i attempt to do: create a data link in labview for the oracle database.
What happens: I get the error message, "Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider:[Oracle][ODBC][Ora] ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified", which i then proceeded to look up and attempt to fix using their recommended instructions. My tnsnames.ora file is referenced properly.
It is worth noting that the .udl file that i made works fine when i test the connection when opening it with OLE DB Core Services (opening it outside of Labview). In addition, i can connect to the Oracle database just fine using the command prompt. Therefore database connectivity isn't an issue.
The issue seems to lie somewhere in the labivew/oracle interfacing, otherwise i would have posted this issue to the oracle support forums.
