I am trying to set up a linked server from SQL Server Production to one of our Oracle instances but experiencing this error :
The test connection in ODBC succeeds, but it fails on SQL Server side. I have checked the following things:
- OLEDB provider is installed
- OLEDB bit matches the bit of SQL
- OLEDB is registered
- Linked server properties is the last option to be able to login in using username and password
- Oracle provider has Allow In process checked
- Oracle ports are opened
- The right version client is installed
Are there anything else I should check further to resolve this error? Please provide me suggestions if you have experienced this before and what has worked for you. TIA
