Go to urs inithsodbc.ora file which reside at
ORACLE_HOME\hs\admin\inithsodbc.ora
and overrite by
# This is a sample agent init file that contains the HS parameters that are
# needed for an ODBC Agent.
# HS init parameters
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = Access1
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = off
# Environment variables required for the non-Oracle system
#set <envvar>=<value>
Step 3
Add the following entry to the tnsnames.ora file:
ACCESS1.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION=
