How to connect sql server2005 in owb10g?

Question

I followed the below steps
1. create a dsn in odbc named sqlsource
2. create initsqlserver.ora in OraHome_1\hs\admin
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = sqlsource
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 0
HS_AUTOREGISTER = TRUE
3. create listener.ora in OraHome_1\network\ADMIN
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC = (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = E:\OraHome_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = sqlserver)
(ORACLE_HOME = E:\OraHome_1)
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
4.create tnsnames.ora in OraHome_1\network\ADMIN
sqlserver =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =(SID = sqlserver)
(HS = OK)
5. restart owb listener
6. login design center, at non-oracle node, create a new module(odbc)
at step2, click "edit", select type = host:port:service, then i input username and password, host = 127.0.0.1, servername = sqlserver, click test button, I got this error:
ORA-28545: error diagnosed by Net8 when connecting to an agent
Unable to retrieve text of NETWORK/NCR message 65535
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from OWB_121
Could anyone give me a sample? It is very urgent
Thanks

Answer 1

Yeah, HS can be a bit odd to set up sometimes. A couple obvious (sorry) questions first:
Your step 1:
- I assume you hit the test connection button to make sure your SQL Server credentials for the logon work?
- Did you make sure you create the DNS as a system dsn object and not File or User?
Your step 3:
- Maybe just an error in your copying into the post, but are you missing a right-paren to close your your SID_LIST block in the listener definition?
Before we get to step 6, after restarting the listener, can you ">tnsping sqlsource" your source and have it come back successfully? Can you do a ">lsnrctl status" have have your sqlsource service come back as recognized?
