ODBC test connection success but MSAccess throws ORA-12154

My system details are,
OS - Windows 7 - 64 bit
MS-Office 2010 - 32 bit (Installed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office")
Oracle server/client 10.2 (Installed in "C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1")
I can "successfully" create the ODBC connection to my oracle database via "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe" (As my MS-Access in 32 bit, i need to use 32 bit ODBC component).
But, when I try to create/use the same in MSAccess -> External Data -> ODBC Database, I am getting the error "ORA-12154 TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified".
After spending couple of hours with debugging utilities, found the issue is in MS-Office installation path. The special character in the path "(x86)" is causing ORA-12154 error.
To ensure the same; I installed the Toad in "Program Files (x86)" folder, and tried connecting the same database. As expected, toad also gave ORA-12154 error (Which was working well in "C:\Toad").
Can you please let me know, is there a way/work around, we can make MSAccess 32 bit-> ODBC 32 -> Oracle 10.2 connectivity work in Windows 64 bit OS?
We cannot ask the end users to change the installation location of their MS Office from "Program Files (x86)".
Please let me know if you need more information.
Thanks,

I have the same issue.
I set up a DSN using Microsoft ODBC Administrator and I tested the connection.
However, when I tried using the DSN from Access, I get the above error.
Anybody listening?

ODBC 10.2 test connection success but MSAccess/Office throws ORA-12154

I've run into a difficult-to-solve problem. I'm troubleshooting an MSAccess to Oracle connection via Oracle ODBC driver issue.
MSAccess was giving ORA "long" datatype error (can't remember error number) when using 11.2.1 driver against a years-old, tried-n-true app that was previously well behaved (only diff is use of that app with newer Oracle ODBC driver). Web search revealed problems with 11.2 ODBC driver and MSOffice tools so decided to swith to older ODBC driver. Had 10.2 ODBC driver also installed so switched to that. Now get ORA-12154 every time I try to connect with MSAccess via Oracle ODBC. Using the ODBC Admin (32 bit) allows SUCCESSFUL connection as does tnsping & other tools that use Oracle Net. Only MSAccess (or other MSOffice tools) do not.
I've verified no other tnsnames.ora files or sqlnet.ora files available and have even gone as far as completely removing all things Oracle from the PC and reinstalling only the 10.2 client (custom mode; installed only the Oracle NET and ODBC 10.2 driver). I've turned on tracing to ADMIN level and read the trace files. trace for MSAccess call vs trace for ODBC administrator call yields nearly identical trace files till "niotns" step where the ODBC admin proceeds to connect and the MSAccess call just gives a few other coments then stops. NO apparent error messages. tnsnames IS found so don't understand why giving ORA-12154.
All tools connect (tnsping works, SQL*Plus connects, ODBC admin test sucessful, TOAD connects) EXCEPT MSAccess. Problem is I have many, many MSAccess legacy apps/tools and cannot go without the fully working ODBC connection between MSAccess and Oracle.
Help... desparate for new ideas to try since I've spent many hours searching and tried all known troubleshooting steps.
Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
I have a similar error. I can connect to database with TNSPING, and I can also connect with SQL Developer. But I am unable to connect with Access using ODBC, I get ORA-12154 error. Am also completely stumped. So if anyone can help, I would appreciate it too.
(P.S. I have tried on a number of PCs here in the office, on one PC I have here I can connect using Access and ODBC, I can see the tables, I pick on a table, it says "linking", but it never links - it just hangs forever.)
Thanks for any pointers,
Tom

It's probably best to close thread and that I start a new one. I think that I have gone off on a tangent here. Yes SSIS isn't doing much of a job in reporting errors but my main concern is the error itself.
I am trying to port an SSIS Script Task from SQL 2008 to SQL 2012. Is uses the ReportExecution2005 web service to run SSRS reports. The really strange thing is that, even though the same web reference is used, different methods seem
to be available in SQL 2008 and SQL 2012. This doesn't sound right to me, if you refer to the same Web Service you should see the same metros or am I wrong about that.
For example in SQL 2008 there is ReportExecutionService
object but on the SQL 2012 to service there only seems to be
ReportExecutionServiceSOAPClient.

DW CS3: test connection works, but local pages won't upload.

My MacBook Pro died, can'taccess files or apps and I don't have the CS3 install disks, so I moved DW over from my Mac Pro.The test connection works, but local pages won't upload.I re-entered all the site info, confirmed I ahd all the correct FTP settings from my sertver tech guys. I even created a new site duplicating all the original info. BTW I have ALWAYS had this problem on the Mac Pro...Never been able to upload from that computer. All the other apps in CS3 work fine.
jackhatfield

FileZilla worked. Thanks so much. Still wish I could figure out why
Dreamweaver won¹t transfer files, it would be easier than editing in DW and
then having to use Filezilla to transfer them. DW never transferred files on
the Mac Pro I had it installed on either (that¹s where I got it from when I
moved apps to my new MacBook Pro).

Test connection successful and 0 rows transfered in Powerpivot

Hi..one of my user was unable to get the data.The test connection is successful but its getting 0 rows
eventually. While people using the same datafeeds are able to get the data. Can any one help me how can I troubleshoot?
Its powerpivot 2010 and 32 bit software !

Hello ShiningStar,
You might be aware of the fact that in order to answer your question, there's more data required.
1. Is this user on the same premises as "people"
2. What are the rights for this user on the server for this datafeed?
3. Can this user get the data on another computer with her credentials?

Wi-fi hotspot connected successfully but no Internet Connection

I've created the Hotspot and it's successfully connected to my phone, but I couldn't use the Internet. I'm pretty
sure that my phone works fine. I've even tried to Rollback my wifi driver but ended up in nothing. Even I couldn't find new update for my wifi Driver. I even tried the Third party software to create Hotspot (Connectify Dispatch), Despite it connected successfully
to my phone, I couldn't access the Internet.
(Note: I use Windows 8.1)

Something is wrong but your code doesn't care: catch(SQLException ee){}What happens if there is an SQL exception? Nothing. That's probably what happened. Try this to find out: catch(SQLException ee){ee.printStackTrace();}

JMS Listner: Test Configuration Successful but not listening the messages

Hi,
I have configured the JMS Listner adapter in IDM 7.0 with Sun MQ 3.5.
My test configuration is susscessful. I have some messages on Sun MQ. I have one wotkflow associated with this adapter. I have mapped it via process rule of Edit Sync Policy. Now I want to read the messages from MQ and want to retrive in my workflow. But when I starts the scynchronization nothing comes to my workflow. The log is showing as

I am new with this adapter. Please anybody tell me what should I have to configure so that I would be able to read the messages from my JMS Listner Active Sync adapter?
Thanks in Advance

So, in order to get the message you have to map it. That is done be specifying the "Message Mapping", one of the Resource Parameters for JMS Listener. This can be done by specifying a rule that returns a <map> with the attribute. This would be, in my opinion, the preferred approach for text messages. For Map massages, the rule approach can't be used unless you use the jms java libraries, getString etc.
You can also implement the com.waveset.adapter.jms.JmsMessageMapper if java is your cup of tea, and put that in the message mapping text box. Password synch uses a java class to do the mapping.
To map the attribute called accId on the right side, you would use something like this:
<Rule name='JMS Message Mapper Rule'>
    <block>
        <map>
            <s>accId</s>
            <ref>message</ref>
        </map>
    </block>The Message Mapping text box would in this case look like this:
"rule:JMS Message Mapper Rule"
The <ref>message</ref> part contains the JMS text message. In this case the message consist of only one word. In a real-life situation, you would send a bunch of information, perhaps using split to separate the data.

FTP Publish- test connection verified but can't publish

I am tring to publish a project to my FTP server. When I test the connection, I get a message that the connection is successful (see below). However, when try to publish it, it tells me it cannot establish a connection. Any thoughts?

Any chance that you are using a Proxy server? I have quite a few problems with my Captivate at work since all our traffic goes through corporate proxy servers.
Another potential cause could be if you are on a corporate network but the ports that are used for FTP traffic are blocked by your firewall.
So far I haven't found any way of fixing these problems.

ISql*Plus works well, but sqlplus throws ORA-12560. Why?

I installed Oracle DB 10.2.0.1 on Windows XP. After the installation, everything works like clockwork. ... well, until I installed Oracle Application server 10.1.2.0.2.
For the most part, it still works fine. But now, whenever I run sqlplus from command line, I get ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error. I can still connect using the same login from iSql*Plus without any problem. Why?
Now I'm supposed to cd into a directory, fire off sqlplus and run a sql script. How do I do this in iSql*Plus?
Any help? Thanks,
-M

Thanks for the replies. I got the idea. I need to set
those variables myself, although I personally think
the installer should take care of that during
installation.
Now, out of curiosity, why did iSql*Plus never have
the problem even though I didn't have any those
variables set in my environment?No idea why those aren't set automatically, but they aren't, as you found out. :)
iSQL*Plus is a web based service, and I believe it uses JDBC, not straight OCI calls.

Error 10061 WSAECONNREFUSED when I do ODBC Test Connection!

Hi
Am still trying to create a DSN in ODBC however can't get the connection to work..
Any help and Suggestions greatly appreciated!!
Regards
Meir R

Hello,
Please, check if you have the right ODBC driver. You should choose Oracle in XEClient.
Then, for the connexion you'll have to set the following:
Data Source Name: {color:red}name{color}
Description: {color:red}description{color}
TNS Service Name: {color:red}127.0.0.1:1521/XE{color}
User ID: {color:red}Oracle user{color}In fact I thought at first you wanted to connect with the browser and for it you have to
use the port 8080.
For ODBC you need the Listener port which by default is *1521*.
Please, let me know if it works.
Hope it can help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

6230 connected successfully but can not synch. Out...

I've synchr. my 6230 with my PC (XP) for more than three years without problems. For a few weeks the synchronisation does not work anymore, the phone writes "keine Genehmigung" (no permission). I can see all the datas from my phone on my computer, I can download the photos, the musik-files and see the contacts, so it is correctly connected via bluetooth, but if I want no synchronise with my outlook, i get this error-code.
For the last 3 years it works without any failure.
Does anyone of you have any idea to solve this problem?
Thanks for your help

ORA-12154 Windows 7 32bit ORACLE 11g ODBC Driver CONNECT

Hi All,
I'm having problems connecting to extenal database using Oracle ODBC driver for Windows 7 32bit .
I have downloaded the instantclient odbc nt 11.2.0.4zip drivers for 32-bit and unpacked it
and run the installer and choose the default location ie c:\app\product\11.2.0\client_1
2.I done all the necessary setting ie set the Path and creating new user variable for tns admin
in the system environment and modified the hostfile on etc sys32 and copied both tsnamesn and sqlnet
to Network\Admin file
3.I then started the Data Sources (ODBC) manager, configured the driver and tested the
configuration then I got a testing connection error SQLstate= 08004... ORA-12154 TNS couldn't connect.
could you please help. Thanks in advance.

I couldn't understand why you need two different tnsnames files. Are they resides in two different directories with filename "tnsnames.ora"? In that case, you need to set the TNS_ADMIN appropriately.
If you haven't named tnsnames files as "tnsnames.ora", then Oracle ODBC driver may not able to access it.
Also if TNS_ADMIN env variable is not pointed to the correct directory where tnsnames.ora file resides, then Oracle ODBC driver won't be able to access it.
In any case, if Oracle ODBC driver unable to access the tnsnames.ora and there is no connection string value stored in the Windows registry, then it throws ORA-12154 error.
Thanks,
Senthil

As you can see, I have tried adding an alias for the default domain
name suffix '.qonnectis.com' in the tnsnames.ora files on the solaris
client and on the new 10g server.
Just to add to the fun, the 'new' server running Ora 10g CANNOT connect
to the old server running Ora 9:
sqlplus user/pass@nn_qq3
sqlplus user/pass@nn_qq3.qonnectis.com both fail.
While the old 9.0 server CAN connect to the new 10g one:
sqlplus user/[email protected] succeeds.
Sorry this is such a mess. TBH I find this whole area extremely
confusing.
All suggestions welcome. Unfortunately I am away on holiday next week
but will follow up any leads when I get back.
thanks!
Victor Churchill.

This bit suggests the ports are not open.
Intermittent success like this And the ports not being open suggests a Modem that might be SIP aware such a Thomson-Alcatel Speedtouch device.
Can you tell us what modem you have ?
