ORA-28522 error when reading data from DB2 via hsodbc

Question

Hi All,
I'm trying to connect to a DB2 database running on an AS/400 system, via Oracle HS.
I'm using Oracle 9.2.08. The DB2 version is V4R5.
My ODBC DSN is called TEST_odbc.
The initTEST_sid.ora file contains the following:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = TEST_odbc
My Listener.ora file contains the following:
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = vm-dashboarddemo)(PORT = 1521))
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\ora92)
(SID_NAME = TEST_sid)
My TNSNames.ora file contains:
TEST_name =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = VM-DASHBOARDDEMO)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = TEST_sid)
(HS = OK)
When I use TNSPing, I get a successful result:
D:\oracle\ora92\bin>tnsping TEST_name

Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)
(HOST = VM-DASHBOARDDEMO)(PORT = 1521))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = TEST_sid)) (HS =
OK))
OK (10 msec)
I can then login to SQLPlus as SYSDBA, and create a database link:
SQL> create database link TEST_link connect to "<username>" identified by "<password>" using 'TEST_name';
Database link created.
So far everything seems to be going well.
But then, when I try and select some data from the linked database, i get the following:
SQL> select * from <tablename>@TEST_link;
select * from <tablename>@TEST_link
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

State: S0002; SQL Code: -204)
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from TEST_LINK
Does anyone have any ideas? I'd love to get this solved!!
Many Many Thanks,
River

Answer 1

I should have mentioned that I know that the table exists in the database.
The main reason I'm trying to do this is because I'm trying to get the data from the DB2 DB into my Oracle DB. I have been trying the EXP utility, which gives me a different error code:
D:\oracle\ora92\bin>exp <username>/<password>@TEST_name file=TEST.dmp rows=yes indexes=no
