Oracle Gateway for MS SQL Server

Question

I have a oracle 10g database installed on Linux platform. I have installed oracle 11g gateways in the same system in a different location other than that of ORACLE_HOME.
I have configured the initdg4msql.ora and configured the listener in the ORACLE_HOMEs listener.ora
When I try to query the SQL Server table with the db link then I am getting the following error
Error starting at line 1 in command:
select * from dbo.jobs@testlink
Error at Command Line:1 Column:23
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[Oracle][ODBC SQL Server Driver][libssclient22]ConnectionOpen.[Oracle][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid connection string attribute
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from TESTLINK
the following is my initdg4msql.ora configuration:
# This is a customized agent init file that contains the HS parameters
# that are needed for the Database Gateway for Microsoft SQL Server
# HS init parameters
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=sqlserv:1433//pubs
# alternate connect format is hostname/serverinstance/databasename
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=DEBUG
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_ACCOUNT=RECOVER
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_PWD=RECOVER
can anyone tell me where am I going wrong?

Answer 1

the patch is not applied to 10g db. Here is the last few lines of the dg4msql trace file
