SQL Server 2005 OWB Source

Question

Hello All
Iam using OWB 10Gr2 on the win2003 box. we have a source in MS Sql server 2005. I followed some documents and modified the below files as required.
Sql server,Oracle database and OWB are on same server. Sql services are running fine and the ODBC is tested sucessfully. Database and OWB are also running perfectly.
1. Created an ODBC pointing to the sql server in control panel by name SQLODBC.
2. Modified the tns file entry as follows
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.101.3.14)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
SQLODBC =
     (DESCRIPTION =
     (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.101.3.14)(PORT = 1521))
     (CONNECT_DATA =
     (SID = SQLODBC)
     (HS = OK)
3. Modified Lisiner.ora file as follows
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = SQLODBC)      
(ORACLE_HOME= C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
4. from the (C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\hs\admin) i renamed the inithsodbc to initSQLODBC.ora and modified the connects as follows
# HS init parameters
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = SQLODBC
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 4
After this above 4 steps i tested the lisitner

When iam trying to create an new module under OWB-Non oracle-ODBC it is throwing error.
Iam passing user id and password in double quotes. when iam trying to browse schemas it is throwing the following error
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[Generic Connectivity Using ODBC][H006] The init parameter <HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO> is not set. Please set it in init<orasid>.ora file.
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from OWB_106
