Oracle RAC request

When I try importing the tables from Oracle, despite correct connection details it requests RAC name. "User needs to enter RAC Name for servers on RAC"

I assume you are talking about the step to import the table metadata from Oracle, yes? Regardless, it's been a very long time but it sounds to me that you may be connecting to a specific instance in the RAC cluster rather than the "RAC name" - the service name of the cluster itself.

I also think that's the case. You're probably using the name of a single node rather than the scan name.

chulett,

Yes, that is correct. Will take a look at this suggestion. Thanks.

Julio,

Unfortunately, I have limited access on the datastage environment.

Correction: Its a development environment, hence a single node cluster. So why would it ask for RAC name?

Because it's still a RAC cluster. It doesn't know nor care how many nodes there are.
