Cannot configure Oracle wallet with ODBC

[babbu9]

Hi
We are trying to configure SSL communications between datastage and oracle servers. The DBA has completed the server side changes and sent the certificates and TrustStore password to be used. I have tried many options but keep getting the same error everytime. TNSPING to the SID works. sqlplus connection from datastage server to database works using SSL but connection through ODBC does not.
Datadirect rejected to help us and IBM support says that they donot directly support datadirect. There is no info available online to troubleshoot this.

I would greatly appreciate any help.

I tried the sample test programs "demoodbc" and "example" provided by IBM to troubleshoot and both give same error.


Error:
SQLConnect: Retrying Connect.
SQLSTATE = 08001
NATIVE ERROR = 12545
MSG = [IBM(DataDirect OEM)][ODBC Oracle driver][Oracle]ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist

Perhaps Oracle can help?

First mask out your TruststorePassword and KeyStorePassword values from the topic.

IBM does support the DataDirect drivers. You can open a PMR on that. If needed, they will work with Progress/DataDirect support behind the scenes. Oracle won't support these drivers.

You could also try going out to IBM Fix Central and downloading the newest DataDirect drivers and installing those on your server, just in case the problem is version related.

Depending on your tns entry, you may need to use a ServiceName option in the ODBC entry.

But why not just use the Oracle client you already have installed on your Information Server along with the Oracle Connector stage?

The problem is we already use odbc stage and we cannot change all of our code to use oracle stage now.

We have already upgraded the drivers and there seems to be no solution to the issue so far.

Not true. If it's the only solution that works, then it's the correct thing to do.

You might also check that everything about tnsnames.ora is correct - the pathname of the file and the entry for D2IDEV1.
