Check that the ODBC driver being used to connect to 11g is valid, and validly referred to in tnsnames.ora file.

Involve your DBA. I too would suspect a tnsnames.ora issue of some kind.

I hit the "Connection Dead" error last year via DataDirect ODBC drivers. In our case it was because we had enabled Oracle Advanced Security on the database server and forced it to required encrypted client connections. If that is your situation too, then you have to upgrade the DataDirect ODBC drivers on the DataStage server to a newer version that supports encrypted Oracle connections.

I'd also be curious if this was working and then stopped or are you are trying to get it to work for the first time?

If it used to be working, then the error should say "Connection Died."

Oracle Advanced Security can be installed on any one Oracle database by itself. Ask your DBA if it's installed and requires encrypted client connections.
