I'm trying to connect to an Oracle DB as my datasource. Here's what I have -
Type: Oracle
Server Name: Black
Then I have the username and password. I click on the test connection button and I get this -
ora-12514: tns:listener could not resolve service_name given in connect descriptor

Our ERP data is in an Oracle DB and I need to use it.

on your sql server do you have a tnsnames.ora file and does it have Servername black listed?
