Using the Universe Design Tool in BOE 4.4 to create an Oracle-JDBC connection.
Issue: Test Connection fails for JDBC connection to production Oracle database.
Getting error:
“DBD: ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
IBM AIX RISC System/6000 Error: 2: No such file or directory”
Things to note:
There are three entries in the tnsnames.ora file (a prod entry, a dev entry and a test entry). I can successfully create the JDBC connections for the test and dev entries, but not prod.
I can go to Designer in another server (our BOE 3.5 server in a different environment) and create all three Oracle-JDBC connections.
The Oracle middleware is the same between the two servers (11g) and the tnsnames.ora files are identical.
The prod database is up (it would definitely be known if it were down).
Very confused on this one. Any help would be appreciated.
