    • Data source: Enter server name, for example, localhost:1521. Data source can be defined in three different ways: Easy Connect/Easy Connect Plus, TNS Alias or Connect Descriptor. For more information on the format of each method, please refer to the Oracle documentation on Data Source attribute of the ODP.NET connection string.

      Note

      In order to use TNS Alias as a data source, make sure that ORACLE_HOME environment variable is set and TNSNAMES.ORA file is located in the <ORACLE_HOME>/network/admin folder.
