DCR to Oracle

Hi,

I try to connect via DCR to Oracle and did the following:

  • started DECS on the Domino server

  • installed an Oracle client on the Domino server (and also did the settings for ODBC connection for Oracle)

  • tested successfully the connection from the Domino server to the Oracle server with ndctest.exe for both, native Oracle and also the ODBC

  • enabled a newly Lotus application for external data source

  • created a new DCR (DataConnectionResource) for native Oracle access in Lotus Domino Designer

  • if I click on browse MetaData, got an error like “Cannot browse for MetaData, because DECS is not running on this server”. DECS is definitly running.

  • same result if I try the DCR for ODBC.

Any ideas about this?

thx in advance

best regards

Konrad
