PowerBi desktop doesn't connect oracle 11g or 12g when use:server_example:1525/service_name_example.

[pablo20]

When i use:

get data from-->oracle, i configure the server with name_serve:port/service_name but this configuration doesn't work.

I recibe:"ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified.". In my tnsnames.ora i have configurated
example.world =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = server_example)(PORT = 1525))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = service_name_example
)
)

i try this: server_example:1525/service_name_example. Does not work.
but if i use: example.word it's OK, work.

but i requiere server_example:1525/service_name_example because in my organization this require.

can you help me?

"because in my organization this require"

Does that mean your organization does not allow the use of TNSNAMES.ORA and forces you to use tns-less connections?

TNS-less connection string - OraOLEDB.Oracle - ConnectionStrings.com

Worst case you could switch to the ODBC driver (and lose some performance)

Hello !, I was able to configure it today.
In my tnsnames.ora just add:
server_example: 1525 / server_example =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS =
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(HOST = server_example)
(PORT = 1525)
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = service_name_example)
)
)

The problem was in the configuration made by the gateway administrator and he was inflexible in changing it.

Thanks for the help.

Resume:
Configure the database configuration in tnsnames.ora using the connection string in the CONNECTION DESCRIPTOR:
"server_example: 1525 / server_example"

"inflexible"  is a nice way to describe this.
