"System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater."

Question

Hi,

I was trying to create Oracle DB data connection on Gallery(2019.4) and faced "System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater." error.

I installed instantclient_12_1 but it did not work.

Appreciate any help there is.

We had shared the article with our IT support team and they shared screen with us while they performed the change on the Alteryx server.

Thanks for the quick response.  I should have more clear in my question.  Did you need to make any changes on the server, or were all changes made on the workstation?

Thanks!

When we applied to the Oracle Client folder, a popup came up asking if we should apply to subfolders as well.  We clicked Yes, or OK, whichever it was and it raced down through subfolders as well.
