When connecting to Oracle thru In-db
I've came across an awkward issue, somehow Alteryx can't read TNS that I've defined.
Eventually I've had a solution and this was not as straight forward as it should be...
1) There is an easy way to edit, update add TNS records, finding the file and understand and update it is not as straightforward as a non IT person to tackle
Here's some tablau links on how to do it... http://kb.tableau.com/articles/howto/setting-an-oracle-connection-to-use-tnsnames-ora-or-ldap-ora
2) Especially the In-db tool doesn't even look at that file...
It says enter "TNS Server Name" but it actually asks for an IP address and some credentials like
1.0.0.0.1/oracl,
you gotta write this in Help file,
You gotta have a better UI/UX design that helps the end user...
Best
