Oracle Source Connection Error

Hi,

I was trying to connect to Oracle Source in SSIS

1. Err: Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Oracle Client and networking components were not found

Sol: I installeed the Oracle Client tools

2. Err: ORA -12154: TNS: Could not resolve teh connect identifier specified

Sol: Then I point out the TNS file

3. Now I coonect the Oracle db . I go to Connection Manager . Specifies the provide as: Native OLE DB\ Oracle Provide for OLE DB, Select my DB, provide teh user name and password. and check if the connection passed.

Then in my data Flow Task when I add this source and check the Colmns its gives me an error./ sort of warning

The component reported the following warnings:

Warning at {C947B.......} [Ole DB Source[1]]: Cannot retrieve the column code page info from the OLE DB provider. if the components supports teh "DefaultCodePage" property, the code page from that property will be used.....

Will this warning has an significance. i dont see any error in my output data. but is there something I m doing wrong.

4. When I set my ProtectionLevel under Security in package property to "Dont Save Sensitive" in order to easily configure the package I m getting this error: failed Validation. The default one was EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey then its running smoothly.

Can somebody advice me on this?

I addded the all the errors and solution for 1 and 2 becuase in that way this will be helpful in future.

One more thing...

What should be my Package property Protection layer in oreder to smoothly transfer and run the package on other computer.

P.S. I' m using Oracle Source where in I have to give the user name and password in order to connect it.

To use Oracle for development you have to install the correct Oracle client for the version of Oracle you are connecting to and you need a TNS.ORA file with your connection info and permissions in your development folder because your error says your permissions could not be resolved. One more thing if your database is in 9i make sure your client is for 9i and not 10g. Hope this helps.

|||What should be my protection Level in Package in order to make work anywhere on any computer. I am using user name; and password in order to connect to server|||

Microsoft support have covered the protection level and related issues in link one and two covers how to use the Agent to run your packages.
