How do I connect Brio Explorer Intelligence to an Oracle Database

User_PVOU5Dec 13 2022 — edited Dec 15 2022

Hi - I'm a new poster and not very tech minded. I got a new Win10 laptop with Oracle and Brio Explorer installed. I previously had these installed on my old laptop with Brio successfully contacted to an Oracle DB. However, with the new laptop, I can't connect Brio to the Oracle database. The error I'm getting is a TNSNAMES error. So, I need to let Brio know the database server/port details but I don't know how to do this. On my old laptop, I can't find/see where this TNSNAMES file is saved, if indeed this is the connection protocol.
Any suggestions on how I can connect Brio to an Oracle DB? Please dumb down answers to help me understand. Thanks. R
