Oracle connection from Windows Virtual PC(XP MODE)

3305847Aug 31 2016 — edited Nov 24 2016

Hello All,

I am using Windows 7 PC. Where I cannot use Oracle Forms Builder as there it will not work in Windows 7.

Hence I am using Windows Virtual PC in Windows 7, and I installed Dev Suite. Now I am able to open oracle form builder .fmb files.

But I could n connect to Oracle DB, it throws ORA-12154 TNS could not resolve connect Identifier.

I am able to connect from Windows 7 normal mode. Do I have to install Oracle clients in Virtual PC?

I updated the Path variable in virtual PC where it has the tnsnames.ora in windows 7.

What is the solution?

Regards,
