    Hi,

     the error message refers to the Data Source name which seems not to exist. Have you checked your Connection string regarding this?

    Have you actually created the data source name (DSN) on your machine for the database? That is required to connect to databases such as Oracle from PAD. See this guide on how to do it: https://www.ihsenergy.ca/support/documentation_ca/Harmony/content/html_files/setting_up_your_database_for_import/creating_a_dsn/creating_a_dsn_for_an_oracle_db.htm
