You must be hitting some sort of oracle-specific issue (on which I will be of no help). My AIE instances draw their data from a dedicated SQL Server that has databases populated from our eDir LDAP and PeopleSoft property systems. The SQL Server hosting the ARSystem database is on yet another, completely different SQL Server. The two SQL Servers, the AR Server, and the AIE server are all on separate machines, with connections limited to their subnet.

The Server is 7.1 patch 3 and using MSSQL. I have installed the 10g client and can talk to the remote Oracle system using sqlplus from the box where the arserver is running. There is nothing in any log that I can find, that shows any attempt of the AIE trying to connect to the Oracle database. I did try setting up the AIE to talk to a MSSQL database and that worked. I am starting to wonder if, you can only talk to a database that the server talks to (for example in my case only MSSQL, since that is what the server is talking to). Any ideas, as of yet BMC support has had non.
