Answer

1) Download the 64 bit Oracle client installation (eg win64_11gR2_client.zip) from the Oracle website

3) Copy oci.dll from the <Oracle Client installation directory> into:
<Probe/Integration Service installation directory>\lib.

      - select Local Net Service Name Configuration

      - select Add - and add the name of the Oracle SID that the Integration point will connect to

      - Next -

      - Add the IP/Host of the machine hosting the Oracle database

     - At the command prompt on the probe machine - run tnsping <sid> and no error should be returned

 

The Integration point can then be set up by following the AM Adapter documentation
