Configure Oracle Database Gateway for Microsoft SQL Server

Make sure that the MS SQL database details are correct in the dg4msql parameter file.

-bash-3.00$ more $ORACLE_HOME/dg4msql/admin/initdg4msql.ora

# This is a customized agent init file that contains the HS parameters
# that are needed for the Database Gateway for Microsoft SQL Server

#
# HS init parameters
#
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=[SERVER127]:4076//NewCDP16
# alternate connect format is hostname/serverinstance/databasename
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=OFF
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_ACCOUNT=RECOVER
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_PWD=RECOVER

-bash-3.00$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
Append following in existing listener.ora. Change the name, path and port as required.
