Setting up usage tracking with Direct insert set to No - obiee

I'm trying to set up OBIEE 10g usage tracking feature and dashboard reports, with Direct Insert equals to No i.e. with flat file.
I have deployed/merged usage RPD and catalog with my existing RPD/catalog and set NQSConfig.ini parameters accordingly (DIRECT_INSERT=NO).
However, I'm the usage tracking reports fail to run due to some ORA error. This is obvious since these reports are being redirected to database (probably these are setup for DIRECT_INSERT=Yes)
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 12154, message: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified at OCI call OCIServerAttach. [nQSError: 17014] Could not connect to Oracle database. (HY000)
How can I configure these reports to work with the log file (DIRECT_INSERT=NO).
Thanks.

Failed to save modifications to the server. Error returned: 'OLE DB or ODBC error: [DataSource.Error]

I am using the SSAS to develop the tabular model. I am able to extract the data from the database. However, when I try to deploy I keep on getting this error.
Failed to save modifications to the server. Error returned: 'OLE DB or ODBC error: [DataSource.Error] An error happened while reading data from the provider: 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'. '.
I have tried many solution like:
Check my database connection
Check the datatype in the table
However, none of the solution works.
Is there a way to find the issue with the Object reference not set to an instance of an object error?

OBIEE12c answers encounter an Odbc driver error

After migrating OBIEE from 11g to 12c, BI answers encounter the following error.
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. (HY000)
State: HY000. Code: 43113. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. EVALUATE_SUPPORT_LEVEL inside NQSConfig.INI is not set to support EVALUATE. (HY000)
The following workaround can fix the issue.
Go to the NQSConfig.INI file location
File location:$DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/biconfig/OBIS/
Open the NQSConfig.INI
Change the following line
EVALUATE_SUPPORT_LEVEL = 0;
to
EVALUATE_SUPPORT_LEVEL = 2;
Restart the OBIEE12c services
The error is saying that the analysis is using an evaluate function which is passing the function down to the database rather than using logical SQL that is interpreted by the BI server. By default the use of evaluate is disabled.
To enable it you set the EVALUATE_SUPPORT_LEVEL in NQSConfig.INI as per the other answer.

DBlink error when querying the remote table

I am creating DB link by using below command. I have not updated tnsnames.ora instead I used details in the commmand.
CREATE DATABASE LINK test
CONNECT TO apps IDENTIFIED BY xyzabc
USING '(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=awsss3270429.us.dell.com)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=dell122de))';
The DBLink was created successfully. but
When I fired below query I got the error.
select * from USER_CS_SRS#test; . table `USER_CS_SRS` exist in remote database.
Error is attached.
I am quite new to DB. Can anybody help me on the same.
You are missing a closing parenthesis at the end of your connection string. Your create statement should end:
...(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=opm122de)))';
-----------------------------------------^
Recreating what you posted:
CREATE DATABASE LINK test
CONNECT TO apps IDENTIFIED BY xyzabc
USING '(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=rws3270429.us.oracle.com)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=opm122de))';
select * from USER_CS_SRS#test;
Error report -
SQL Error: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
...
Adding the final ) changes that:
drop database link test;
CREATE DATABASE LINK test
CONNECT TO apps IDENTIFIED BY xyzabc
USING '(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=rws3270429.us.oracle.com)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=opm122de)))';
select * from USER_CS_SRS#test;
Error report -
SQL Error: ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
...
which is a different error; for me that's entirely reasonable because I can't resolve rws3270429.us.oracle.com, never mind reach it. As your profile says you work for Oracle, presumably you can - and this either works or throws a different error. Either way the original ORA-12154 error has been fixed.

SSIS project not working when reading from Oracle

I've been trying to create an SSIS project to read from an Oracle 11.x database to an SQL Server database.
When I set this up in Visual Studio 10 Shell, I do not receive any logs . It gives me a successful message but nothing happens.
I tried to connect to an Oracle 12c database and the same happened.
I tried to get data from an Oracle 11.x project and dump it into an excel file. I also tried to get data from an Oracle 11.x table and dump it into a new Oracle 11.x table (in the same database) and in both cases I got the following error:

Can anyone help me please?
Thank you
You haven't posted how you are trying to get data from oracle exactly so can say much about the error. I can only give my solution in 2008 r2:
create an oracle linked server in your sql server and then use an open query in the SSIS package to pull anything you need

What could I be missing? How can this be resolved?
If you right click on the project and go to properties --> Configuration Properties --> Debugging, did you make sure Run64BitRuntime is False? Sometimes that gets toggles to True and will break it.
What exactly do you mean by executing the package? Execute it from BIDS/SSDT or SQL Server agent?
Are there any configuration files/dynamic configurations that you are using? From what it appears, the tnsnames.ora file that your connection manager is using at run time has bad connection information.
SSDT 2017 connecting to Oracle 9i.
Issue : on my windows 10 laptop I had installed 10G 32 Bit and 11G 64 bit client installed
Resolution : Remove all the clients and install only one version of Client 11G both 32 and 64 bit client and SSIS worked like a charm
