Special characters in the installation path of Sybase IQ ETL Development or Server may lead to problems in accessing databases.
For example, connecting to an Oracle database client returns the following error when Sybase IQ ETL Server is installed in a path containing parentheses, such as C:\Program Files (x86)\Sybase:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
Sybase recommends selecting installation paths that contain only alphanumeric characters. To avoid parentheses issues, remove “(x86),” which is added by the Windows 2003 EE 64-bit operating system, from the default target directory during installation.
