Hi s reddy,
You are doing a pretty good job of creating the dsn. the only thing you are missing is the service name. Service Name is used by the oracle driver to connect to the data base.
You need to create a service using Oracle SQL Net tools. When a service is created, oracle basically writes the connection configuration into tnsnames.ora file. which should look something like this.
(description=(address=(host=ServerName)(protocol=tcp)(port=1521))(connect_data=(sid=orcl)))
And after you are done with the service created, specify the service name in your dsn configuration.
it should work.
