The application seems to work properly in different systems with the above conn string...Is it something else that I need tocheck like ODBC settings ?

I guess by having oracle client installed will do the job...

anymore suggestions are welcome

carl_tawn and I are suggesting the same thing that TheHartford needs to check that the Oracle client is installed correctly on that particular machine
