Solution

Installation Guide connection string example. is incorrect.
Do not use hp in the string. Instead use mercury. (See example below)

jdbc:mercury:oracle:TNSNamesFile=C:appAdministratorproduct11.2.0client_1networkadmintnsnames.ora;TNSServerName=Oracle10g

Incorrect Syntax:
jdbc:hp:oracle:TNSNamesFile=C:appAdministratorproduct11.2.0client_1networkadmintnsnames.ora;TNSServerName=Oracle10g
