Troubleshooting connection issue between Oracle Database & OpKey

Symptoms:

While connecting OpKey with the Oracle database, located on local or remote machine, OpKey users come across such issues:
System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for system.data: Column ‘InvariantName’ is constrained to be unique. Value ‘Oracle.DataAccess.Client’ is already present.

Cause:
The most common cause of such type of issue is installing or uninstalling of ODAC driver multiple times.
Resolution: The resolution for the above cause is to remove one row from the machine.config file of Microsoft.Net folder.
The machine.config file can be found at the following path: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config

The row to be deleted is given below:

Note:
Check before row deletion: Please check that the row with the above given value exists twice in the machine.config file. Now remove the last row with these values.
