Hi Steve,
The issue is resolved now,
I was not able to get the provider "Microsoft Access DB 12.0 OLEDB" in the PCO 2.1.5.1 with the "Access Database Engine x64" package installed on the server, recommended the 32-bit version , got it installed on client server and after that I was able to configure the source agent with the required provider "Microsoft Access DB 12.0 OLEDB" for the .xlsx file.
Now MII Query is giving me the Excel file output with proper column values from the excel file.
I have still kept the connector type as OLEDB while configuring in the MII Data Server.
For PCO connecter type, I was not able to configure the URL and it was not working, though not sure why?,[any pointer from you here would help me to learn further] but with OLEDB connector type my requirement is fulfilled it seems, I am yet to test the solution thoroughly, but atleast the main hurdle is now resolved.
For PCO 15 I am sure as you have already assured me about it will work, I will try it in another server having PCO 15 and use PCO connecter type as in that server I was able to configure the URL.
To conclude I guess, it is all about the correct version Access DB installation package to have the driver recognize the particular file in required format for the PCO Version X.X.X.X.
Thanks a lot for your expert suggestions, as they have really helped me to overcome the challenges during the research.
I will get back to you again if needed in future for further suggestions.
Best Regards,
