I'm using Beta 4, Build 1141.  I copied the instance 'string' from ArcCatalog 10.2.0 to the instance string input box in ArcGIS Pro. The ArcCatalog connection dialog box is on the left and the AGP dialog box is on the right.  They are identical

I have no problem connecting to and editing this SDE database via ArcMap, which strongly suggests that the Oracle client libraries are properly installed on my computer.    But I get the following error from AGP when I click 'OK'

---------------------------

Connection Error

---------------------------

Failed to connect to the specified server.

A database connection exception has occurred.

Cannot connect to database because the database client software failed to load.  Be sure the database client software is installed and configured correctly.

---------------------------

OK

---------------------------

Any ideas what's going on or how I can correct this problem?  I realize that this is a beta version......

Asrujit:

Do you know where the .sde files would be stored for Pro in a Windows 10 environment?

I can find the .sde files for ArcCatalog at 

C:\Users\"User Name"\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.3\ArcCatalog

I found the location, at least for me:

C:\Users\"User Name"\AppData\Local\ESRI\Index\Connections

Now I imported an mxd into a new Pro project with 1 SDE layer, but this SDE connection did not get added to this location.  It appears that only database connections created within a Pro project get the SDE connection file added to this location.  It would be nice for all distinct SDE connection files to be added to the above location in the Pro project automatically so they can be used to add additional SDE layers to the Pro project.
