ORA-12504 tns listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT-DATA

Hi
i installed a fresh oracle linux and installes 11.2.0 database server. the server works fine but i have a proplem to connect to the database from a windows 2008 r2
client. For the client connection i installed the oracle instantclient on the windows system. Now i want to configure the system dsn to connect to the oracle
server like this
data source description: vSphere 64
description: ----
TNS Service Name: VCDB
user id: system
then i go to TEST connection
Service Name: VCDB
user name: system
Password: mypassword
so i copied the tnsnames.ora from the server to the client
then i get
ora-12504 tns listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT-DATA
here´s my tnsnames.ora from the client
VCDB =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 172.31.98.173)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = vcdb.vmware)
i tested serveral config´s but nothing works. I can ping the server and also i cn telnet the server on port 1521. The listener on the server works fine

but it´s not possible to create a connection to the server. My enviroment variables are this

ORACLE_HOSTNAME=vc-db1.mydomain
ORACLE_SID=vcdb
ORACLE_TERM=xterm
so i think on the server site everything is correct. How could i establish a connection from the windows client
to the linux database server. Or is ODBC the wrong method for this?
Kind regards

Hi,
Check the listener log and see if the connection information is logged (in this case with error)
If logged, then we are reaching the correct listener.
Then check tnsping VCDB works fine along with sqlplus connection through listener using VCDB as connect string.
If above both works, then issue can be isolated to ODBC configuration or setup issue.
In case even if the tnsping / sqlplus is failing to connect with VCDB, then worth taking a client sqlent trace at level 16 and listener trace at level 16 to analyse the issue further.
Thanks,
Sathya

TNS:listener was not given the SID in CONNECT_DATA

Hi Experts,
I would like share my current issues that might you have this.
Currently we have 1 external application that need to connect to oracle DB.
The input are 3 things, database type (oracle), servername, DB username and password.
I have created another SID on my DB. so 1 oracle running 2 SID.
My tnsname.ora would be:
NKD.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (COMMUNITY = SAP.WORLD)(PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = vdhsnkd)(PORT = 1527))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = NKD)
(GLOBAL_NAME = NKD.WORLD)
NKD_ORG.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (COMMUNITY = SAP.WORLD)(PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = vdhsnkd)(PORT = 1527))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SID = NKDORG)
(SERVICE_NAME = NKD_ORG)
(GLOBAL_NAME = NKD_ORG.WORLD)
LISTENER_NKDORG.WORLD =
(ADDRESS = (COMMUNITY = SAP.WORLD)(PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = vdhsnkd)(PORT = 1527))
and my listener.ora
ADR_BASE_LISTENER_NKDORG = /oracle
SID_LIST_LISTENER_NKD =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = NKD)
(ORACLE_HOME = /oracle/NKD/112_64)
CONNECT_TIMEOUT_LISTENER_NKD = 10
LISTENER_NKDORG =

STARTUP_WAIT_TIME_LISTENER_NKD = 0
ADMIN_RESTRICTIONS_LISTENER_NKD = on
LISTENER_NKD =

(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = NKD.WORLD))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = NKD))
(ADDRESS = (COMMUNITY = SAP.WORLD)(PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = vdhsnkd)(PORT = 1527))
TNSping successfull, lsnrctl status have The listener supports no services.
I can connect to DB via sqlplus.
But everytime the apps try to connect always given me: TNS:listener was not given the SID in CONNECT_DATA

Hello;
I think the issue is here, using both a service_name and a SID.
NKD_ORG.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (COMMUNITY = SAP.WORLD)(PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = vdhsnkd)(PORT = 1527))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SID = NKDORG)
(SERVICE_NAME = NKD_ORG)
(GLOBAL_NAME = NKD_ORG.WORLD)
)SID missing from the CONNECT_DATA
NKD_ORG.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (COMMUNITY = SAP.WORLD)(PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = vdhsnkd)(PORT = 1527))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SID = NKDORG)
(SERVICE_NAME = NKD_ORG)
(GLOBAL_NAME = NKD_ORG.WORLD)
)should be
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = NKD_ORG)
) You have (SERVER = DEDICATED) and (SID = NKDORG) between
In any event this is almost always an issue with the tsnames.ora file.

Worth checking the parameter "local_listener" I'm thinking this should be set default.
Also check lsnrctl status and/or restart/start the listener

Hi...Please help...Getting ORA 12154 TNS Listener could not resolve...

Hi,
I have just loaded Oracle 10g Rel 2 in Win 2003 Enterprise Edition.
But when I try to connect to sqlplus, I am getting ORA -12154 : TNS: Listener could not resolve the connect identified specified.
I have registered the database, the listener and tnsnames have been set correctly.
I have also set the Oracle Home environment variable.
Still getting the error.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

I agree
ORA-12145: (does not exist in the standard manuals)
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
ORA-12541: TNS:no listener
It is pretty easy to fat-finger these 4 message numbers. As a result, when a person has the actual and complete error message and an error number for a different message, it is usually not a bad idea to use the actual message. (Based on transposing only 3 digits compared to typing over 50 characters correctly.)
In this case the OP has really bollixed things: Subject implies a true 12154, text in the thread is an actual 12514 but mentions 12154.
As a result, there are several potentially correct answers, depending on the interpretation of the question.
- sb92075 gave the correct answer based on the number
- I gave the correct answer based on the message in the thread
- Anurag and Ed gave the correct answer based on 'the question is not formed correctly'

Any suggestions
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the response Frank,
I got this issue resolved, I did find out that there were 2 db connections were there , One Connection I name was Scott and other as FOD. Scott had correct SID, and FOD had incorrect SID as XE. So I deleted the FOD Connection. and renamed the Scott Connection to FOD( SID is still Scott).

ORA-12514: TNS:listener could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in connect descriptor

Has anybody encountered this issue?
I'm thinking of de-installing 10g now...
Thanks in advance.

ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
Cause: The listener received a request to establish a connection to a database or other service. The connect descriptor received by the listener specified a service name for a service (usually a database service) that either has not yet dynamically registered with the listener or has not been statically configured for the listener. This may be a temporary condition such as after the listener has started, but before the database instance has registered with the listener.
Action:
- Wait a moment and try to connect a second time.
- Check which services are currently known by the listener by executing: lsnrctl services <listener name>
- Check that the SERVICE_NAME parameter in the connect descriptor of the net service name used specifies a service known by the listener.
- If an easy connect naming connect identifier was used, check that the service name specified is a service known by the listener.
- Check for an event in the listener.log file.
Pay special attention to these possible reasons:
- Check which services .......
- Check that the SERVICE_NAME parameter ...........
There's a mismatch between service_name is tnsnames.ora and service_name known by the actual listener.

Try on the server where it doesn't work:
sqlplus ismdba/xxxxx@"(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = torora60)(PORT = 1522))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = rman09na)))"
or
tnsping "(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = torora60)(PORT = 1522))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = rman09na)))"
(note the double quotes)
If that works then your tnsnames.ora is incorrect on that server.

Obviously there is no handler for XE service.
Maybe you changed hostname(this should be "Owner-PC") ?
Try to manually start/stop db and see if there are some errors:
sqlplus / as sysdba
startup
shutdown immediate
If after that you still can't find cause, try to ask on oracle db forum.

to connect sister co's database it works well and then i create db

but when i create string from head office to port database
its giving me error when i test string during wizard
Connecting..

Although from port databse i can connect to head office database succesfully.
I am giving correct machine name and sid during creating string from database SQL*NET configuration wizard.
Why its giving ORA-12514 from Head office to connect port database
but not from Port to Head office database nor from Head office to
sister co's Data base?

ORA-12514: TNS:listener could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in conne

I am running Oracle 8.1.7.1.4 on Windows 2000. After I created a database TEST using a script created by my previous colleague, I got the following error:
sqlplus SYSTEM/PASSWORD@TEST
ERROR:
ORA-12514: TNS:listener could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in connect descriptor
Enter user-name:
But if I enter system as username and the password, I could connect to sqlplus without any problem.
I checked the OracleServiceTest is running as a Service, and here is what in my tnsnames.ora.
TEST.UNHQ.UN.ORG =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =

Here is what in my listener.ora file.
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = TEST)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\oracle\ora817)

The following is what in my sqlnet.ora file.
NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN = unhq.un.org
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, ONAMES, HOSTNAME)
Here are a few important lines in my init.ora file.
db_name=TEST
instance_name = TEST
service_names = TEST
I tried to use sqlplus system/[email protected], but got the same error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Werner:
Thank you very much for your suggestions. Yeah, I have
a db_domain = UNHQ.UN.ORG in my init.ora file. I tried
to append it manually into the service_names in my
init.ora file and made corresponding changes to
tnsnames.ora file. Now I could access to TEST database
without any problem.
I have another question. How can I prevent the
db_domain from appending to SERVICE_NAMES by default?
By set it to db_domain="" or just don't have it in my
init.ora file? I don't want to have the domain name
appearing in my SERVICE_NAMES.
Thanks,
Jane

ORA-12504 tns listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT-DATA
