)ok, so we know what your config files look like, but we don't know what you DID to generate the error - we don't know what your exact connect command was.
We also don't know if you tried to connect from the server or a remote client
We also don't know if the tnsnames you show is from the same machine as you were using as the client when you got the error
We also don't know if there were more than one tnsnames on the machine as you were using as the client when you got the error
From a command prompt on the db server, issue 'lsnrctl status'.
From a command prompt on the client machine, perform a tnsping and also an actual connect attempt.
Copy both entire sessions - commands and response - and past into your next post.

I have a java code that tries to connect to my oracle database.Below given the code snippet.
I am getting error when I ran this code.
Java code.

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.

OEM 10g - ORA-12505: TNS:listener does not currently know of SID...

Hello,
In OEM (version 10.1.0.5 on Red Hat linux 4), on the page Database Instance: dbexemple.domain.be
It says:
- Database Instance > up
- Listener > up
- Agent connection to database > Status: Failed
Details: Failed to connect to database instance: ORA-12505: TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach).
And my OEM database is always in Blackout state.
I can connect on the database and if I select from global_name it gives me the good name.
If I do lsnrctl status
Service "dbexemple.domain.be" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "emrep", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
If I do lsnrctl services
Service "dbexemple.domain.be" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "dbexemple", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
Handler(s):
"DEDICATED" established:44 refused:0 state:ready
LOCAL SERVER
So all looks normal. But my DB is still in blackout state.
I did stop and start the agent > no change
I did shutdown and start the database > no change
I did stop the agent delete the $oracle_home/sysmen/emd/... files and start the agent and emctl upload... > no change
In the targets.xml file from the agent I have:
<Target TYPE="oracle_database" NAME="dbexemple.domain.be">
<Property NAME="OracleHome" VALUE="/oracle/product/db10g"/>
<Property NAME="UserName" VALUE="###" ENCRYPTED="TRUE"/>
<Property NAME="MachineName" VALUE="machine.domain.be"/>
<Property NAME="Port" VALUE="1521"/>
<Property NAME="SID" VALUE="dbexemple"/>
<Property NAME="ServiceName" VALUE="dbexemple.domain.be"/>
<Property NAME="password" VALUE="###" ENCRYPTED="TRUE"/>
</Target>
Seems good also
My tnsnames.ora
DBEXEMPLE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = machine.domain.be)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = dbexemple.domain.be)
tnsping dbexemple is also good:
Used LDAP adapter to resolve the alias
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=machine)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=dbexemple.domain.be)))
OK (10 msec)
The DB is not in the listener.ora but anyway at the startup of the database the database register in the listener (can take some seconds).
In OEM if I look at blackout, it says no blackout exists
So after all these verifications my OEM database is still in blackout status and remain in blackout.
I would like to find the reason why it stays like this and the agent finally stop giving me an error.
thank you for your help,
Loïc

The fact is that I did not set any blackout for the emrep database. (no blackout are set at the moment in fact)
So, we did change the HDD of the computer were was OEM to another HDD.
The update to 10.1.0.5 was made before all this (2 weeks) and no problem appears after that.
There's no blackout in OEM Blackouts:
No Blackouts found.
and no blackout with emctl:
[oracle@computeroem bin]$ ./emctl status blackout

For the note, mostly I cannot do anything because I have no blackout name for the script. Still reading the note to see if some sql can help.

Error ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in co

Hi ,
When I am running the jdeveoper for my adf application , I am getting the follwoing error:
starting weblogic with Java version:
java version "1.6.0_14"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_14-b08)
weblogic.common.ResourceException: weblogic.common.ResourceException: Could not create pool connection. The DBMS driver exception was: Listener refused the connection with the following error:
ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor
=================================================
I am using scott as the dabase name i.e. SID is scott and jdev version is 11.1.1.2, I am able to connect to scott database using sqlplus. e.g. hr/hr@scott is working fine in sqlplus.
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).

When the time of database connection got ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID

Test failed: Listener refused the connection with the following error:
ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor

The error means it is connecting to a server with Oracle on it but it does not know of a database with the SID you have supplied.
You say "Test failed" - are you talking about the Create Database Connection dialog?
If so then check the values in the Host Name and SID boxes. If you have a DBA then verify these are the correct values (also check the listener port with him/her, normally 1521).
Is your SID just a single word or with dots e.g. of the form mydb.mycompany.world? If the latter then try using the Service Name rather than the SID.

CF MX7- ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor

Hi all,
My System:
ColdFusion MX
Version 7,0,2
Windows 2003
Oracle 10G
tnsnames.ora
ABC.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = fds1611.HHS.com)(PORT = 1521))
    (LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = abc)
This is how I setup in the CF Administrator:
CF Data Source: myDataSource
JDBC URL: jdbc:oracle:thin:@fds1611.HHS.com:1521:ABC
Driver Class: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
It is used to run fine with Oracle9; we upgraded to Oracle10G. I wonder if that is the caused? What I need to do. Please help!
I am able to connect to the database using Toad/SQL+, so I think tnsnames/Listener is fine.
Error Msg:
Connection verification failed for data source: myDataSource
java.sql.SQLException: Listener refused the connection with the following error:
ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor
The Connection descriptor used by the client was: fds1611.HHS.com:1521:ABC
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: Listener refused the connection with the following error: ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor The Connection descriptor used by the client was: fds1611.HHS.com:1521:ABC

As you can see, 2 / 3 are started and in service - this time missing DEV. And rightly, when I try to connect to DEV, I got the same error. Besides registering static, do you have any suggestions?
Btw, thank you very much for your help.

RAC Cloning failing with ORA-12505: TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect

Hi Folks
Application cloning is failing with "ORA-12505: TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect"
Database cloning is completed successfuly . database cloned in two nodes node1 and node2
Now cloning applicatino tier with above cloned database nodes but faicing above issue .
Thanks

There are many reasons why an ORA-12505 might be raised at applications cloning. For anyone on this board to assist, you will have to post the log file detail or list the clone execution file which raises this exception.
Thanks,
Arif.
