OSX SQLPLUS error:ORA-12162:TNS:net service name is incorrectly specified

Dear oracle community,
just stepped today into oracle world.
Installed OracleXE on my remote UBUNTU server.
From the server, sqlplus works perfectly.
From my client (followed this tutorial http://www.danilovizzarro.it/?p=10 ), i can connect via the
sqlplus connection string: #sqlplus hr/PASS@HOSTipADDRESS/XE .
But when i try just sqlplus and enter username/password later on, i get
ORA-12162:TNS:net service name is incorrectly specified .
My config:
OS - MAC OS X LEOPARD 10.5.5
#echo $ORACLE_SID
XE
#echo $ORACLE_HOME
/opt/oracle/instantclient_10_2/
#echo $TNS_ADMIN
/opt/oracle/tns/
# cat /opt/oracle/tns/tnsnames.ora
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = HOSTipADDRESS)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = XE)
Any ideas - is it that sqlplus doesn't locate my tnsnames.ora file, or, maybe, there's an error in it?
thanks for any ideas, recipies, suggestions :)
enjoy the day,
james

If I understand you correctly you only give userid and password,but no connect string. That would be a LOCAL connection,which will not work,because you issue the command on the client,not the database server. For local connections you have to specify a value for ORACLE_SID. If you do that on your client (doesn't make sense , because you don't have a database here), you should see a message like 'Oracle not available'. If ORACLE_SID is not defined you get ORA-12162,which is a little misleading.

Net service name is incorrectly specified

Hi,
Please can anyone explain me why am I getting this error ?
" ORA-12162: TNS:net service name is incorrectly specified "
Thanks

ORA-12162: TNS:net service name is incorrectly specified
Cause: The connect descriptor corresponding to the net service name in TNSNAMES.ORA or in the directory server (Oracle Internet Directory) is incorrectly specified.
Action: If using local naming make sure there are no syntax errors in the corresponding connect descriptor in the TNSNAMES.ORA file. If using directory naming check the information provided through the administration used for directory naming.

And yet, it doesn't work!
=============
"I have checked my tnsnames.ora file at the database system "
when you start sqlplus ... is that on the same machine that is running the db, or some other machine? Remember .. (and I'm really feeling like a broken record on this one) TNSNAMES.ORA IS USED BY THE CLIENT PROCESS.
Show us the contents of your listener.ora file -- from the server machine
Show us the contents of your tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files -- from the client machine.

i think you want to connect to a databaseServer on the local host.
set the ORACLE_SID variable with the command
export ORACLE_SID=<here_the_name_of your_database>
with bash shell.
then start sqlplus with
sqlplus system
and type the password at the following prompt. default password for system is
manager
better not use the user/password cmdline,
cause other users on this system can see your password in the processList (ps ax).
create a demo user, i found no user scott after installing.
have fun

=================================
A couple of important points.
First, the listener is a server side only process. It's entire purpose in life is to receive requests for connections to databases and set up those connections. Once the connection is established, the listener is out of the picture. It creates the connection. It doesn't sustain the connection. One listener, with the default name of LISTENER, running from one oracle home, listening on a single port, will serve multiple database instances of multiple versions running from multiple homes. It is an unnecessary complexity to try to have multiple listeners or to name the listener as if it belongs to a particular database. That would be like the telephone company building a separate switchboard for each customer.
Additional notes on the listener: One listener is capable of listening on multiple ports. But please notice that it is the listener using these ports, not the database instance. You can't bind a specific listener port to a specific db instance. Similarly, one listener is capable of listnening on multiple IP addresses (in the case of a server with multiple NICs) But just like the port, you can't bind a specific ip address to a specific db instance.
Second, the tnsnames.ora file is a client side issue. It's purpose is for address resolution - the tns equivalent of the 'hosts' file further down the network stack. The only reason it exists on a host machine is because that machine can also run client processes.
Assume you have the following in your tnsnames.ora:
larry =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = curley)
)Now, when you issue a connect, say like this:
$> sqlplus scott/tiger@larrytns will look in your tnsnames.ora for an entry called 'larry'. Next, tns sends a request to (PORT = 1521) on (HOST = myhost) using (PROTOCOL = TCP), asking for a connection to (SERVICE_NAME = curley).
Where is (HOST = myhost) on the network? When the request gets passed from tns to the next layer in the network stack, the name 'myhost' will get resolved to an IP address, either via a local 'hosts' file, via DNS, or possibly other less used mechanisms. You can also hard-code the ip address (HOST = 123.456.789.101) in the tnsnames.ora.
Next, the request arrives at port 1521 on myhost. Hopefully, there is a listener on myhost configured to listen on port 1521, and that listener knows about SERVICE_NAME = curley. If so, you'll be connected.
What can go wrong?
First, there may not be an entry for 'larry' in your tnsnames. In that case you get "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified" No need to go looking for a problem on the host, with the listener, etc. If you can't place a telephone call because you don't know the number (can't find your telephone directory (tnsnames.ora) or can't find the party you are looking for listed in it (no entry for larry)) you don't look for problems at the telephone switchboard.
Maybe the entry for larry was found, but myhost couldn't be resolved to an IP address (say there was no entry for myhost in the local hosts file). This will result in "ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist"
Maybe there was an entry for myserver in the local hosts file, but it specified a bad IP address. This will result in "ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist"
Maybe the IP was good, but there is no listener running: "ORA-12541: TNS:no listener"
Maybe the IP was good, there is a listener at myhost, but it is listening on a different port. "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error"
Maybe the IP was good, there is a listener at myhost, it is listening on the specified port, but doesn't know about SERVICE_NAME = curley. "ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor"
Third: If the client is on the same machine as the db instance, it is possible to connect without referencing tnsnames and without going through the listener.
Now, when you issue a connect, say like this:
$> sqlplus scott/tigertns will attempt to establish an IPC connection to the db instance. How does it know the name of the instance? It uses the current value of the enviornment variable ORACLE_SID. So...
$> export ORACLE_SID=fred
$> sqlplus scott/tigerIt will attempt to connect to the instance known as "fred". If there is no such instance, it will, of course, fail. Also, if there is no value set for ORACLE_SID, the connect will fail.
check executing instances to get the SID

ERROR:
ORA-12162: TNS:net service name is incorrectly specifiedOk, that is how we get from the client connection request to the listener. What about the listener's part of all this?
The listener is very simple. It's job is to listen for connection requests and make the connection (server process) between the client and the database instance. Once that connection is made, the listener is out of the picture. If you were to kill the listener, all existing connections would continue. The listener is configured with the listener.ora file, but if that file doesn't exist, the listener is quite capable of starting up with all default values. One common mistake with the listner configuration is to specify "HOST=localhost" or "HOST=127.0.01". This is a NONROUTABLE ip address. LOCALHOST and ip address 127.0.0.1 always mean "this machine on which I am sitting". So, all computers are known as "localhost" or "127.0.0.1". If you specify this address, the listener will only be capable of receiving requests from the machine on which it is running. If you specified that address in your tnsnames file - on a remote client machine - the request would be routed to the machine on which the requesting client resides. Probably not what you want.

Thanks,

The listener is up , the message is from the listener indicating the listener does not know of SID/SERVICE name that you are giving it. Manually connect to the db using sqldeveloper in order to make sure the parameters you are providing are working. Pay special attention to SID vs SERVICE_NAME. Then try to open config tool and go back to your database connection info. Reconfigure your database connection. It will likely you will find your connection error there. Also sometimes the config tool has trouble figuring out whether you mean SID or SERVICE_NAME. You can open advanced properties on the connection in configtool and specify / or : in the url.

you can turn on net tracing by setting the following sqlnet.ora parameters:
TRACE_DIRECTORY_CLIENT = c:\temp
TRACE_UNIQUE_CLIENT = on
trace_level_client = admin
then review trace files or send them to oracle support to see the cause of this error

Yes, the XP firewall is running. During the Oracle instalation it poped up twice, but I selected 'Unblock'. I can't turn it off because it is running using the domain settings, but I can add exceptions (programs or ports). Port 1521, tnsping or sqlplus are not blocked and there is an option 'Display a notification when Windows Firewall blocks a program' witch is checked.

Hello JK,
Thanks a lot for specific response.
SQL> select INST_ID, NAME, VALUE from gv$parameter where name like '%_listener%';
INST_ID NAME VALUE
1 local_listener (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(AD
DRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=xxx_
data1-vip)(PORT=1521))))
1 remote_listener xxxdata-scan:1521
2 local_listener (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(AD
DRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=xxx_
data2-vip)(PORT=1521))))
2 remote_listener xxxdata-scan:1521
If I add REMOTE_LISTENER pointing to SCAN ip address, Does it require DB bounce ? (Its production DB)
Regards,
LazyDBA

ORA-12203 : TNS : unable to connect to destination
how i connect report and form with oracle8i which two file in copy into developer folder
please give he solution
thanking your

$ oerr ora 12203
12203, 00000, "TNS:unable to connect to destination"
// *Cause: Invalid address specified or destination is not listening.
// This error can also occur because of underlying network or network
// transport problems.
// *Action: Verify that the net service name you entered was correct.
// Verify that the ADDRESS portion of the connect descriptor which
// corresponds to the net service name is correct. Ensure that the
// destination process (for example the listener) is running at the
// remote node.
$In Developer Home check that TNS alias in tnsnames.ora has no errors. Are you able to connect from Sql*Plus from Developer Home, using same alias ?
Also check that the listener is running on DB machine.
how i connect report and form with oracle8i which two file in copy into developer folder What does it mean exactly ?

OSX SQLPLUS error:ORA-12162:TNS:net service name is incorrectly specified
