Data Guard Broker teasing error ORA-12514: TNS:listener

Question

Hello,
I have spent many hours but don't understand what little thing I am missing or confusing me.. Please help to fix the issue.
Physical Standb db created successfully, but now facing following issue: Though it should be and must be fixed but really making me mad
DGMGRL> SHOW CONFIGURATION;
Configuration - DATA GUARD
  Protection Mode: MaxPerformance
  Databases:
    dg - Primary database

Failed.
PRIM:

# TNSNAMES same entries on both Primary and Standby: HOSTNAMES are different.

      (ORACLE_HOME = /oracle/app/11g/db)

       (SERVICE_NAME = dg.domain)
# Listener.ora on Standby:

    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = db02.domain)(PORT = 1521))
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
I created Stby DB with the minimum parameters required, so that I configure BROKER and see it magic, but badly stuck in this situation here. I have read many docs related to this..but can not fix it unfortunately.
Please guide me from your own experience as note ids, blogs are not helping me here...
Bundle of thanks.
Best Regards

Hi,
Your listener.ora file has SERVICE_NAME = dg_db2.domain whereas tnsnames.ora file has SERVICE_NAME = dg_db2.
Check in your database for exact service name and reflect the same in both the files.
SQL> sho parameter service_names
Restart the listener and try connecting.
Thank you!!
