My LISTENER looks like this:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1)
(SID_NAME = ora11g)
(SID_DESC =
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1)
(SID_NAME = CLONEDB)
TNS Names:
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)
CLONEDB=
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost) (PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = CLONEDB)
And SQLNet.ora
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES,HOSTNAME, EZCONNECT)
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hello,
I think there is something wrong with the ")" in the listener.ora : the second SID_DESC is not part of the SID_LIST.
Instead of
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1)
(SID_NAME = ora11g)
(SID_DESC =
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1)
(SID_NAME = CLONEDB)
)It should be :
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1)
(SID_NAME = ora11g)
(SID_DESC =
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1)
(SID_NAME = CLONEDB)
)Hope it will help.
