ORA-12154 error connecting CR 2008 to Oracle XE on Windows 7

I have Crystal 2008 SP3 running on Windows 7. I have Oracle Database Express Edition installed and running. Using the DirectData CR Oracle ODBC Driver 5.1 I test connect fine to Oracle but when I try to use Database Expert to connect to my Oracle database I fail to connect.
The error I get is Failed to open the connection. Details: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified. [Database Vendor Code: 12154]. I've spent a lot of time here trolling for information. My TNSnames.ora file appears to be correctly formatted but I'm not sure if it has the correct information in it. I checked my Path and that may be the problem but I am not technical enough to know what to put there so that this 32-bit driver is the first in the list. It's the driver in Windows/SysWOW64. I just need to be able to run a SQL statement in Oracle and create RPTs in CR - not be an OS Expert. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
This should work, XE is not lsited in our supported platforms PDF but it's still 10.2 which is supported.
There are more tools you can use to debug, third party Connection tests and ProcessMonitor as well as our database logging dll but if you are running out of time I suggest you purchase a single case and a Rep will contact you directly to resolve the problem.
To get a single support case got to:
http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/DisplayProductByTypePage&parentCategoryID=&categoryID=38156200
And No, the ORA file should be in the that folder.
Thanks again

ORA-12154 Error - NET8 Connection Tester Works Though

I have copied over a tnsnames.ora file from another machine I know that works fine. It has one Oracle home.
When I try to connect via SQLPlus or Oracle DBA studio, I get told that it cannot resolve the service name and the ORA-12154 error. However, when I go into Net8 Assistant and test the connection, it work without an issue no matter what login/password I use, from a developers to the system login and password.
Any ideas?

Ora 12154 error when trying to add a database to VS Server Explorer

Hi Everyone,
I get the Ora 12154 error when trying to add a database to VS Server Explorer.
How do I get around this problem.
The database service is running and I can connect to the database with pl/sql.
I can also tnsping the database and that is also ok.
Looks like a problem with the odp.net software.
I am running the 32 bit Oracle 11g on a Windows7 Home Premium 64 bit PC.
I am new to this stuff so please help me step by step.
Thanks.

Hi J. B.
I have a question related to this. After you told me about the //host:1521/database alias I tried it in a VB 2008 program and it worked and returned data. At least I know that it can be used in a VB program without issues. I just now need to be able to add a connection with the Server Explorer.
Anyway here is the VB coding I used. I'm new to this and still learning:
Imports Oracle.DataAccess.Client ' Visual Basic ODP.NET Oracle managed provider
Public Class Form1
' String to connect to the database.
Dim strConnectionString As String = _
"Data Source=//emad-pc:1521/emadeva;User ID=scott;Password=tiger;" '
' Associate the connection string with a connection object.
Dim objOracleConnection As New OracleConnection(strConnectionString)
' SQL query for returning data rows.
Dim strSqlQuery As String = _
"Select dname, deptno " & _
"From dept " & _
"Where deptno = 10" '
' Command object to make this query work.
Dim objOracleCommand As New OracleCommand(strSqlQuery, objOracleConnection)
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
' Identify what type of command is being used.
objOracleCommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text
Try
objOracleConnection.Open()
' Set up a Data Reader and load it with data.
Dim objOracleDataReader As OracleDataReader = _
objOracleCommand.ExecuteReader()
objOracleDataReader.Read()
' Convert the department number to a string.
lblDepartmentNumberFromOracle.Text = _
CStr(objOracleDataReader.Item("deptno"))
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error")
End Try
End Sub
End Class
I still want to thank you for the help you are providing.
Truly,
Emad

ORA-12154 Error After Install of Enterprise Manager

I have a new new laptop with minimal software installed. Everything was fine and I was able to connect to 4 different Oracle 9i databases.
This morning I installed Oracle Enterprise Manager (10g) and now I get the dreaded ORA-12154 error.
I now find a copy of TNSNAMES.ORA in three places. I have copied the correct version to the two new 10G locations and I have verified that all three copies of TNSNAMES.ORA and SQLNET.ORA are correct and identical.
Do anybody have any idea what else could be wrong?

I am certain the TNSNAMES.ORA file is fine as it is "pushed" from a central IT department. I have compared it to the one on a second computer (which has only 9i installed) in my office and they are identical.
I examined the Oracle 9i directories and there was no LISTENER.ORA anywhere. On the 9i only computer the command - C:\>dir listener.ora /s /p executed in a DOS window returned no files.
Everything was working fine until I installed Enterprise Manager 10g (10.2.0.2.1).
I have TOAD installed and it connects to both of the 9i development and production databases, so I know the TNSNAMES.ORA is okay.
It woudl seem that there is a conflict between 10g and 9i Developer/2000.

Ora 12154 error help needed

Hi,
I am a newbie in oracle forms. I have installed oracle database 10gr2 on windows xp in c directory. In D drive i have installed oracle developer suite 10g. When i try to connect database from developer suite i receive ORA 12154 error.
Do i need to change tnsnames.ora in developer suites 'D' directory or in database'C' directory.
Please explain me in steps so that i can configure developer suite.
Thank You

Forms will use its own Tnsnames.ora file so create alias for it
Run NetCA from
START > PROGRAMS > ORACLE - Oracle HOME name > Configuration and Migration tools > Net Configuration Assistant
and create Alias for Local naming
also make sure the Listener and Database is up and running

ORA-12154 error when trying to connect to Oracle 11g DB from Excel 2010

All,
I am trying to set up Excel 2010 64-bit to connect to an Oracle 11g database, but am having some trouble due to an "ORA-12154 could not resolve the connect identifier specified" error. I am able to TNSping the SID name, as well as connect to SQLplus. The TNS entry works, and the Oracle Home is in the right spot. I am even able to put the full connection string in the "Data Source" field when creating a data link in Excel and have it connect to the DB. But I would like to be able to create one that used the SID rather than the full connection string, as other users will have to use this. The developer behind the Excel solution created a number of .odc files to connect to various databases, so this gives extra weight behind figuring out how to connect via a SID rather than a full connection string. Any suggestions?

If you are able to connect with sqlplus, then this really becomes a question of how to define a data connection in Excel.
But after quickly googling ..
In excel ...
"Data" tab
"from other sources"
"from data connection wizard"
select ODBC DSN
On data link properties, select the "connection" tab
select "Use Data Source Name" and hit the drop-down
select a dsn that you had previously set up to point to the oracle database.
Anyway, that looks like how it is supposed to be done. I'm getting a dll initialization error. Probably due to the fact I have both 32-bit and 64-bit oracle clients, and windows never handles that very gracefully. But then Windows never graceffully handles anything that isn't MicroSoft. To paraphrase Forest Gump, "My momma always said Windows was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get."
In any event, the error you report means it was actually tying to look it up in tnsnames, but what you supplied wasn't found there. That can also be a big issue when dealing with MS products, because they don't use the same terminology, so lead people into entering something other than what Oracle expects. Are you referencing an ODBC DSN? If so, have you tested that apart from Excel?

TNS error ORA-12154 : can connect to one server but not to another.

Hello,
I have a Forms 6.0 application running on a Solaris box. It connects
fine to an Oracle 9.0 server but fails with ORA-12154 when trying to

As you can see, I have tried adding an alias for the default domain
name suffix '.qonnectis.com' in the tnsnames.ora files on the solaris
client and on the new 10g server.
Just to add to the fun, the 'new' server running Ora 10g CANNOT connect
to the old server running Ora 9:
sqlplus user/pass@nn_qq3
sqlplus user/pass@nn_qq3.qonnectis.com both fail.
While the old 9.0 server CAN connect to the new 10g one:
sqlplus user/[email protected] succeeds.
Sorry this is such a mess. TBH I find this whole area extremely
confusing.
All suggestions welcome. Unfortunately I am away on holiday next week
but will follow up any leads when I get back.
thanks!

Sporadic ORA-12154 errors when connecting

We are occasionally receiving "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name" errors in all of the applications running on our W2K web server connected to an 8.1.6 database on a Sun server. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this and how we can prevent it?

Try using an IP address in your tnsnames.ora instead of a machine name for a tns entry.

I found that loging through sqlplus not success as sysdba.(ORA-12154) But as a normal user I can loging through sqlplus. Anyway I can loging as sysdba through emctl console.
Can anyone help on this pls. Urgent.......................

You're welcome.
I dont know how this happened Probably your old password had some special characters within it, that's why I wanted to know if connecting without password did work. Then I would have advised you to change your password (avoiding special characters...).

ORA-12154 error when logging into SQL*Plus

I installed Oracle 10g (10.2.0.3.0) server on a Hyper-V virtual machine running Windows Server 2008 Enterprise as a standalone server. I did a software only install and then ran the Database Configuration Assistant to create a database. I also ran the Oracle Net Configuration Assistant to configure the Listener, Naming Methods, and Local Net Service Name. I ran the test in the Net Configuration Assistant and it was successful after I changed the login credentials to use the SYSTEM account and password. TNSPING of the net service name is successful. I can also successfully connect to the database via Enterprise Manager using the SYSTEM account and password. What I can NOT do is connect locally to the database via SQL*Plus (either through the gui or command line). I get the following error:
ERROR:
ORA-12154: TNS: Could not resolve the connect identifier specified
I've checked and double-checked the LISTENER.ORA, SQLNET.ORA, and TNSNAMES.ORA files. They all seem correct to me, especially since I used the configuration assistants to create them.
Anyone have an idea what might be wrong or what I can check next? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

They all seem correct to me, especially since I used the configuration assistants to create them. Garbage In, Garbage Out.
Since Oracle throws an error, I strongly suspect you are mistaken.
Simply put, you are using something like "@REMOTE" someplace & somehow and the error indicates SQL*Net does not know to what @REMOTE refers.
How many systems are involved, names, OS version, etc?
post connection string & post contents of tnsnames.ora file.
