ORA-12154 TNS Could not resolve the service name

I am working on Oracle 9i(Release 2) windows version. I want to change the value of
shared pool size, buffer size and others database parameter through "Enterprise Manager Console" but
when i connect to sysdba mode message comes "ORA-12154 TNS Could not resolve the service name".
How can I solve this problem?

these problem are you getting from OEM?
post
lsnrctl status
lsnrctl services
make sure database is running.. all the services running in services.msc
check error code and start..
ORA-12514:
     TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
Cause:      The listener received a request to establish a connection to a database or other service. The connect descriptor received by the listener specified a service name for a service (usually a database service) that either has not yet dynamically registered with the listener or has not been statically configured for the listener. This may be a temporary condition such as after the listener has started, but before the database instance has registered with the listener.
Action:      
- Wait a moment and try to connect a second time.
- Check which services are currently known by the listener by executing: lsnrctl services <listener name>
- Check that the SERVICE_NAME parameter in the connect descriptor of the net service name used specifies a service known by the listener.
- If an easy connect naming connect identifier was used, check that the service name specified is a service known by the listener.
- Check for an event in the listener.log file.

  • ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified Error in Integration Service Catalogs

    Hi guys,
    I tried to execute a package with Oracle Data Source from Integration Services Catalogs and I got the following error. 
    ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
    The package runs fine from the SSIS project but once I deploy to SSIS Catalog it fails to run. I need help!
    Thanks
    me

    Hello ,
    The ORA-12154 is a very common error, always related to your local copy of the tnsnames.ora file, your listener configuration and your database name aliases.
    Make sure that your listener is listening for the same service name that you are using. 
    Your service name might have an alias, so check for global (world) entries and local entries.  Check:
    $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora 
    Check your global_name setting with this SQL:
    select * from global_name;

  • ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified Oracle 11

    I'm having a slight issue with Oracle 11 R2
    Oracle 10g was removed from the machine - The registry was cleared and I couldn't see anything of 10g left.
    I then installed Oracle 11 with just the software only, and then created a listener.
    Using the Database Configuration Assistant, I tried to add a database but I get the error:
    'ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified'
    The TNS_ADMIN is set to: \\ravel\tnsnames and I can connect to other instances around the company.
    My tnsnames entry is:

    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = gman)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = ora112)
    If i start the listener i get:

    thanks

    Hi,
    1) Check the tnsnames.ora file you are using, verify that it is accessible.
    Eg: On Unix:
    - Check if you have a $HOME/.tnsnames.ora file - This will be
    used in addition to 'tnsnames.ora'.
    - Check TNS_ADMIN is set in your environment.
    - There is a readable tnsnames.ora file in $TNS_ADMIN
    2) Ensure that the tnsnames.ora file contains a line of the form
    'alias=(...)' for the alias you are specifying.
    Aliases are NOT case sensitive.
    3) Make sure that there are no mismatched parentheses in the
    tnsnames.ora file.
         4) Even if TNS_ADMIN is set SQL*Net looks in other locations for
         configuration files. Check the default directories for old (or bad)
         copies of TNS_NAMES.ORA. Eg: /etc, /var/opt/oracle,
         $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
    5) Check the default domain name being used, and the path used to
    locate aliases, in the SQLNET.ORA file.
    The default domain is specified in the NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN
    parameter - this is appended to the alias specified in the
    connect string if there is no domain given.
    Eg: If NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN=mydom.uk
    and a connect to "scott/tiger@mydb" is requested
    SQL*Net will look for the alias "mydb.mydom.uk"
    If NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH is also specified this determines where
    SQL*Net looks for the alias expansion.
    6) If none of these show an error enable client side tracing
    at level 16 and see what has been written to the client trace
    file. There list of aliases in the trace file under the heading
    'TNS.NAMES.ORA TABLE HAS THE FOLLOWING CONTENTS'.
    7) If ORA-12154 is returned when selecting over a database link from a
    client check that the alias in the link can be resolved in the
    tnsnames.ora file ON THE SERVER.
    8) If you are connecting from a login dialog box, verify that you are
    not placing an "@" symbol before your connect net service name.
    9) When going from Windows to Linux/Unix platforms,
    you can see <carriage return> <new line> characters at the
    end of each line instead of <new line> <new line>. Be sure you
    use ascii mode when ftp'ing this between Windows and Linux/Unix.

    Kal

    Here's your issue
    (HOST=localhost.localdomain)
    If you are going to use "localhost" at least fake it by adding an entry in your /etc/hosts files
    Example ( add to both servers so they can see each other )
    192.168.0.20               primary.localdomain   primary
    192.168.0.21               standby.localdomain   standby
    Does the "hostname" return localhost.localdomain? Setup something so RMAN has something to connect to.
    The "/etc/hosts" file must contain a fully qualified name for the server.
    <IP-address> <fully-qualified-machine-name> <machine-name>
    localhost.localdomain is 127.0.0.1, you don't want that.
    Best Regards

  • Ora-12541 ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified

    I am having trouble obtaining an ODBC connection from a client XE to a server XE. ora-12541 ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
    I am new to Oracle.
    I have oracle client XE running on my XP pro box.
    I have oracle server XE running on an XP pro box on the LAN.
    I am trying to connect to the oracle database using ODBC from my client box.
    I can logon to the oracle server box through HTTP.
    I can logon to the oracle server box by using a connection string in "Command Line SQL" from my client computer. I can then run queries on my client computer. (select * from global_name)
    I cannot setup an ODBC connection in windows which will connect to the oracle server box from my client box. (I have no trouble connecting to MSSQL databases).
    I can ping my server by hostname or ip address. Both ok.
    I can run tnsping XE on the server box and it works. I believe this tells me my server listener is working.
    I cannot run tnsping on my client box as it is not included in the download for Client XE.
    Windows firewall is turned off on both machines.
    I have been reading all over the web for and all attempts fail. Most all help says use Oracle Net Manager or some such tool. They then say go to start\programs\oracle….etc. There is no type program included on the server or the client software. I would like to know here I can download it.
    XEClint\Bin is the firs entry in my PATH. The tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora, and listner.ora files are there. I have been to http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/files/install.102/b25143/toc.htm several times. My tnsnames.ora are identical to the ones in the example except for the host =.
    I have 3 tnsnames.ora files on my computer:
    Directory of c:\
    04/03/2008 11:43 AM 635 tnsnames.ORA
    Directory of c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Net
    work

    Directory of c:\XEClient\bin
    04/03/2008 11:43 AM 635 tnsnames.ORA
    1 File(s) 635 bytes
    They are all identical.
    When I ran lsnrctl status on the server the results were the same as found in other articles in the web site. Default service XE
    I have the Oracle in XE Client driver in my windows ODBC driver list of the client box. And other Oracle drivers.
    It appears I am lost.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Randy

    I cannot setup an ODBC connection in windows which will connect to the oracle server

    When using a dblink, the database with the link is acting as a client to the remote database ... exactly like sqlplus running on the db server.

  • ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified [10g XE]

    Greetings
    There are many topics on this issue over the internet but None of them addresses this issue properly, so I couldn't find a solution to the problem.
    I installed: Oracle Database 10g Express Edition
    After the installation was done, I opened SQL Command Line
    and I used the command "connect" to login
    I enter the username
    Then I entered the password
    After a couple of seconds I got the following ERROR message:
    ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
    Screenshot of the error:
    http://i35.tinypic.com/14o26g7.png
    I installed this version of Oracle on both Windows XP 32 bit and Windows 7 32 bit and I get the same error message when it tries to connect.
    Why doesn't Oracle work right after the installation?
    Are there any further steps that need to be done in order to make this work? If so I would really appreciate any step by step help, I've been stuck trying to find a solution for days.

    I wento to CMD, then I entered sqlplus / as sysdba and that just opened the SQL*Plus program in CMD (SQL>)

    Get into SQL*Plus with the command I gave you, now type this:
    alter user <theusernameyouwant> identified by abc123;followed by (still in SQL*Plus):
    connectafter you type "connect", SQL*Plus will ask you for a user name and password. Use the same user name and password you used in the alter command.

  • ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier

    I am simply trying to move a site from a Windows 2003 32bit server to a Windows 2008 R2 64-bit. The database was on and is remaining on the 2008 server. Trying to run the new site results in:
    ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier
    This error pops up more than a few times in the forums but do not seem unique to my situation where I know the connection string works fine from another server. Any insights?

  • BO 4.0 Repository diagnostic tool-ora 12154.TNS could not resolve the connect identifier specified

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to run RDT on BO 4.0 using the following command on <INSTALLDIR>\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64:
    reposcan.exe -dbdriver oracledatabasesubsystem -connect "UID=ceprod;PWD=ceprod;DSN=dsnname;HOSTNAME=ip of db server;PORT=1521" -dbkey [[XXXXXXX]] -inputfrsdir "\\share\FileStore\FileStore\Input" -outputfrsdir "\\Share\FileStore\FileStore\Output"
    I cannot be able to run the RDT as I get the following error:Business Objects Enterprise CMS:Unable to connect to the CMS system database DSN:dbserver ip:1521.Reason ORA 12154.TNS could not resolve the connect identifier specified
    I have created DSN for oracle db using 32 bit and 64 bit ODBC drivers. I can connect from this system to the database using the client tools.
    Also this is a clustered cms and do I need to use any other parameters here?
    regards,
    Sridhar

    Hi,
    Check if you have two different oracle directories listed in system variable path.
    e.g.:
    D:\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_1\bin;C:\Program Files\oracle\product\11.2.0\client_1\bin
    If this is the case, you have two different tnsnames.ora files.
    Then sometimes the first one is used and sometimes the second.
    If they don't contain the same info, you get these issues.
    Delete one of the paths in the system variable or synchronize the tnsname.ora files to get rid of that.
    Regards
    Moritz

  • 08004:[oracle][odbc][ora]ora-12154: TNS: could not resolve the connect ....

    This error has just recently started happening, and i cannot figure out why, i have not changed anything in tnsnames.ora file.
    i am always able to "test connection" in ODBC. even when i get the error in crystal.
    so i restart Crystal, and i am able to connect to db.
    strange thing is that always when i do a tnsping to db i always get the message :-
    TNS-12541: TNS:no listener
    Any ideas ?

    Details: 08004:[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified [Database Vendor Code: 12154]
    I've seen all sorts of discussion on the intertubes about possible fixes however, none stated are practical or they do not address my error specifically. I've exhausted resources on the net as well as those available to me.
    I'm currently running SAP Crystal Reports 2011 on WIN7 64bit and using Oracle in OraClient 10g_home1.
    Please let me know what insight you have. I cannot roll back to previous versions of Windows nor less encryption.
    Thank you for your time.

    1). I have TNS entries under MW_HOME/OracleBI/network/admin

    3). JDBC source set up on WLS side..
    what else do I need to do?

    Show the full exception stack trace. This doesn't seem to relate to WebLogic. Does the WebLogic console
    show the DataSource as running? Are you in fact using the WebLogic DataSource?

    Hi Sunil,
    Did you test the direct method I posted above? That will bypass the tnsnames.ora file. If it connects fine that way, then you likely have a configuration issue with your sqlnet.ora and/or tnsnames.ora
    You can test with:
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/tnsping <tnsalias>
    If it is successful, then check if you have the TNS_ADMIN environment variable set (echo $TNS_ADMIN) -- assuming Linix/Unix, if Windows, check system environment variables
    You may TNS_ADMIN set and pointing to a tnsnames.ora that is not in the default location.
    If it fails and your tns entry is correct in the tnsnames.ora file, then you may need to look at the sqlnet.ora
    For example,
    If you have NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN set.. then you would need enter: <tnsalias>.<domain> (i.e. scott.world)
    or you may need to check if TNSNAMES is first in NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH=
    You can remove or rename the sqlnet.ora to make sure that is not an issue.
    Hope that helps. Good Luck.
    ~Steve.
