ORA-12504 in an Oracle 9.2.0.1 RAC setup

Question

Hi I keep getting the following error when connecting to either nodes in a RAC setup:
ORA-12504: TNS:listener was not given the SID in CONNECT_DATA
I tried different permutations for the tnsnames.ora but keep getting this error. Does anybody know how to fix this problem?
Here's my tnsnames.ora entries:
LISTENERS_dotbk =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host= srvrwin.corp.wassup.com)(Port= 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host= srvrtwo.corp.wassup.com)(Port= 1526))
LISTENER1_dotbk1 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host= srvrwin.corp.wassup.com)(Port= 1521))
LISTENER2_dotbk2 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host= srvrtwo.corp.wassup.com)(Port= 1526))
dotbk1 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host= srvrwin.corp.wassup.com)(Port= 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = dotbk1)(INSTANCE_NAME = dotbk1))
dotbk2 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host= srvrtwo.corp.wassup.com)(Port= 1526))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = dotbk2)(INSTANCE_NAME = dotbk2))

Hi Carsten
Thanks for the response. My versions of OWB are the same it's just the database versions that are different.
I ended up opening an SR but since the version is so old there wasn't much help except to try and apply the 10.1.0.5 OWB patch and cross my fingers.
I think I'll just end up putting the new repository in a different Oracle 10g database.
Thanks again for your help.
