Both
Think of Data Guard as one database in two different roles, Primary and Standby. Tnsnames and Listener should match both sides.
( would consider using default ports too )

  • ORA-12504 tns listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT-DATA

    Hi
    i installed a fresh oracle linux and installes 11.2.0 database server. the server works fine but i have a proplem to connect to the database from a windows 2008 r2
    client. For the client connection i installed the oracle instantclient on the windows system. Now i want to configure the system dsn to connect to the oracle
    server like this
    data source description: vSphere 64
    description: ----
    TNS Service Name: VCDB
    user id: system
    then i go to TEST connection
    Service Name: VCDB
    user name: system
    Password: mypassword
    so i copied the tnsnames.ora from the server to the client
    then i get
    ora-12504 tns listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT-DATA
    here´s my tnsnames.ora from the client
    VCDB =

    i tested serveral config´s but nothing works. I can ping the server and also i cn telnet the server on port 1521. The listener on the server works fine

    The command completed successfully

    ORACLE_HOSTNAME=vc-db1.mydomain
    ORACLE_SID=vcdb
    ORACLE_TERM=xterm
    so i think on the server site everything is correct. How could i establish a connection from the windows client
    to the linux database server. Or is ODBC the wrong method for this?
    Kind regards
    ACID25

    Hi,
    Check the listener log and see if the connection information is logged (in this case with error)
    If logged, then we are reaching the correct listener.
    Then check tnsping VCDB works fine along with sqlplus connection through listener using VCDB as connect string.
    If above both works, then issue can be isolated to ODBC configuration or setup issue.
    In case even if the tnsping / sqlplus is failing to connect with VCDB, then worth taking a client sqlent trace at level 16 and listener trace at level 16 to analyse the issue further.
    Thanks,
    Sathya

  • ORA-12504 error when connecting to Oracle 11G DB using OCI and instantclient-basic-nt-11.2.0.3.0.zip

    Dear Friends,
    I am using OCI and instant_client (11.2.0.3.0)  in my C++ program (on Windows 7) to connect remotely to 11G database.
    While doing a connection using server name as well as servername:port/service_name as connection strings, I am getting error of ORA-12504 TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA.
    According to instant client FAQ & white paper at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index.html, no tnsnames.ora is required for instant client. Then why could I be getting this error?
    I ensured that only the instant client directory is in Path environment variable. There was a ODBC driver installed on this same host. Could that be modifying the behavior of instant client?
    Kindly guide.
    Many thanks in advance for your help and time.
    Best Regards,
    - ganesh

    >>what is the exact connect string you are using?
    For connection, I am using the plain hostname on which the DB server is running.
    >>are you calling OCIServerAttach before OCISessionBegin?
    I am not using OCISessionBegin. For connecting to DB server, I am using the following sequence of OCI calls (in this same order):
    1) g_OCIEnvNlsCreate
    2) g_OCIHandleAlloc //-- error handle: OCI_HTYPE_ERROR
    3) g_OCIHandleAlloc // --- sevice context: OCI_HTYPE_SVCCTX
    4) Setting driver name and application name for the session:
        OCISession* usersession = 0;
        ret = g_OCIAttrGet(m_pSvcCtx, OCI_HTYPE_SVCCTX, &usersession, NULL,
                                 OCI_ATTR_SESSION, m_pErrHdl);
        if (ret == OCI_SUCCESS)
            ret = g_OCIAttrSet(usersession, OCI_HTYPE_SESSION, (void*)"OCI_DRV", 2,OCI_ATTR_DRIVER_NAME, m_pErrHdl);
            ret = g_OCIAttrSet(usersession, OCI_HTYPE_SESSION, (void*)"ClientApplication", <ub4>(strlen("DataReconScanning")), OCI_ATTR_CLIENT_IDENTIFIER, m_pErrHdl);
    5) g_OCILogon() using the user, password and host name, as below:
    g_OCILogon(m_pDbCon, m_pErrHdl, &m_pSvcCtx,
                                   (text*)user.c_str(), static_cast<ub4>(user.length()),
                                   (text*)pass.c_str(), static_cast<ub4>(pass.length()),
                                   (text*)host.c_str(), static_cast<ub4>(host.length()));
    Thanks.

  • Hyperion FDM and ERPi 11.1.2.2: ORA-12504 on Import with ERPI-FIN-E

    Hi everyone,
    We are implementing Hyperion 11.1.2.2 FDM with HFM (Target Adapter = FM11X-G6-A) and ERPi (Source Adapter = ERPI-FIN-E) running on ODI 11.1.1.6. Backend databases are all Oracle DBs. We have been able to successfully configure ERPi and ODI & successfully run a Data Load Rule with all green checks in ODI Operator. We have also successfully tested the full FDM workflow with load to HFM using the traditional flat file method.
    We have also setup an FDM Location and Import Format (File Type = Adapter; Adapter = ERPI-FIN-E) for use with the ERPI Source Adapter. When kicking off an Import either manually via FDM Web or via Batch Loader, we are getting a grey fish, Information Bar with "Error: Import failed. Invalid Data or Empty content", and pop-up error dialog displaying "ORA-12504: TNS: Listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA.
    While previous versions of ERPi Source Adapter have the "ERPi Database Server/Service" option, ERPI-FIN-E does not have this option. Additionally, we have tested the TNSNames.ora files SID's with SQL Developer and SQL Plus and they all seem to be working.
    Has the "ERPi Database Server/Service" option moved somewhere behind the scenes? Another options or DBLink that needs to be setup somewhere else? Any thoughts or assistance would help.
    Thank you.

    Use SQL*Plus to execute SQL, PL/SQL and SQL*Plus statements.
    Usage 1: sqlplus -H | -V
        -H             Displays the SQL*Plus version and the
                       usage help.
        -V             Displays the SQL*Plus version.
    Usage 2: sqlplus [ [<option>] [{logon | /nolog}] [<start>] ]
      <option> is: [-C <version>] [-L] [-M "<options>"] [-R <level>] [-S]
        -C <version>   Sets the compatibility of affected commands to the
                       version specified by <version>.  The version has
                       the form "x.y[.z]".  For example, -C 10.2.0
        -L             Attempts to log on just once, instead of
                       reprompting on error.
        -M "<options>" Sets automatic HTML markup of output.  The options
                       have the form:

                       [ENTMAP {ON|OFF}] [SPOOL {ON|OFF}] [PRE[FORMAT] {ON|OFF}]
        -R <level>     Sets restricted mode to disable SQL*Plus commands
                       that interact with the file system.  The level can
                       be 1, 2 or 3.  The most restrictive is -R 3 which
                       disables all user commands interacting with the
                       file system.
        -S             Sets silent mode which suppresses the display of

        Specifies the database account username, password and connect
        identifier for the database connection.  Without a connect
        identifier, SQL*Plus connects to the default database.
        The AS SYSDBA, AS SYSOPER and AS SYSASM  options are database

        <connect_identifier> can be in the form of Net Service Name
        or Easy Connect.
          @[<net_service_name> | [//]Host[:Port]/<service_name>]
            <net_service_name> is a simple name for a service that resolves
            to a connect descriptor.
            Example: Connect to database using Net Service Name and the
                     database net service name is ORCL.
               sqlplus myusername/mypassword@ORCL
            Host specifies the host name or IP address of the database
            server computer.
            Port specifies the listening port on the database server.
            <service_name> specifies the service name of the database you
            want to access.
            Example: Connect to database using Easy Connect and the
                     Service name is ORCL.
               sqlplus myusername/mypassword@Host/ORCL
        The /NOLOG option starts SQL*Plus without connecting to a
        database.
        The EDITION specifies the value for Session Edition.
      <start> is: @<URL>|<filename>[.<ext>] [<parameter> ...]
        Runs the specified SQL*Plus script from a web server (URL) or the
        local file system (filename.ext) with specified parameters that
        will be assigned to substitution variables in the script.
    When SQL*Plus starts, and after CONNECT commands, the site profile
    (e.g. $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/glogin.sql) and the user profile
    (e.g. login.sql in the working directory) are run.  The files may

    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.

  • Visio 2010 reverse engineering ora-12504 error

    I am trying to create Database Model Diagram via MS Visio 2010 from my existing Oracle Database. But everytime i am having ORA-12504:TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA. If i use Oracle Data Modeler i dont have any error. What is the reason of this error for Visio? Here you can show the error:
    http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/143/errorop.jpg/

    Hi,
    You need to complete your install by editing th tnsnames.ora file which can be found under %ORACLE_HOME%\netwrok\admin folder.
    A simple tnsnames.ora entry would look like:
    ORCL =
      (DESCRIPTION =
        (ADDRESS_LIST =
          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <machine_name or ip_address where the database & listener is running>)(PORT = 1521))
        (CONNECT_DATA =
          (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)
      )Or simpler, go to the start menu, and start the Oracle Net Manager to configure your tnsnames.
    HTH,
    Thierry

  • TSNnames.ora & Listener.ora - Where do I find these files

    Greetings!
    I'm trying to connect from a SQL server to an Oracle server through the SQL management studio's Linked Server. I'm a bit confused as I get the error ORA 12504, which it says "Listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA" .
    Where are these files suppouse to be? In the SQL server or the Oracle Server? I did a search in both servers and I don't get any results with the mentioned files names. What do I need to have them?
    If someone could point me to an article or some guide, I would be in great debt as I need to figure this out preety soon.

  • Error while launcing Planning applications from colloborator Workbench

    Hi all,

  • Access database issue in SQL Plus

    Hi Friends,
    I download a oracle 10g to install sql Plus without create database. (I download client and does not find SQL Plus)
    I can ping database server from client PC and also set up a TNS.
    However I got a error ORA 12504 --TNS:listener was not start.
    I can access database by sql plua from server side. I do not think we need to put a listener file in client PC under admin path.
    my database set as RAC module and system as window 2003
    how to fix this issue?
    Thanks,
    JIm

    OK, just to be clear, you have a single client machine where you have installed something with the 10g label. Are you saying that you installed the Oracle database bits, but did not create a database? Rather than doing a client-only install? Is there a single Oracle home on the client machine?
    And then you have a RAC database running on multiple Windows 2003 servers, right? Is there a listener running for this RAC database? Can you connect to it from other client machines?
    Are you certain that the service name you specified in the client machine's tnsnames.ora file matches the service the listener is listening for?

  • Connect using HOSTNAME adapter with DNSalias

    Hi everyone
    I am trying to test hostname naming method with Instant Client and DNS aliases. According to docs I should be able to:
    - on database TEST: add 'testdb.domain.com' to SERVICE_NAMES parameter
    - in DNS: create an Alias named "testdb.domain.com" which points to the server where database TEST is running
    - on client mypc.domain.com: connect e.g. with: "sqlplus user/[email protected]" or even "sqlplus user/pass@testdb" since it is in the same domain.
    So far so good. With Instant Client 10.2.0.4.0 this works just fine. But if I try with Instant Client 11.1.0.6.0, I instead get the following error message:
    ORA-12504: TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA
    With a trace, I found out that Instant Client 10.2.0.4.0 converts the string "testdb.domain.com" into the connect string "(DESCRIPTION=(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=testdb.domain.com))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=1.2.3.4)(PORT=1521)))" after switching to the hostname adapter.
    Instant Client 11.1.0.6.0 converts the same string "testdb.domain.com" into the following connect string: "(DESCRIPTION=(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=1.2.3.4)(PORT=1521)))" after switching to the hostname adapter.
    ==> So it is no wonder the listener complains about a missing service_name if the parameter is present in connect_data but with an empty value!
    btw.: setting DEFAULT_SERVICE_listener on the server side didn't help and wouldn't be an option anyway.
    Does anyone know why this happens? Any ideas on how to fix it?
    I would be grateful for any help...
    Regards

    Hi,
    To access any database fromm XI, using the JDBC adapter, the corresponding drivers have to be installed on the XI server.
    Just check this note 831162.
    Also, check this PDF to install Drivers in XI,
