ORA-12505 error help needed

I have 10g on my laptop and tyring to connect to my local db on Laptop via TOAD and gives me error ORA-12505.
here is my TNSNAMES.ORA file:
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
EZAUDIT.2020LLC.COM =

"2020-5056" is my hostname of laptop.
"EZAUDIT" is my SID name, which is the local DB name.
Don't know what's going on. It was working fine for last 2 months, all of a sudden last 3-4 days i am having this issue. My Listener name is "LISTENER"
If I change the SID = EZAUDIT to SERVICEf_NAME = EZAUDIT in my TNSNAMES.ORA file then the error I get is ORA-12514. Don't know what the issue. Please let me know ASAP, have to finish the project by next week.
APPRCIATE your hlp.

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

Cannot connect: ORA-12505 error (listener does not know SID..)

I have an Oracle 10g installation insde a VM with private IP (192.168.109.128) and I'm trying to access it from the host operating system with aqua data studio, but get ORA-12505 error (listener does not currently know of SID...). The identical error occurs if I try to cennect from within the VM itself.

ORA-12505 error with oracle 11.2.0.2 RAC Grid

Hi,
We have just installed Oracle 11.2.0.2 with oracle clusterware. Every thing went well during the installation, How ever after install we can not connect to the RAC instance from clients, through jdbc OR oracle sql developer.
We get following error:
ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor.
After the installation we created service (myrac) through OEM Cluster Managed Database Services tab. and We are using service name as following:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@orap-cluster.mydomain.com:1521:myrac
Here below is Service TNS string:
myrac = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = orap-cluster.mydomain.com)(PORT = 1521))(LOAD_BALANCE = YES)(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME = myrac)))
Any help..??
Cheers

HI,
to clarify:
if you try with
<SERVER>:<PORT>:<SID> you are accessing the server with a database SID, whereas
<SERVER>:<PORT>/<SERVICE> will access a service.
The SCAN Listener only know of services, and not of database SIDs.
This is the reason you should always create separate services for your RAC databases, since only they are registered. If you connect via. a service the listener will forward you to (one of) the corresponding instances servicing the service.
Database SIDs are only known to the local listener on the node (not to the SCAN listener). And SIDs actually should not be used anymore.
However if you still need to access the SID you can use the virtual hostname of the server resp. the VIP address of the server in the connection and this will work:
<VIP>:<PORT>:<SID>
Note the SID of a RAC database is either myrac1 or myrac_1 (depending on administrator or policy managed database).
I still would recommend using services and not SIDs.
Furthermore the SCAN can only be resolved correctly by 11.2 clients.
Any pre 11.2 client should use an address_list containing the SCAN VIPs:
PRE112 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(LOAD_BALANCE=ON)
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.41)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.42)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.43)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = pre112)
If a application server does not understand / then try using the TNSNAMES entry directly:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION = (LOAD_BALANCE=ON)(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.41)(PORT = 1521))(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.42)(PORT = 1521))(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.43)(PORT = 1521))(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME = pre112)))
Hope that helps

Sebastian

TNS-12560 and ORA-12505 error

Hi
I have a debian based server, running with no problem Oracle XE for months.
But now my server is getting a new ip address, after that my oracle-xe doesn't work well.
When i try to connect to it i get: ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor.
I try to tnsping the XE service:
tnsping XE
the answer is: TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
What can i do?
Should i register the new IP address? If it, where can i configure it?
Or what is wrong?
Thanks for any help and sorry for my English!

Paul M. wrote:
$ lsnrctl statThen, depending on how it's configured, you may need to change tnsnames.ora file, in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin.Just to add to this (since the issue is resolved):
A TNS-12560 usuallly indicates that the listener can not start up correctly because of a hostname or an IP address problem. That may be due to resolution (bind, DNS or /etc/hosts) or the listener configuration.
If the problem is in the listener configuration, the change must be in the listener.ora file (in the above directory).
If the listener is OK, and the problem is in the client end (usually a TNS-12154) they "tnsnames.ora" needs to be adjusted.

But when I try to connect using orcl, an error is thrown ( ORA 12505). Please help me overcome this issue.

Failed to sqlplus into ASM with the notorious ORA-12505 error

Hi guys,
I have a 2-node RAC testing environment and i have been having trouble trying to LOCALLY sqlplus into the ASM instance.
If I do "sqlplus sys/xxxxx@asm1", it just throws "ORA-12505:TNS: listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor".
If I do "sqlplus / as SYSASM", it says "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges".
Can' figure out where I did wrong so really appreciate some help here (maybe in the listener file, i should give the GRID home for one of the ORACLE_HOME parameters)?
Here is the tns and listener file:

Change Archive Log Mode, Restart instance, show ORA-12505 error!!!

We are still use Oracle 9i.
Now we want to use Symantec Backupexec 12 to backup oracle 9i.
In accordance with Backupexec's requirements. must change recovery mode to Archive Log Mode.
I use the Enterprise manager console to change it. and select restart immediately.
a error message be display in the step 2 (starting up the database). see below
ORA-12505: TNS:listener could not resolve SID given in connect descriptor
I'm a new oracle user. Hope you give me some suggestion.
THK.

If database is down, then start it up directly login to server and
sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
startup;
Read this thread for first:
Re: ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect
The main problem is Your listner doesn't know the sid in connect descriptor.
Check
lsnrctl services
and look in tnsnames.ora file - is there such sercive defined in Your connection description.
issue tnsping in order to check is it able to read and connect correctly tnsnames.ora entry.

ORA-12505, error when i tried to open the "Workflow Administrator" tool

i have installed Oracle content server 10g r3, but when i tried to open the "Workflow Administrator" tool i got the following error "ORA-12505, TNS: listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor", so how can i solve this issue?
//hint i am using Oracle database 10g

Is the rest of your UCM install running OK?
This implies that the JDBC connection is failing.
Are you running Workflow Administrator from the Admin Applets in the browser OR as a standalone application from command line (*nix) or Start menu (windows)
I think that the application would normally look in config.cfg and use the JDBC connection string given in there - this would include the SID. Can you tnsping the SID?

ORA-12505 error after setup tnsnames and listener properly.

Hello.
I'm having a very common issue. I can't connect using tnsnames on Windows 2003 server.
Facts.
1 - Tnsnames.ora file is properly set.
2 - Listener.ora file is properly set.
3 - tnsping works with no issues.
4 - Windows service is up and running.
However, I'm getting this error.

Alex,
Next time when you post code or output or any configuration, enclose them between \ tags to preserve formatting
Your code or output \h4. Anyway, modify your tnsnames.ora file on your client machine and add this lm3dprd1 =

(CONNECT_DATA =

Error: ORA-12505, error when i want to change database in webaccess.

Hello
I want to change the database for webaccess. I use a database in MS Sql Server now. for that I choose "Database Configuration Setup" from the Start menu,
Programs, Oracle - Primavera P6> Primavera P6 Web Access Utilities . I open this tool and in the 1st step I select Oracle in the 2nd step I entered the below informationusername and passsword: admuser
database name: pmdb (I create this database before and I tested that successfully in P6)
Database Host Address: *127.0.0.1*
Database Host Address: 1521 (I'm sure the port is 1521)
I didn't select SSL and Public Group ID set to 1
after i click on next one error returned that "ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in ..."
I added XE as SID before database name and correct database name to XE:PMDB. but I below error returned:
Error:Unable to resolve privileged username and password
Invalid connection string
format, a valid form at is: "host :port:sid"
Please verify the information you entered.

wow, I found the solution.
you must set database name as XE
correct information are as below:
username and passsword: admuser
database name: XE
Database Host Address: *127.0.0.1*
Database Host Address: *1521*
then click next.

ORA-00600 Error Help required

I am getting Error ORA-00600 for a procedure which tries get
a CLOB as output paramater. It is a simple stored proc which is
just querying to get this data.
However it fails at times giving ORA-00600 error which we have
no clue why it's happening.
There is sufficient space in the server and also we have
restarted the database several times.
Any pointers to why is this happening.

Ora-08102 - error help me out

dear all,
Im getting ora-8102 error
"ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-08102: index key not found, obj# 49, file 47, block 25578 (2)" while im creating index on newly created table . I found the suggestion doc from metalink for the same. but it didn't work. because the obj#49 is the index (I_CON2) which related to table CON$. so im not able to rebuild the index as suggested in metalink.
Im getting the same erorr for all schema even creating new table with constraints.
Thanks
mohan

Why not ?Just a guess, since there is no error message from OP, Probably because:

alter index I_CON2 rebuild
