ORA-12560 ........... How could it resolve ?

I use ( DATABASE 10g , FORMS 6i , FORMS 10g , WIN XP SP2 )
I installed both forms 6i , 10g ...... both work correctly , but just when I be in the beginning onto Run Time in forms 10g ... this error occur to me :-

and then I press OK and enter this information :-
http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/9980/ora12560nextstepek2.png
and when I press connect , i enter to form correct without any other problems.
I ask for help about the cause of that Problem (ORA-12560) , and also the Solution for it !

Check these this things?
1. Is database started and running?
2. Correct Database string provided?
3. Are the TNS names entry correctly referring to your database?
Check this thread: ERROR: ORA-12560
Try to connect from other applications like SQL*Plus or Toad and see.

ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve... - sql plus works, env vars are set...

Hi,
I am getting this error message in my ASP.Net apps (namespace Oracle.DataAccess.Client) and any app that tries to use the Oracle Provider for OLE DB.
Error:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
Here is what I do know:
- My ORACLE_HOME is set to C:\oracle\product\11.1.0\client_1\
- My path has C:\oracle\product\11.1.0\client_1\network\admin;C:\oracle\product\11.1.0\client_1\bin;
- I installed Oracle Client 11g, previously 10g was working but one of the devs wanted to upgrade
- I can connect using sqlplus user/pass@tnsname
- I can test tns entries successfully in Net Manager
Here is what I don't know:
- When using OLE connections, why does Oracle Provider for OLE DB not pick up on the environment variables - sql plus seems to, that's why it works.
- In ASP.Net, why does the connection object from Oracle.DataAccess.Client not pick up the correct environment variables?
- How do the Oracle drivers pick up the location of the TNS names?
Thanks,
Michael

Hi,
What "environment variables" are you referring to that you have set? You shouldnt have to set any, unless you're talking about TNS_ADMIN just to avoid having to configure multiple TNSNames.ora's if you have multiple homes.
Your PATH doesnt need to include OH\network\admin, but thats not hurting anything. PATH is for dll loading, not for finding config files.
Do you still have 10g installed? When you connect using sqlplus user/pass@tnsname, are you using 11g sqlplus? Or is that coming from the 10g client? Multiple homes arent aware of each other, so if you have a 10g home and an 11g home, you'd have to configure tnsnames.ora for both (or use tns_admin).
As far as I know, the client software picks up tnsnames.ora by checking:
1) the local working directory
2) the tns_admin directory
3) the network\admin directory of the client home being used.
Hope it helps,
Greg

Suddenly getting "ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve service name"

Hi all
A fairly basic post from a newbie here!
Basically, I connect to several Oracle 9i instances from my PC using Toad and SQLPlus. Yesterday, this was working fine, but today, I am getting "ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve service name" every time I try to hit any oracle instance from either Toad or SQLPlus. I have checked my TNSNAMES.ora file and it looks fine.
Are there any system variables I should look at? My PATH was changed yesterday, but I have checked and my Oracle 9i bin path is still correctly in my PATH.
I'm a bit baffled so any help/pointers would be most welcome!
Many thanks
Jon

Since you have changed your PATH, did you change any other Env Variable?
How many ORACLE_HOME have you got. i.e have you installed any new Oracle Software on the same machine?
Ensure that that Environment Variables ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN is pointing to the correct directory where your TNSNAMES.ORA is located.

ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified (sqlplus)

Hi All,
I don't know if this has ever been posted, but since I've spent a week figuring it out (no joke, a week), I thought I would post it so that no one else has to waste this much time.
"ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified" from what I've seen on this site is a major problem for a lot of people, but I did not find a reference to my specfic problem.
FYI--
My Database is called "ordidm"
userID: SYSMAN
password: p@ssw0rd
My specific issue was the following:
I can....
- Connect to the database via the client "admin assstant" GUI in Windows while supplying the userID and password using the "Database Authentication".
- Connect via sqlplus as "/as sysdba"
- "tnsping oraidm" passes works just fine.
I CANNOT....
- connect to oraidm at the dos prompt by using sqlplus, regardless of whether or not I supply all the user authentiocation information and db name on one line, or...if I just type "sqlplus" at the command prompt and then enter the userID and password when prompted. Every time I get the "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified" error message.
Ready for this?? (some may have guessed this already) The problem is the "@" in my password. After looking closely at the trace logs, I noticed that one of the entries was...
[09-MAR-2009 08:23:12:921] nnftrne: Original name: ssw0rd
Remember that the format for connecting on one line at the dos prompt is
C:/> sqlplus SYSMAN/p@ssw0rd oraidm
or you can do the following...

(BTW-I just started using the "scott" ID because from what I understand, changing the SYSMAN userID password is kind of a pain. Figured just using "scott" ID would be easier to test)
So of course what it's doing is counting everything after the first "@" as the database name...which of course it can't find in the tnsnames.ora file. Also, contrary to some other posts I found here and there, enclosing the userID and/or passowrd in quotes does not do any good. Apparently, even when using the 2nd method...in the background, the end result is it must pass the whole thing as one long string much like in the 1st method (as you will get the same truncated "Original Name" of "ssw0rd" in the log)
So...the question is, why does Oracle even allow "@" in the password if it will become an issue with sqlplus??? Also, if you can't (or shouldn't) use it, why isn't it documented somewhere? At the least I would expect the installer to at least warn you ahead of time that an "@" is not suggested. I don't remember it being there. Maybe it's just me and I'm just missing this info somewhere
I sincerely hope this saves someone else a week of their life. ;-)

My Database is called "ordidm"
userID: SYSMAN
password: p@ssw0rdThere are restrictions from oracle side how should password look:
Passwords can be from 1 to 30 characters.
The first character in an Oracle password must be a letter.
Only letters, numbers, and the symbols “#”, “_” and “$” are acceptable in a password.
And password must not be a reserved word (look into v$reserved_words).
And as You can see sysman password containt "@" - this is not allowed.

but in Your case @symbol already is in password.
Here can be used a small trick
sqlplus sysman/"p@ssw0rd"@oraid

alter user scott identidified by p@ssword
You will get error message (ORA-00922: missing or invalid option), but You can
alter user scott identified by "p@ssword" - and that will work.
These double quotes will allow to overide Oracle restrictions.

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.

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-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
04/03/2008 11:43 AM 635 tnsnames.ORA
1 File(s) 635 bytes
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
box from my client box. (I have no trouble connecting to MSSQL databases).How you tryed to do that?
On which step you have problems?

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>)
But nevertheless I still need to login with a user name and password which and I tried and I got the same error message.
>
We're making progress, you'll be logging in soon....
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.

Fundamental Problem: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name

Hello,
I am faced with a fundamental problem:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name
I can say with a high level of confidence that the TNSNAMES.ora configuration file is not the problem. My peer is using the exact same file with no issues. I am using the TOAD database utility to connect to the db host. Also, I have ORACLE_HOME defined and the file is located in /network/ADMIN.
Any ideas?

Hello,
Make sure your toad looking into right tnsnames.ora; also try this from command line after adding following entry to your tnsnames.ora.
sqlplus username/password@ECDEV
ECDEV =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS =
        (PROTOCOL = TCP)
        (HOST = rscdd01) --> you can try ipaddress of your server name as well
        (PORT = 1521)
    (SDU = 8192)
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME =ECDEV)
      (INSTANCE_NAME=ECDEV)

MSDAORA,IIS,ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name

Hi All,
I have a Web Service that coded in VS2008, using ORACLE DB(9i).
At a time the application working fine and I can access and do everything with database.
Some other time database server is down for scheduled maintenance. If I try to run the application at this point of time it will raise err "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name".
When i reset iis it start to work fine for a while.Then same problem occurs again.
My connection string is connectionString="provider=MSDAORA.1;data source=***;user id=***;password=***;"
is there any solution?
i tried that;
If theire is multiple copies of OCIW32.dll you have to make sure that there is only one copy of OCIW32.dll which should be in /Bin folder of the oracle home folder.
Add the IUSR_machine name account and the IWAM_machine name account to the Oracle home folder. Give both accounts full control.
Create empty file tnsnames.ora in same directory as aspnet_wp.exe,

Hi,
The issue doesnt make much sense on the surface at least. 12154 means the client couldnt figure out what you were referring to with your Data Source= entry. If the database was taken down, I'd expect an "oracle not available" or some other sort of error, as the client should have still be able to resolve the entry at least, even if the database wasnt up at the time.
What do you mean by "When i reset iis it start to work fine for a while.Then same problem occurs again."? The same problem meaning you get 12154 when you take the database down? Or you get 12154 without a db restart?
Are you using TNSNames.ora for client naming resolution, or something else (ldap, for example)?

ORA -ERR :Tns could not resolve service name

Hi,
I am tring to get into sql plus. As the oracle is pre installed and as donot know the system password, I am tring to login as Scott/tiger and host string as 'ORCL'.
I am getting the following error.
ORA-12154 :
Tns could not resolve service name
Is there any way to find the Host string name through any of the installation files.
Please suggest.
Badrinath

Hi,
Open the tns file ( available at oracle_home/network/admin/tnsnames.ora). I do not know what your oracle_home name is. Usually it is oracle/ora81/ under c: or D: or where ever you installed Oracle. Go thru the file. You will find the service name. Use that while logging. If you want to login to ORCL, it has to be there in tns files name otherwise Oracle cvan not resolve the name.
Good luck

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?

ORA-12154: TNS:Could not resolve service name. (WIS 10901).

HI Gurus, we have the following scenario...
Weu2019ve installed Busines Objects EDGE 3.1 SP3.
The server of this installation is MS Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2, Intel ® Xeon Enterprise TM CPU 2.80 GHz 6.5 RAM.
In the Server we have SAP R/3 Installed over a DB Oracle 9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.8.0.
We installed all BO bundle with successful and we can use the Designer Tool for create universe. In the creation of the universe, we created a connection to the database of the SAP R/3 System and the test runs well, we save and export the universe to CMS. Then, we used that universe in the WebI tool of the suite installed in the server, and it runs well (we call the universe, selected fields of the table, and after run the query, it gives us registers of the DB).
After all this, we open the InfoView and used the WebI and execute the same universe and the same steps. And when we execute the query the following error occurs .
A database error occured. The database error text is: ORA-12154: TNS:Could not resolve service name. (WIS 10901)
The connection to DB is through Designer and we use ODBC Oracle to create the Universe with the Client type and we used super user system, validated previously OK.
Any suggestion for this error?.
Thanks.
Betto.

Make sure there are no syntax errors in the TNSNAMES.ORA file, look for unmatched parentheses. Also check the SQLNET.ORA file.
Is the environment is clustered, if so then make sure you have the ODBC connection in all the servers.

ORA-12560 ........... How could it resolve ?
