Sequence number throwing error.

Question

Gurus,
I am currently at the schema "rawfeed" in "dev" database. I created a DB link to the "prod" database to the schema 'prod_schema"
1)
select distinct job_group as grp from prod_schema.test_table@prod.
Gives me result as:
CIAZ
ID0PA
IDS1R
IEMRR2)
Now I try to insert into a table as follows after creating a sequence in rawfeed which will cater to surrogate key.
insert into rawfeed.test_table(
     actvty_grp_id ,
     actvty_grp
     select rawfeed_seq.nextval as grp_id, grp from
       select distinct job_group as grp from prod_schema.test_table@prod.
     )When I execute this I am getting the error as follows:
ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found
ORA-02063: preceding line from prodAny lights on whats happening?
Many a thanks,
Saff

SaffSmall typo: remove the "."
DB-Link can include . so no syntax error is raised from "prod.". But this link does probably not exist.
insert into rawfeed.test_table(
     actvty_grp_id ,
     actvty_grp
    select rawfeed_seq.nextval as grp_id, grp from
      select distinct job_group as grp from prod_schema.test_table@prod
