Tnx for replying, but is did this is mine INITATS_CFG.ora
it is placed in the hs\admin directory of the database
sql2000 is also the name of the ODBC.
# This is a sample agent init file that contains the HS parameters that are
# needed for an ODBC Agent.

HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = sql2000

thanks in advance.looks like listener is not running on the database server you are trying to connect to *(ORA-12541TNS- no listener)*. even though you have configured both tnsnames and lisnterner.ora files, you have to start listener for clients to make connections to db. hope this helps. set your oracle home and then type as below. these commands are very simple and I don't think I need to explain them.
cmd> lsnrctl status
cmd> lsnrctl start
cmd> lsnrctl stop

Ora-12154 vs. tns-03505

Since both ora-12154 and tns(ora)-03505 deal with not being able to locate a connect string in tnsnames (or other naming method), has anyone ever seen a good definition of exactly what differentiates between the two? What little variable would trigger the issuing of one error msg.vs. the other?
I know how to resolve them. The web is full of descriptions on resolving the problem (some of them are even valid! ;-) ). But I've never seen anything that would define why you would see an ora-12154 on time, and an tns-03505 another time.
Inquiring minds want to know! (Since this deals with published error codes, it's <i>somewhat</i> less arcane than how the archiver determines the "first" member of a redolog group! :-)

Senior Oracle DBACould be. I never picked up on any pattern of behavior before (thus my question). A simple test seems to bear that out:

Best Regards,

Hi,
Thanks for your reply..
Nope.. just had set earlier $ORACLE_HOME and added the $ORACLE_HOME/bin into the $PATH. So I will set up TNS_ADMIN in the oracle user environment.. is that all I need to do?
Dont have any access to the server environment as I have to work through a shared desktop(taking control) :(

TNS-03505: Failed to resolve name while do TNSPING "SERVICE-NAME"

Dear All,
I am unable to connect to DB on Windows thru SQLPLUS DB/PWD
Also, when doing tnsping, it thru below error message- please help
Used parameter files:
D:\app\Administrator\product\11.2.0\client_1\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
TNS-03505: Failed to resolve name
Regards,
Anand

ORA-12154 ALWAYS only occurs on SQL Client & no SQL*Net packets ever leave client system
ORA-12154 NEVER involves the listener, the database itself or anything on the DB Server.
ORA-12154 occurs when client requests a connection to some DB server system using some connection string.
TNS-03505 is thrown by tnsping & is same error as ORA-12154 thrown by sqlplus or others.
The lookup operation fails because the name provided can NOT be resolved to any remote DB.
The analogous operation would be when you wanted to call somebody, but could not find their name in any phonebook.
The most frequent cause for the ORA-12154 error is when the connection alias can not be found in tnsnames.ora.
The lookup operation of the alias can be impacted by the contents of the sqlnet.ora file; specifically DOMAIN entry.

Unable to TNSPING - TNS-03505

Hi All,
I am trying to connect from SUN5 to SUN7 server ( Both servers running Oracle 7.3.4 ) on Solaris 5 boxes.
I can connect from SUN7 to SUN5 using sqlplus just fine.
But when I added an entry for SUN7 on SUN5 server in its tnsnames. ora file as :
ARK = (DESCRIPTION=

$ more sqlnet.ora
#sqlnet.authentication_services=(none)
#names.directory_path = (TNSNAMES)
#NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN = world
The above are the files on SUN5.
Could any one tell me how I can get this to work ?
I tried unhashing the sqlnet.ora but then the application on SUN5 stops working.
Thanks.

Persistent TNS-03505 error

Hi
I am getting the tns-03505 error when trying to connect. I have used a known good tnsnames.ora file, and can connect with the IP but not service name.
The same happens with TNSPing - as in I can ping IP but not service name.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Best Regards
Jamie

Can you post the relevent tnsnames.ora entry?
What happens when you ping the host name (not service name) specified in the tnsnames.ora file?

TNS-03505 error

Hi,
I've got a TNS-03505 error on a PC trying to connect to 2 differents databases. The tnsnames.ora seems correct :
HPERISQOP.ARPEGE.SOCGEN =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.128.162.193)(PORT = 1548))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = hperisqop)(SERVER = DEDICATED))
HPERISQOP2.ARPEGE.SOCGEN =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.128.162.187)(PORT = 1572))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = hperisqop2)(SERVER = DEDICATED))
I can connect to the first database but not the second. Have you got an idea or a solution ?
Regards,
Olivier D.

Looks like there is some problem with the second entry or some other entry in your tnsnames.ora file.
cut and paste the tnsnames entry(which is not working) on the top of tnsnames.ora and makes sure no other entry with the same name in tnsnames.ora file and test is tnsping is working or not?

Copied from where to where, and why? there should be no reason to be copying these files at all.

And to add to the confusion, as has already pointed up, instant client doesn't come with tnsping, so your use of tnsping contradicts your statement that you are working with instant client.
