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.
Thanks!

Hello,
YOu can find these files on oracle server under $ORACLE_HOME/admin/network directory.
Examples of listener.ora_
LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS_LIST =
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <hostname where database is running>)(PORT = 1521))
      (ADDRESS_LIST =
        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC))
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
      (ORACLE_HOME =<path to oracle home>)
      (PROGRAM = extproc)
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME = <database instance name>)
      (ORACLE_HOME =<path to oracle home>)
      (SID_NAME = <your database instance name>)
Example of tnsames.ora_
<your database instance name>=
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <hostname where database is running>)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME =<your database instance name>)
  )Regards

  • Where can I find the files when I "Created iPod version"?

    I tried getting some of my video podcasts onto my iPod by using the "Create iPod version" but only audio plays. Where can I find these files so I can delete them and get them off my iPod?

    Select the movie in the iTunes Window (you should see it in Library > Movies) and ctrl-click or right-click it. Then select "Show in Finder" and you will see the File.
    Usually it should be located at
    Users > your home >Music >iTunes >iTunes Music > Movies >your movie name(iPhone & iPod).m4v
    if your library is managed by iTunes and located at the default place.
    But don't delete the movie in the Finder, delete from iTunes, otherwise you will be left with an inconsistent library.

  • When I click "about this mac" to check on my storage, I get a number of different sections music, movies, etc. but also I get a section called backups, where can I find the files in this section?

    When I click "about this mac" to check on my storage, I get a number of different sections music, movies, etc. but also I get a section called backups, where can I find the files in this section?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    All the storage in "Backups" is taken up by local snapshots, which are made automatically in all MacBooks, MacBooks Pro and MacBooks Air with OS X Lion or newer and Time Machine turned on.
    See > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html I recommend you to leave them there, because they will be removed automatically. However, if you want, you can disable or remove them manually if you want, even if there's no reason to do this. Have a look at the link above for more information

  • Where can I find the file where the static mapping allocations of the DHCP server are stored?

    In our company we are using DHCP to assign static ip addresses to our clients.
    Now we are forced to change the ip address range. To prevent changing each allocation
    of mac-address to ip-address manually with the admin tool i would like to change the allocation
    in the file where the allocations are saved. The reason ist that i just have to use copy & paste for all
    the allocations.
    So how is the file named and where can I find the file where
    the static mapping allocations of the DHCP server are stored? Is it just an ASCII file?
    Must i note anything when i change the file manually?

    From man bootpd:
    BOOTP/DHCP STATIC BINDINGS
         Static IP address to ethernet address bindings are stored in the /etc/bootptab file and in Open Directory.  Bindings specified in the /etc/bootptab file take precedence over those in Open Directory.
         See bootptab(5) for more information about the /etc/bootptab file.
         For Open Directory, bootpd looks at the /Computers records for the following properties:
    /etc/bootptab is a standard text file, while the records in Open Directory can be manipulated either through the command line, or via Workgroup Manager.

  • Where can I find Icon files (*.ico) for using in forms

    Q) Where can I find Icon files (*.ico) for using in forms?
    Explaination: I am looking for icons for showing them in my application. Like I have an iconic button for 'Data Entry' option on Vertical Toolbar. Then one icon for Reports and Queries and so on. I need some icons which reflect the heading like for 'Data Entry', I would like a person working on a keyboard. For reports I would like to have a person reading a report or something like that.
    Can I find such icons on internet or any specific site?
    Pl. guide.
    TIA
    Tariq

    There are thousands and thousands of places on the internet to find .ICO files. Just find one with image and size you want, and use it.
    Note that if you are using web-deployed Forms, you will need to convert the .ICO file to .GIF or .JPG for runtime. The Forms Builder still uses .ICO files, though.

  • Where can I find the file sizes for each application before downloading?

    Where can I find the file sizes for each application before downloading? I have limited download (525 MBs/day) because of Hughsnet and I need to know each applications total size before I download.

    You can go to the trial page to get an estimated size.  As the Creative Cloud products change over time though this may become less accurate.
    If you are on a limited bandwidth account then you may want to consider purchasing a perpetual copy of Creative Suite 6 as opposed to subscribing to the Creative Cloud.

  • Where can i find the file manager of yendo?

    where can i find the file manager in yendo phone(sony ericsson)

    I do not think there is a default file manager in the Yendo.
    I think you have to connect your phone via the USB cable to the PC in Mass Storage Mode and use the PC file manager.

  • I installed a game, where can i find the files and maps? where does iMac store this data?

    I installed a game,Now I need to add some files however, I cannot find where iMac stores it.. where can i find the files and maps? where does iMac store this data?
    thx alot
    erik

    Depends on game, i would look first on the game file itself, right click (or ctrl click) the game file you installed (Applications?) and select show package contents, its usually a application bundle, as in basicly a folder where the application and the required files and subfolders are.
