Hi All,

Oracle 11G server is installed in my local windows machine. I want to access an instance in 11G in one of our unix machines which has ORACLE 10G installation.
I made an entry in tnsnames.ora for facilitating the above said connection.
Entry in tnsnames.ora file
---------------------------
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = IP Address )(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
)
)
I did tnsping and the result is :
----------------------------------
tnsping ORCL

Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = IP Address )(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = orcl)))
OK (0 msec)

But when i tried to connect to one of the schemas in my local machine I am getting the following error :

sqlplus TEST/TEST@ORCL

ERROR:
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
________________________________________________________________

Does it mean that the connection is established but the way i am trying to access is wrong?
Solution please....

HOST = IP Address

Do you really have "IP Address" or do you have a real address which is not localhost?

I have an IP Address other than local host.

In unix, if i give local host instead of windows IP Address, will it work??

You give the host of the database server.
And check if server is listening for a service named orcl.
