Hello,
One of our software developers encountered a problem at a customers site.
He has Oracle 9i installed on his laptop (9.2.0.1.0) and tries to connect to the customers database server. The server is the Oracle 7 Workgroup Server (7.3.4.0.0).
Our developer tries to make a connection using the Net Configuration Assistant of his Oracle 9, but the connection test fails with error ORA-12560 TNS Protocol Adapter Error.
I advised him to copy the connection info from tnsnames.ora on a working PC (running Oracle 7), but apparently this has no effect.
Does anyone know if there is a compatibility issue here, or is there another reason for the failure?
FYI: the server is pingable from the laptop.
Kind regards,
Gert Willemsens
