Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: connecting problems: "ORA-12154: Could not resolve servicenam
Mikael,
Do you have tnsnames.ora set up on your unix host? Any time you do '@' in your connect string it is connecting via a listener. That's why you can (most likely) connect by setting your ORACLE_SID in your environment on the local host and typing sqlplus system/manager and not sqlplus system/manager_at_SIDNAME.
Put the correct entry in your tnsnames.ora in the $TNS_ADMIN directory ($ORACLE_HOME/network/admin) and it should work.

Hi!
I have just installed Oracle8.06 on SUN/Solaris server. The installation of the database was successfull. But when I´m checking the connection with the listener with the command "sqlplus system/manager_at_mtipdb_tcp". I got the following error: "ORA-12154: Could not resolve servicename".
I have also tried to connect to the server from a NT-client and that works fine.
It seems to be some problem with the internal connection on the server. Maybe it is a parameter that is not set correctly?
Does anybody know what the problem can be?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards
Mikael
