Hi

I Installed Oracle forms 10g after which I Installed Oracle Database Express Edition.

I have added the following entry in tnsnames

XEXDB=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=127.0.0.1)(PORT=8080))
(CONNECT_DATA=
(SERVICE_NAME=XEXDB)
)
)
When I am trying to connect Forms with the Database am getting the below error:ORA - 12537: TNS connection closed

I have tried a number of ways.I searched the forum but I am unable to find any solution.
I need to make any changes to sqlnet.ora

Which TNSNAMES.ORA (where is it located)? Where did you take it from?

Your tnsnames.ora entry specifies port 8080, that is an unusual port to use for a database listener. Are you sure it is correct? You might want to try port 1521 instead.

But you can be quite sure that it is wrong (obviously, as you can't connect).

Perhaps you could (should) create the TNS_ADMIN environment variable which will point to a single copy of the TNSNAMES.ORA file (which, in your case, should be the one created during database installation (NOT Developer Suite one!)). Check this message for more information.

Once you properly set it, try again.

Do you have multiple tnsnames.ora files?

Yes for forms and reports I have a separate home.

Already i set the following entry in the tnsnames.ora for reports and forms

XE=
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = acer-8ff47bfe9a)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)
)
)


Thanks for the quick response.

Use the TNS_ADMIN environment variable to point to a single tnsnames.ora (the one sqlplus is currently using). Search this site for details of how to set it.
