I'm using an application called Integration Manager that used a data source based on the Microsoft ODBC for Oracle driver. Up until we moved the server (running Oracle 7.3) from New Jersey to New York, it was working fine. Now, although I updated the IP address in TNSNAMES.ORA, I get the following error message from the Microsoft ODBC driver:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
Applications using Oracle's ODBC drive work OK. Any help getting the driver to see the server in its new location would be appreciated.

ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
*Cause: A connection to a database or other service was requested using
a connect identifier, and the connect identifier specified could not
be resolved into a connect descriptor using one of the naming methods
configured. For example, if the type of connect identifier used was a
net service name then the net service name could not be found in a
naming method repository, or the repository could not be
located or reached.
*Action:
- If you are using local naming (TNSNAMES.ORA file):
- Make sure that "TNSNAMES" is listed as one of the values of the
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
(SQLNET.ORA)
- Verify that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper
directory and is accessible.
- Check that the net service name used as the connect identifier
exists in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
- Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the TNSNAMES.ORA
file. Look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Errors
in a TNSNAMES.ORA file may make it unusable.
- If you are using directory naming:
- Verify that "LDAP" is listed as one of the values of the
NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
(SQLNET.ORA).
- Verify that the LDAP directory server is up and that it is
accessible.
- Verify that the net service name or database name used as the
connect identifier is configured in the directory.
- Verify that the default context being used is correct by
specifying a fully qualified net service name or a full LDAP DN
as the connect identifier
- If you are using easy connect naming:
- Verify that "EZCONNECT" is listed as one of the values of the
NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile
(SQLNET.ORA).
- Make sure the host, port and service name specified
are correct.
- Try enclosing the connect identifier in quote marks.
See the Oracle Net Services Administrators Guide or the Oracle
operating system specific guide for more information on naming.
A solution may be to use the driver that works.
