RE: Startup / shutdown using SQLPLUS

A 12154 is TNS could not resolve service name. This means that you have either entered the wrong connect description, or you do not have the right entry in your tnsnames.ora file. Now I am a little confused with this, as you HAVE managed to connect to shut the database down, but can no longer connect to start it up again?

First of all I would check the tnsnames files on both your PC, and the server you are trying to connect to - check the service name is valid. If nothing jumps out at you, you could then post it to the list, as even missing a parenthesis could cause this problem..

Hi:

I am trying to startup and shutdown a remote database on NT using SQLPLUS. I can shutdown alright but while attempting to startup I get ORA-12154. I am connecting as internal .
What am I doing wrong?

Manas.
