Agreed, _Oracle_ users BSIDBA and OPS$BSIDBA are not the same (spelled and pronounced differently :>) , even though the _UNIX_ user BSIDBA would run as OPS$BSIDBA.
Can you select count(*) from BSIDBA.FA_IDNT? If so, you could try creating a synonym FA_IDNT for BSIDBA.FA_IDNT.

I don't think BSIDBA and OPS$BSIDBA are the same Oracle user. (Check in dba_users). So ops$bsidba probably doesn't own the tables? (Maybe the install
went wrong because of the value of the initializaion parameter os_authent_prefix which I think could be null or could be ops$ or some other value) I'm not sure how you could run the program and make it log in as bsidba;
most probably you'll have to supply a username and pwd. Are there really new apps written in COBOL? :-)
