RE: Connecting 8.0 to 8.1

There is something wrong with your host address.. If I were you I would check the HOST value in your TNSNAMES.ora, and make sure the IP is correct. Then, change the HOST values in your LISTENER.ora to use the IP address as well instead of the host names.

Also, do you have the GLOBAL_NAMES parameter set to true in your initSID.ora file? If it's set to false, then you can loose the :

 (GLOBAL_DBNAME = ORANGE**.acn032hq**)

bit, and keep it like this:

 (GLOBAL_DBNAME = ORANGE) Try these out:

---tnsnames---

ORANGE.WORLD =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 123.456.798.101)(PORT = 1521))     (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ORANGE))
  )


---listener---

LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =

        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC))
      )

(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 123.456.798.101)(PORT = 1521)) )

    )
    (DESCRIPTION =
(PROTOCOL_STACK =
        (PRESENTATION = GIOP)
        (SESSION = RAW)
      )

(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 123.456.798.101)(PORT = 2481))
    )
  )

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = /opt/oracle/product/8.1.7)
(PROGRAM = extproc)

    )
    (SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = TEST)
(ORACLE_HOME = /opt/oracle/product/8.1.7)
(SID_NAME = TEST)

    )
    (SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = ORANGE)
(ORACLE_HOME = /opt/oracle/product/8.1.7)
(SID_NAME = ORANGE)

    )
  )

Forgive me if this is a RTFM question - I have not been able to find the right bit of the FM.

Can someone please tell me how to Net8 connect an 8.0 NT client to an 8.1 Linux server.

Everything was working fine until a second Oracle instance was installed on the server. I now get

ERROR:
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist

My tnsnames.ora looks like this...

ORANGE.WORLD =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 123.456.798.101)(PORT = 1521))     (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ORANGE))
  )

The server listener.ora looks like this

# LISTENER.ORA Network Configuration File: /opt/oracle/product/8.1.7/network/admin/listener.ora # Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =

        (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC))
      )

(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = abc123defghi)(PORT = 1521)) )

    )
    (DESCRIPTION =
(PROTOCOL_STACK =
        (PRESENTATION = GIOP)
        (SESSION = RAW)
      )

(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = abc123defghi)(PORT = 2481))
    )
  )

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = /opt/oracle/product/8.1.7)
(PROGRAM = extproc)

    )
    (SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = TEST.abc123de)
(ORACLE_HOME = /opt/oracle/product/8.1.7)
(SID_NAME = TEST)

    )
    (SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = ORANGE.acn032hq)
(ORACLE_HOME = /opt/oracle/product/8.1.7)
(SID_NAME = ORANGE)

    )
  )

I anonymised the data (obviously)

Many thanks to anyone who understands this stuff.

David Jones
