Hamid,

I got stung with this just yesterday. Look closely at the TNSNAMES file. Check this example:

WTWT_DBDOL0A1ADVWTW =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Dbdol0a1advwtw)(PORT = 1521))     )
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = wtwt)(SERVER = DEDICATED))   )

WTWT_DBDOL0A1ADVWTW =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Dbdol0a1advwtw)(PORT = 1521))     )
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = wtwt)(SERVER = DEDICATED))   )

Look at the CONNECT_DATA line. Try changing the SERVICE_NAME to SID and try connecting again.

Hope this helps.

Hi list,
I asked this question this morning but no reply so I try again may be some chace.
I have created a new instance under 8.1.7 and test it yesterday was fine, but this morning I try to shutdown the database and do some change on it after complete shutdown when I try to open the database got ERROR ORA-12514 TNS LISTENER could not Resolve SERVICE-NAME given in connect Descriptor. I have checked every thing non of tnsnames.ora or sqlnet.ora changed even I try connect from the server but no chance, we have two oracle home at the moment 8.16 & 8.1.7 on Sun Solaris.
Any body have any idea what's going on??? Appreciate your help.
Thanks.
