Hi Andreas,
The error code has the following text :
2505, 00000, "TNS:listener could not resolve SID given in connect
descriptor"
/ *Cause: The SID in the CONNECT_DATA was not found in the listener's
tables.
/ *Action: Check to make sure that the SID specified is correct.
/ The SIDs that are currently registered with the listener can be obtained
by
/ typing "LSNRCTL SERVICES <listener name>". These SIDs correspond to
SID_NAMEs
/ in TNSNAMES.ORA, or db_names in INIT.ORA. / *Comment: This error will be returned if the database instance has not / registered with the listener; the instance may need to be started.
This suggest that you have not configured the Networ listener for your database correctly.
