This problem is in tnsname.ora. You need to tnsping on database a and database b server.

e.g
1. In database server a -> tnsping database b
2. In database server b -> tnsping database a

If tnsping is worked then please check setting on database link in database (dba_db_links). Hope this is helping. Thank

You do not need database links if they are on the same server. Grant access to the tables you want to update, insert, select, or delete. Then reference them like SQL> select * from aschema.tablename. If you do not want to preface the tablename with the schema create a synonym.
