Hello


You said:
  • 1) i am getting the following message when i try to connect to the database on remote server
  • 2) it was working fine till we move our office location
  • 3) if i remotely login to the server then i am able to connect. i am on windows platform
  • 4) if i connect to the local database of my PC there is no issue


And I say:

Based on your information [3]... remotely you connect onto the server using same "remote desktop s/w" and as being in front of the server you can connect onto the database;

My questions:
a) From your new remote office location... do you have tunnel (like vpn) connecting your location to the server location?
b) Do you connect from your PC onto the remote database server without any encryption?

Basically I understand that this problem may rise due tcp/ip blocking (some firewall configuration... @server location validating source ip for instance).

Based on answers of questions (a) and (b) you can check which tcp ports at server location should be opened to complete your desired database tnslistener connection.

Another test that you can do is:
C:\> tnsping <server_sid>

from your PC.

sorry to open new thread for same topic.

for your questions

a) no we are not using VPN it is dedicated fibre link.
b) encription i am not aware of

BTW i have sorted this issue my appending domain name to host in tnsnames.ora. but still geting these errors when i run the crystal reports from crystal management server. here again if i run the same report from PC no issue but if i run the report from management server this problem occurs. earlier everything was ok

Hello miraijaz,

This looks like a networking issue because you said you have moved your office, and maybe some network configuration may have changed.

The basic items you should check are:
1) Your DB server: You should be able to "ping" this DB server;
ping <mydbserver.mydomain.com>
ping <mydbserver_ip>
In either commands above.. you should be able to contact your DB server (I assume that you DB server replies to ping command. Check if firewall is not blocking ping replies.)
2) Once "ping" is fine... then you have path to your DB server in terms of networking view;
3) Once you have networking path to your DB server... create or configure oracle client service name using/issuing "netca" command from your DOS Prompt screen;
4) Once you have configured service name using "netca"... issue a TNSPING command to the service name you have just created;
tnsping <your_service_name>
You should receive a response like:
Usado o adaptador TNSNAMES para resolver o apelido
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.1)
(PORT = 1521))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = casa3b)))
OK (180 ms)
(THIS IS MY CASE... and notice about "OK (180ms)" in my example. It means DB connectivity OK.).

Follow the numbered steps above for your case.
Regards,
