I was wondering if you could help me debug a problem. I have the following tnsnames on an app server. And when the primary listener is down it does not attempt to connect to the second address.

was.world=
  (description =
(load_balance=off)
(failover=on)

      (address=(protocol=tcp)(port=1521)(host=tpdapp2))
      (address=(protocol=tcp)(port=1521)(host=tpdweb2))

(connect_data=(service_name=was.world))
  )

Doing a tnsping from an appserver reports:

Attempting to contact (address=(protocol=tcp)(port=1521)(host=tpdapp2)) TNS-12541: TNS:no listener

But yet from that same appserver I can connect to the database on the second server by fully qualifying the connect string:

(tpdapp1)# sqlplus
ejsadmin/ejsadmin@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=tpdweb2)(PORT=15 21))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=WAS.world)))
