did you make sure there's a tns entry on the db server for the remote db being accessed by the link?

Hello List,

Have a problem,
Oracle 817
Win3K sp6
Trying to create a DB link between the production and the test dbs.

The db_link creates fine ( so it appears). However when you try to run a script to reference the other, I get

select count(*) from workorder_at_maxie

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02085: database link MAXIE connects to MAXTEST.TFMC.CO.ZA

I checked out the manual, but it seems as thou I have created the link correctly.
I also checked out metalink, which suggested changing the global_name with ALTER DATABASE RENAME global_name TO MAXTEST But this causes the following error:
ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found.

Has anyone got any ideas? Is this a bug?

TIA
Denham
