Re: ORA-12154: TNS: Could not resolve service name

Hi:
Check if you listener.ora has included the SID you especified in tnsnames.ora. Say:
...
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =

      (GLOBAL_DBNAME = sidida.world)
      (SID_NAME = SIDID)
      (ORACLE_HOME = /oracle/app/oracle/product/7.3.2)
      (PRESPAWN_MAX = 10)

where SID_NAME has to be the same to

(CONNECT_DATA =
      (SID = SIDIP) in the tnsnames.ora.
If all this is right, try connect username/password_at_bpm

I hope it be helpful.
Bye

Federico
