Use program "oerr", usualy located in your ORACLE_PATH, to find explanations of oracle error messages on-line.

For your particular error the output from oerr is:

$oerr ora 12203
12203, 00000, "TNS:unable to connect to destination"

// *Cause: Invalid TNS address supplied or destination is not listening.
// This error can also occur because of underlying network transport
// problems.
// *Action: Verify that the service name you entered on the command line
// was correct. Ensure that the listener is running at the remote node

and
// that the ADDRESS parameters specified in TNSNAMES.ORA are correct. // Finally, check that all Interchanges needed to make the connection are
// up and running.

Regards,
