12154, 00000, "TNS:could not resolve service name"
// *Cause: The service name specified is not defined correctly in the
// TNSNAMES.ORA file.
// *Action: Make the following checks and correct the error:
// - Verify that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper
// place and accessible. See the operating system specific manual
// for details on the required name and location.
// - Check to see that the service name exists in one of the
// TNSNAMES.ORA files and add it if necessary.
// - Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the file.
// Particularly look for unmatched parentheses or stray
characters.
// Any error in a TNSNAMES.ORA file makes it unusable. See
// Chapter 4 in the SQL*Net V2 Administrator's Guide. If
// possible, regenerate the configuration files using the Oracle
// Network Manage
