Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> newbietrying to overcome ORA-12514 using Listener
I am trying to understand how to initialise and employ a listener on my
standalone
RH6.2 linux distribution. I want to initiated a shared server connection as
opposed
to a dedicated one.
If this is possible to achieve, am I correct in starting the listener
and issuing the command "sqlplus system/manager_at_oralin" (having previously
started the database).
Because on entering this, I receive the error "ORA-12514: TNS LISTENER could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in connect descriptor"
In the tnsnames.ora file "SERVICE_NAME=oralin.localhost.com" is present.
Is this correct ? Or should I be checking other things to ensure correctness.
Thanks in advance Received on Thu Jan 18 2001 - 16:11:36 CST
