You know it is correct how?

Why would Oracle lie to you?

Here are details about that error:

---

ORA-12162 ORA-12162TNS:service name is incorrectly specified

Cause:The connect descriptor corresponding to the service name in TNSNAMES.ORA is incorrectly specified.

Action:Make sure there are no syntax errors in the connect descriptor. Particularly look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Any error in the TNSNAMES.ORA file makes it unusable.
