Re: Post installation problem on oracle 8.15 in solaris 2.6

Hi All,

We had finally resolved the problem !

What we finally decided to do is to copy and paste the parameter from the server tnsnames.ora to the client tnsnames.ora.

It works like a charm after that !

Thank you in helping me to get our first sun box to work. (like a new born baby!)

You take care for now and May the Force Be with you !
