Hi,
I'm bit confused with TNSNAMES.ORA file. i.e. When I was connecting my database from my client location(UK) with service name "utv015"(as it is in tnsnames.ora), it was working fine. But when I try to connect the same database with same service name and setting from India it is not connecting even within the same client network. However If I change the tnsnames.ora file to reflect the service name to "utv015, utv015.seml.xyz.net = ( blaa..bla...)"(only the service name not other information) and connect the database with service name "utv015.seml.xyz.net", it is responding. I am just wondering with what is happening here as this name is simply an alias.

What is the impact of this service name??

The difference is between listener.ora between the two sites.

Anyhow we are connecting the same server which is placed in UK regardless of whether I am connecting from India or UK. so why it is this difference?

I'm bit confused here. As I have only one server, eventually I should have only one listener.ora file in the server side(UK), right? How come this difference happen between the sites. Please explain me bit details. If I want to resolve it, what should I do?

I was juggling too many balls yesterday & gave an incorrect response.
The problem is that the sqlnet.ora files are different between the two systems where the client s/w (yet unnamed) is invoked.

Actually I did not change anything in sqlnet.ora file. I simply got rid of this file from ORACLE_HOME/network/admin folder.

Because I could see the content "NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN = emea.xyz.net" in sqlnet.ora file.
