Check the value of service_names:

   SQL> show parameter service_names

Then make sure your tnsnames.ora uses SERVICE_NAME (not SID) within
CONNECT_DATA and the value of SERVICE_NAME matches the value returned by
the above query (normally db_name.db_domain)
 
   CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=db_name.db_domain))
