Re: Accessing an NT server from Linux Client

CHuck

This is actually a TNS error, as you've picked up. If you look in the Error Messages manual under TNS, you'll see:

TNS-12514 TNS:listener could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in connect descriptor

     Cause: The SERVICE_NAME in the CONNECT_DATA was not found in the listener's tables.

     Action: Check to make sure that the SERVICE_NAME specified is correct.
