I installed 8.1.6 for linux, and am having trouble connecting over SQLNet. The Configuration Assistant is asking for the Service Name which it says is usually the Global Name. The Global Name on the instance somehow ended up being OINSTALL.US.ORACLE.COM.

When I use that, or what I think it should be on my network, I always get

Connecting...ORA-12514: TNS:listener could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in connect descriptor The test did not succeed.

Some of the information you provided may be incorrect. Press Back to review the information provided for net service name, or Change Login to change username.

Does it sound like the Global Name is the problem? If so, any idea how to change it?

Thanks for any help. Received on Sat Dec 23 2000 - 10:46:29 CST
