tnsnames and remote server

edited Aug 3, 2009 10:29AM in Database Networking (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered
I am trying to connect to a remote server.  I used Oracle Net Manager to create the following TNSNAMES entry.

EXAMPLE =  (DESCRIPTION =    (ADDRESS_LIST =      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host_example.domain)(PORT = 1521))  )    (CONNECT_DATA =      (SERVICE_NAME = example.domain)    )  )

I am trying to connect sqlplus to this remote instance.  Since I have a new 11g instance of example2 running on this server, I set the net service name to “example” which is different than that used on the remote server.  I tested the link in Oracle Net Manager and it passed.   Ping host_example.domain is successful.  Tnsping EXAMPLE is successful.

Howdy, Stranger!
