The Database Link is not active

 Hi,  

Two database links were imported into a schema.  I tested one of the dblink by describing one of the remote table (i.e. desc <schema>.<table>@&lt;dblink>) successfully.  But, when I test the same dblink from the EM Console by pressing the test button, I got the following error:

The Database Link is not active.

ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found

Could someone explain why the error occurs?  By the way, both dblinks are valid objects.

I did a query on user_db_links and saw no passwords listed.  Are the passwords supposed to be encrypted?

Howdy, Stranger!
