ora-12505 listener does not currently know of SID given

edited Oct 15, 2015 6:08PM in Database Administration (MOSC) 6 commentsAnswered

We are using EBS version 12.2.4 and database version 11.2.0.4

I am trying to connect to the EBS db using sql developer and when I given login credential, I get the ora-12505 error. Listener refused the connection with the following error: listener does not currently know of SID given.

I have check that the db is up because we can login to the application side and thus the listener is up.

I have also tried to tnsping the db name and it is returning the results successfully with no error.

However, when I try to login through sql plus from my PC or sql developer, it is giving this error. Not sure what could be some other reason? Gurus, please advise. Thank you very much.

Howdy, Stranger!
