    Did you add an entry to the database ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora ?
    Try to tnsping the database you created the link to.

    Check that the link was created properly.

    select db_link, host from user_db_links.

    Hi,

    Here is how I troublleshoot a DBA Link problem: http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_troubleshooting_sql_net_connectivity_errors.htm

    1 Check with "ping" using the IP address ("ping 198.11.34.43"

    2 Check with "ping" using DNS name (e.g. "tnsping uranus")

    3 Check with "tnsping" using TNS service name

    4 Sign-on to SQL*Plus with a remote user ("connect fred/[email protected]_link"

    5 Within SQL*Plus, try a select from [email protected]_db_link


    Hope this answers your question . . .

    Can you verify that your firewall allows outbound connections destined for target database server on the port 1521 or
    what ever the port is defined in tnsnames.ora file

    The tns entry should be there in the tnsnames.ora of the server where source database is running. Many people think that the tns entry for a db link is required to be on the machine from where they are trying to connect which is not true.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,
    Ankit.

    Can you please stop spamming the group with links to errorkey.com. We can all find the error message using oerr on the server.

    Giving a link to the error message does not provide any useful information. I guess you earn money from the google adds on the site ?
