Thanks for the info John. Agreed that it is probably an issue with the connect string. More details on the environment
The oracle RAC environment is 64bit 11gR2 running on windows server 2003. The client is currently a 32 bit 10.2 oracle client running on a different 64 bit windows server 2003 box. There is no TNSNAMES.ORA file on this box. Also, from this box, I can connect to a standalone 64 bit 11gR1 oracle server running on another box. Host environment XYZ-3 - 64bit windows 2003 server client box running 32 bit 10.2 oracle client and activestate perl with DBI 1.609 and DBD-Oracle 1.21 XYZ-1 - 64bit windows 2003 server running 64bit standalone 11gR1 oracle (host alias dbserver) XYZ-2 & XYZ-10 64bit windows 2003 servers running 64bit 11gR2 oracle RAC (host alias edc-dbserver) Can connect with perl to XYZ-1 (dbserver) box Error trying to connect with perl to XYZ-2 & XYZ-10 (edc-dbserver) box E.
