Hi Brian ,
U need to define the service name in your TNSNAMES.ORA file ...Or use
NET8 Easy Config define to define that ..
U can find the TNSNAMES.ORA under Oracle home ....It looks like the
following :
Service Name .WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = Server IP Address)(Port = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = Service Name ))
)
Substitute the values of Service Name , Server IP Address as required
Regards
