The install will have changed it to the home for 9iDS. Go to start -> programs -> Oracle installation products -> Home selector and set it back. You should also make sure you have TNS_ADMIN set in the registry so that everything looks for the same tnsnames regardless of the home setting. HTH, Beth -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, August 16, 2002 10:58 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I have a DB connection problem that I cannot resolve and need your help. Standalone Dell 8200 PC using XP Prof. with 61.6 GB of free space. A couple of days ago I installed my 9.2 DB successfully and was able to connect with SQL*Plus and TOAD. Then yesterday I installed 9iDS Rel. 2 which finished with no errors. Destination for DS is: Name: IDSHome Path: C:\IDSHome1 The 9.2 DB is located at C:\oracle\admin . . . \ora92 . . . \oradata Now I'm having a problem connecting the DB. I can connect via SQL*Plus but not TOAD. I tried connecting to the Forms Developer/Builder, Designer, and Reports Developer/Builder and get the same error message. ORA-12154:TNS: Could not resolve service name. Service name specified is not defined in TNSNAMES.ORA file. And when I go to Services for DS I get: OracleIDSHomeAgent - fails (will not run even with numerous start attempts) OracleIDSHomeClientCache - runs Both have startup type of manual. Attached is my TNSNAMES.ORA file. One thing I didn't do is reboot my PC prior to the start of this installation. I didn't think I needed to since this is the first installation for DS. Anyone have any idea what is wrong and how I go about correcting it? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
