I've asked for the out put on a lsnrctl status already, but haven't heard
back from him as yet..

The "." does look strange.. Also, what would the impact be to have the
GLOBAL_DBNAME set to the same value for all three instances? Would it not be
better to set it to the same name as the instance name for each?

The same goes for port too.. I thought that all three on the same port would
be OK?

Cheers

Mark

Mark,

The       (GLOBAL_DBNAME= l1000.)
entry looks strange.  Should there be a '.' in there?  I've never seen this
entry in this file.  What does :  lsnrctl status  & lsnrctl services  show?

Hi All,

I'm helping out a friend of mine who's having problems with connecting from
an NT system to an HP system running Oracle 8.0.5 (don't ask!).

They keep getting an "12154 - Could not resolve service name" error.. The
TNSNAMES.ORA file looks OK, and I feel there is something iffy about their
listener set up. Here's there set-up:

TNSNAMES.ORA:

extproc_connection_data =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = LIVE))
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = extproc))
  )

LIVE =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host= l1000)(Port= 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = LIVE))
  )
TEST =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host= l1000)(Port= 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = TEST))
  )
ARCHIVE =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host= l1000)(Port= 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ARCHIVE))
  )

LISTENER>ORA:

LISTENER =
  (ADDRESS_LIST =
        (ADDRESS= (PROTOCOL= IPC)(KEY= FROUDE))
        (ADDRESS= (PROTOCOL= IPC)(KEY= PNPKEY))
        (ADDRESS= (PROTOCOL= TCP)(Host= l1000)(Port= 1521))
  )
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME= l1000.)
      (ORACLE_HOME= /usr/oracle/product/8.0.5)
      (SID_NAME = LIVE)
    )
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME= l1000.)
      (ORACLE_HOME= /usr/oracle/product/8.0.5)
      (SID_NAME = TEST)
    )
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME= l1000.)
      (ORACLE_HOME= /usr/oracle/product/8.0.5)
      (SID_NAME = ARCHIVE)
    )
    (SID_DESC =
      (SID_NAME = extproc)
      (ORACLE_HOME = /usr/oracle/product/8.0.5)
      (PROGRAM = extproc)
    )
  )
STARTUP_WAIT_TIME_LISTENER = 0
CONNECT_TIMEOUT_LISTENER = 10
TRACE_LEVEL_LISTENER = OFF

When he tries to connect "user/[EMAIL PROTECTED]" the connection fails - and the
same for TEST and ARCHIVE. The thing that sticks out to me is the
GLOBAL_DBNAME parameter being set to "l1000" for every instance - do you
think this could be causing the problem?

Is there anything else that catches your eye?

Cheers!

Mark
