ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name
Cause: The service name specified is not defined correctly in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
Action: Make the following checks and correct the error:
- Verify that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper place and accessible. See the operating system specific manual for details on the required name and location.
- Check to see that the service name exists in one of the TNSNAMES.ORA files and add it if necessary.
- Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the file. Particularly look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Any error in a TNSNAMES.ORA file makes it unusable. See Chapter 4 in the SQL*Net V2 Administrator's Guide. If possible, regenerate the configuration files using the Oracle Network Manager
Did you get that in Metalink? I have found at least a dozen of "BAD" problem solutions in Metalink :-)
