    TNS-03505: Failed to resolve name

    I am receiving the above error when performing a tnsping or sqlplus connect to a Database I have created on Oracle 817 on Windows 2000.

    Despite all efforts to amend the TNSNAMES file and SQLNET.ORA file LISTENER.ORA file I still receive this error. I have created database with a global name of LITTLE, SID = LITTLE.
    Services running on WIndows are:-
    Oracleora8iTNSListener
    OracleServiceLITTLE
    Oracleora8iAgent
    OracleWebAssistant


    LSNRCTL status shows the following:

    try use here SID keyword instead of SERVICE_NAME. If it works, then there is an issue of backward compatibility flag on one of conf. assistant tab (sorry, I don't remember more exactly where it is). It comes with default installation.

    Are you sure your host is dsd? if so try like below :

    LITTLE=
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = dsd)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = LITTLE)(SERVER = DEDICATED))
    )

    Also try commenting out the following line in sqlnet.ora :
    # NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, ONAMES)

    Did you install multiple oracle clients in your box?

    Make sure your init*.ora file located in directory
    %ORACLE_HOME%\admin\LITTLE\pfile\init*.ora
    has the following values:




    db_name = "LITTLE"

    db_domain = WORLD <--- this had better match the value
    <---- NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN in SQLNET.ORA

    instance_name = LITTLE

    service_names = LITTLE.WORLD <-- This should be db_name + db_domain
    <-- and this name MUST match the value
    <-- in your TNSNAMES.ORA file item
    <-- CONNECT_DATA->SERVICE_NAME. see
    <-- below

    LITTLE =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = YOURSERVERGOESHERE)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = LITTLE.WORLD)
    )
    )
