    Db Link Problem

    hi

    I have a problem with the connectivity. I have created a dblink to the production database by name livelink. I am able to connect to the production database using the host string but while trying to retrieve any data using the database link, I am prompted with the error :

    ORA-12535: TNSperation timed out

    We connect to the production database by passing thru the firewall.

    Can anyone help me out? This is most urgent.

    Thanx

    Das

    when u try to access a server which is in DMZ zone u need to have a permission to enter through the firewall.Check with your network people whether u have the access to enter from the workstation through which u are trying to connect.Simply by creating a database link will not solve the problem.

    see the test

    SQL> create database link test using 'intdb';

    Database link created.

    SQL> select count(*) from BBLTX160@test;

    COUNT(*)
    ----------
    479

    If u are able to connect to the remote server with username then check the global_names parameter on the remote server and make to 'False'.Now u should be able to use the database link from the workstation on which u have the authorization.
    So its not the problem with database link it is a problem with firewall permission.
