    No, you are not going to recreate the control file.
    Hold on for a while I will give you the work-around.

    thanks and regards
    considering you're not going to touch global_names.
    I will give you a work around just to simplify my view and to work things out.

    omit the value of default_domain in SQLNET.ORA in both servers, or might as well rename SQLNET.ORA to SQLNET.BAK
    edit the tnsnames of both servers(please post which server did you create your dblink).
    1st server: tnsnames.ora(also include tnsnames of 2nd server)
    PDSOURCE =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = TCS031301)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SID= PDSOURCE)
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    )
    )

    2nd server: tnsnames.ora tnsnames.ora(also include tnsnames of 1nd server)
    UII =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 172.18.34.133)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SID = UII)
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    )
    )

    Then recreate your db link like(assuming you are creating db link from 2nd server):
    create database link YOURDBLINK_UII
    connect to strmadmin
    identified by strmadminpd
    using PDSOURCE

    removing the sqlnet.ora default_domain value, i am not being able to login
    C:\>sqlplus strmadmin/strmadminpd@pdsource

    SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production on Wed Sep 22 13:38:04 2004

    ERROR:
    ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name


    moreover, the box having the uii db has other dbs also which are in use by the team - so it wont be prudent to tamper with that.

    thanks and regards.

    that's because you didn't change the tnsnames entry from
    PDSOURCE.TCSKOLKATA.CO.IN to PDSOURCE.

    "moreover, the box having the uii db has other dbs also which are in use by the team - so it wont be prudent to tamper with that."

    your client connection to your server is different with your server/server connection. As long as the listener is up and the tnsnames, sqlnet in client is well configured, then it should just be fine.

    Anyway, if you decide not to touch your tnsnames, sqlnet in your server try creating the db link like this(assuming you are creating your db in UI.WORLD):
    create database link YOURDBLINK_UII
    connect to strmadmin
    identified by strmadminpd
    using PDSOURCE.TCSKOLKATA.CO.IN

    Instead of strugling further follow the steps.

    1.Alter database rename global_names to xxx
    on both the servers.
    2.create database link abcd.xxx connect to user_name identified by password using
    '(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = your host )(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = database_sid)
    )
    )';

    guys, sorry to say .. but now i am thoroughly confused - i have done something for which the link seems to work .. i am pasting what i had done -
    i checked the sqlnet.ora of the other server and saw that default_domnin = tcskolkata.co.in
    so i let the default_domain in my box to be tcskolkata.co.in

    then as per reydp's suggestion .. i changed the tnsnames connect-desc riptor to pdsource.world

    then according to akhadar i changed the global_name of both the databases to pdsource (but here the domain that got appended was different)

    then i recreated the database link - which seemed to work fine.
    this i executed from strmadmin@pdsource.world

    SQL> select * from uii.ar_classes@pdsource_uii;

    BUT INTERESTINGLY IN THE OEM THE DATABASE LINK STILL TELLS ME NOT ACTIVE.

    hey guys, can u give me a good info regarding these things -
    when i am creating a link between 2 databases how does global_name, global_names, domain come into the picture and play a part

    thanks and regards

    )';
    It was really my bad akhadar,
    Though I mention earlier that without touching global_names, the preceeding post that i have made is for prasen999 to understand what is the usual oracle behaviour for db link creation when global_names is not used.

    prasen999,
    You are close, it will also help you if you just read documents for proper and easier understanding.
