Cannot connect to Oracle error SID given in connect descriptor could not be
Hi,
I am trying to connect to another oracle server apart from the one contained in my tnsnames.ora file, and after inputting the servername etc, I keep getting the following errors back.
SID given in connect descriptor could not be resolved.
Here is what the tnsnames.ora file looks like from the solaris server.
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: /home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db
_1/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = mrm-dbserv)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
)
)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
)
)
