ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied - Database Link
Hi Guys,
Could you help me, I have a problem connecting to another database using the database link:
*1. I added in tnsnanes.ora of "client" database DEV2*
DEV =
+(DESCRIPTION =+
+(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.100.85)(PORT = 1521))+
+(CONNECT_DATA =+
+(SID = DEVDB)+
+)+
+)+
*2. I tested my connection using tnsping*
oracle@dev> tnsping dev

*3. In SQLPLUS of DEV2 I connect to my database using the tnsnames entry*
SQL> conn devuser/pwd001@dev
Connected.

select * from global_name@dev_link
