Unable to connect to remote server / database via SQLPLUS.

ovlzFeb 17 2020 — edited Feb 17 2020

I have two servers:

server 1 is Oracle Linux Dell server with OEL 5.11

server 1 has a functional instance of Oracle EBS on it, apps + db (DB = 12.1.0.2 SID = TEST)

server 2 is an Oracle Database Appliance (X7-2M) that has a newly created db - 12.1.0.2, SID = GFT1

from a windows workstation I can connect to GFT1 as sys using TOAD

from server 2 I want to be able to connect to GFT1 using sqlplus

from server 2, TNS ping is successfull to GFT1

from server 2, "sqlplus sys/***MASKED***@GFT1" issued command generates error:

ERROR:

ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect

descriptor

What am I missing?

or

Anyone know of a good succinct doc or explanation of the steps to make one db accessible via sqlplus from a remote OEL server with same version DB?
