I've got RAC 11gR2 set up in the lab, and am running the scan listener. I've 
had a number of applications already connecting to the database without issue. 
And I've reviewed my listener and tnsnames.ora set up with Oracle tech support, 
and they've found it is properly configured.


However, all of the BMC applications trying to connect are having issue. 
Remedy, which uses a sqlplus client, and Bladelogic, which uses a JDBC driver 
both will only connect if they specify the instance name instead of the 
database name (i.e.  racdb1  instead of racdb.mydomain). They throw tns errors 
for everything else.

We know that the proper ports, etc. are open, because the BMC applications will 
connect to the database if we specify an instance name. So it's not an issue of 
network flow or firewalls, etc. And we've verified that these applications run 
with RAC.


Has anyone used BMC and experienced the same issues? know of the workarounds? 


Thanks in advance all!
