You need to update the tnsnames.ora file on the db server.

Subject: db link


I'm creating a link:
 
  1  Create public database link "LIMS_TO_ERT" connect to "XXX"
  2  identified by "XXXXX"
  3  using 'PRODERT.ROSWELLPARK.ORG'
 
it tells me the link is created, yet when I try and access thru the link
I get:
 
SQL> desc rpci.ert_lims_iface@lims_to_ert;
ERROR:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
 
I have the PRODERT.ROSWELLPARK.ORG in my tnsnames and I can connect with
sqlplus to that db.  So what's wrong?  All we did was move the database
to a new server. 
 

ciao,

Brian
