Dhandapani,

Remember, tnsping only checks to see if it can reach the listener on the
machine.  So your tnsping says that a listener is running.  Tnsping does
*not* look and see if there ius any such database that you CDER entry is
pointing to.

Try this - make another entry in your ldap directory for a database does
not exist on the same server and tnsping that entry.  You will get the
same result.

Your sqlplus connection actually tried to make a database connection.
But the listener responded saying that there is no database with the
connect information you provided.

So the listener knows nothing about your database.  That is where you
need to look to fix this problem.

Tom
