You indicate this is a 3rd party product. Their documentation or user asssitance should spell out the details.

Some things that come to mind:
- you are providing a normal user authentication and they use SYSxyz (or vice versa)
- they use TNSNAMES.ora and their local copy has not been updated or is wrong
- there is a mismatch between what they send and what you get from 'lsnrctl status'

The list can go on endlessly,but these are some of the more common points I've run across

Ok, I have a monitoring product that I am trying to connect to an oracle instance. In test it works great.

The monitoring product needs the server-name, the instance-name and port with a userid/password.

In production, we use HP Serviceguard for HA/failover capabilities. So there is a hierarchy of service name for both servers and service name for each server.

So:

proddb.company.org is the hierarchy name,

proddb01.company.org

proddb02.company.org (currently the primary server)

When I put in server-name(either proddb or proddb02) , instance-name, port and userid/password, it doesn’t fail the monitor verification

but I get an error saying that it is an invalid userid/password.

I tested the userid and password right on the server and it works fine.

I tried it in several different combinations and sometimes it fails verification right away saying ORA-12154:TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified So I get that part knowing some combinations are definitely wrong. But what is confusing is when it passes verification but can’t connect. And again, I have tested the userid and password, so it’s not that.

Any ideas?
