The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Can't connect thru SQLPLUS at command prompt (ORA-12514 TNS Listener Error)

Asked by kencrest in Oracle CRM, Oracle 10.x

Tags: Oracle 10g

I'm having a problem connecting thru SQLPLUS at the command prompt on a Windows 2003 Server. See the following:

Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790]
(C) Copyright 1985-2003 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\install>sqlplus

SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production on Wed Jan 28 19:42:37 2009

Copyright (c) 1982, 2007, Oracle. All Rights Reserved.

Enter user-name: system@hcm2prod
Enter password:
ERROR:
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect
descriptor

I've changed the "HOST =..." in the LISTENER.ORA and the TNSNAMES.ORA files to the Machine Name, IP Address, and DNS Name of the Server all to no avail. Here is a copy of my TNSNAMES.ORA and LISTENER.ORA files below. I have not edited my HOSTS file in Windows...but should i really have to? Any help would be appreciated.

Thx
Ken
