Hi Community,

 

Just installed Appeon PB2017. 

export the DB profile from current PB12.5 and import to Appeon PB2017. ( on the same machine )

Encounter the ORA-12154: TNS: Could not resolve the connect identifier specified.

i have no problems connect from the PB12.5 ( classic ) but face the problems from PB2017.

 

What could i have missed !

Hi,

 

It may cause by a bug of Oracle, Oracle doesn’t support the application contains parentheses in the installation path which connect to the Oracle database.

Please upgrade Oracle client or install PB on another path to solve this issue.

I have seen the same error.

The solution was to set the following line in sqlnet.ora file:

#previously set to: (NTS) but gives an error, so now:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NONE)

 

The file is located (in my case) here:

D:\app\miguel\product\11.2.0\client_3\network\admin

 

Another solution might be to set the TNS_ADMIN variable to where your tnsnames.ora file is located (and sqlnet.ora):

  1. Create a new environmental variable called TNS_ADMIN and set the value to "C:\xxx\product\xxx\client_x\Network\Admin"
  2. Restart machine

the problem is the oracle  installation from  C:\Program Files (x86)  with 

parenthesis

We always install our Oracle clients onto the C drive directly, when possible.

C:\oracle\product\11.2\client_1\.......

I got the sam issue, too. 

pb 2017 R3 LTS 1880 install on windows 64bit and use oracle instant client 10.2.1. 

I can use Oracle instant client to connect to my database successfully.

Hi Chee Boon;

  Please re-check all the DB Profile settings in PB 2017 against PB 12..5.x's to make sure all the connection information was transposed OK.

Also, are you running PB 12.5 or PB 2017 in ADMIN mode?

Regards ... Chris
