ORA-12514 TNS:listener does not currently know of

问题:

I know that this is a pretty popular problem, and I had run into it several times before but were able to resolve it but not this time.

I had made sure that I'm using the correct service name by running

SQL> select value from v$parameter where name='service_names';

VALUE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
XE

My tnsnames.ora has the XE service name:

XE =
   (DESCRIPTION =
     (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
     (CONNECT_DATA =
       (SERVER = DEDICATED)
       (SERVICE_NAME = XE)
     )
   )

When I start the listener, it appear to recognize the service: [root@aa-axm admin]# lsnrctl start

ERROR:
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor

What am I missing? TIA

回答1:

I had it finally resolved by doing

alter system set local_listener='XE' scope=both;
alter system register;

thanks to Alex Poole for setting me on the right path.
