You say the database connection with sqlplus is OK. How did you test the connection? When you supplied the login did you use the @ method to specify a database? My preferred method is to set the TWO_TASK and ORACLE_SID environment variables so sqlplus just needs a login and password.
export TWO_TASK=(the name of the entry in your tnsnames.ora file) export ORACLE_SID=(the SID or Service Name of your Oracle instance) sqlplus aradmin/password Also make sure you are using the installer for patch 3 Fred -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Vincent Riedweg Sent: Wednesday, February 10, 2010 10:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: AR System 7.5 installation issue... ** Hi list, I am facing a strange installation issue. Let me to tell this story : * We are using AIX 5.3 with a remote Oracle 10.2.0.4 database. * The tnsnames.ora file is configured according to the SW00316551 workaround. * The database connection with sqlplus is OK. * All the prerequisites are verified and OK. * The database is a database that comes from an AR System 6.3. No AR System server installed on the server. * The AR System installer connects to the database correctly and proposes the upgrade option. * To upgrade the data dictionary from 6.3 to 7.5, the arupora utility is called by the installer. * I can find the following error in the arupora log file (arsql.log) ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified. * I have tried with or without setting the TWO_TASK and the result is the same. * There is no other error in all the log files except duplicates of this error in different log files. I have tried many configurations and the result is always the same. All idea is welcome...
