5.5.3 tsnames.ora File the file ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora must point to the listener (i.e., the TCP/IP port) on the database server. (ORACLE_HOME is the directory on Unix where Oracle is installed.) For example, ora_db0_net= (DESCRIPTION= (ADDRESS= (PROTOCOL=TCP) (HOST=test-console.think.com) (PORT=1521) ) (CONNECT_DATA= (SID=ORCL) ) ) Note: Do not use tabs in the file tnsnames.ora. *OracleDump is performed by (SID=ORCL)* Keep us apprised to your progress...
