Establish that SQL*Net connections can be created to connect the Forms Server and the Reports Server to all databases.
To do this, modify 10g_oracle_home\network\admin\tnsnames.ora. Ensure that it contains an entry for each database.
Consider maintaining a central copy of the application server's tnsnames.ora with all the system's tnsnames entries for all databases. Copy the file to all clients, Forms Servers, and Reports Servers. See Modify tnsnames.ora for more information.
If the system returns a connection error, you must resolve this problem before continuing. Possible causes of errors include:
The computer is not physically connected to the network.
One of the databases does not exist.
The network protocol software is not loaded on the computer (try a remote log-in to check).
The SQL*Net software is not loaded on the computer.
The database or SQL*Net listener process is not started on the server.
An incorrect connect string, user ID, or password was entered.
The application server's tnsnames.ora file is not present in the correct directory or does not contain the correct entries.
