Forms 11g & Database Connection [message #455914]

I have just installed Oracle Forms 11g with the Weblogic web server.

I have a local installed database, and access to our network databases also.

I can do a TNSPING and get valid results back from that.
I can connect with SQLPlus, and SQLDevloper.

However, I cannot connect with the Forms 11g Forms Builder.

Does anyone know where to copy the TNSNAMES.ORA file for use with
Forms 11g?

I have found a solution.

I had to copy the TNSNAMES.ORA file to this location:
C:\oracle\fmw11g\dev11ginst_2\config

I was looking for a "network/admin" folder.

I stumbled onto this folder location because I did a search
for the TNSNAMES.ORA file, and it found an example
of one at the location mentioned above.

I am now able to connect to the database.

I suggest you make use of the TNS_ADMIN registry setting so that you don't have to maintain multiple tnsnames files.

Hey CM, great suggestion.

Now I no longer have to synchronize multiple copies of the tnsnames.ora file!

Thanks alot for that suggestion!

I have the same problem too
when i connect using tnsping or sqlplus
using username: SYS/SYS@192.115.1.4:1521/orcl as sysdba it connected with no problems
but when i connect from forms builder 11g it
ORA-12514:TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor

where my database is in another server ana tnsnames are the same at my laptop and server and sqlnet also
and when i used lsnrctl services i found the service

so what is the problem that makes forms builder not connected to my database
