Problem with with exp...

Dear all,

I installed the Oracle Client 10.2.0.1.0 on a new machine with Windows
XP.

SQLPLUS and TNSPING are working fine; however, there there is a
problem with EXP:

I'm getting the error ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect
identifier specified

It use it like this:
exp user/pw at (no spam) db full=Y direct=y file=c:\db.dmp

The tnsnames.ora is okay (otherwise, sqlplus and tnsping would fail)
The help doesn't really help me.

Anyone has an idea about what could be the problem?

Thank you in advance!

Georg

First points on my checklist:

- check the Windows path for the execution environment,
- check how many tnsnames.ora files there actually are on the machine;
make sure exp uses the right one.

I can probably sum this up as: might there be (or have been) another
Oracle installation on the machine?

Ruud de Koter.

Perhaps exp is started from another Oracle home directory? Or another
tnsnames is somewhere? (may also in some other directories for example in
the user settings).

And perhaps the OP solved his own problem which is why the original
has been removed.

The responder can probably still see the original, as he isn't posting
through Google Groups.

for solving the riddle David dumped on my desk. Makes me feel even more

like a dinosaur, but at least I got Joel's company while waiting...
