Action: Verify that the net service name you entered was correct.
Verify that the ADDRESS portion of the connect descriptor which corresponds to
the net service name is correct. Ensure that the destination process
(for example the listener) is running at the remote node.

 

 

To solve this error, check your the client version if it is compatible with your Database and Listener.
If they are incompatible, then add these two lines to the sqlnet.ora
