Cause: The connection request could not be completed because the listener is not running.

– compare the TNSNAMES.ORA entry with the appropriate LISTENER.ORA file (or TNSNAV.ORA if the connection
is to go by way of an Interchange). Start the listener on the remote machine.

To solve this error, stop and start listener as follows.

)
)
