Troubleshooting
Problem
When using a type 2 driver to access an Oracle database, in your resources.xml file for the data source, you define a URL to access Oracle which includes an alias to the database. The database alias is looked up in a file called TNSNAMES.ORA that resides in the ORACLE_HOME directory on each ORACLE client or database. If you do not point WebSphere to the correct ORACLE_HOME, it will give you a message that is represented in the title of this technote. This is not a WebSphere product defect but a configuration error.
