今天使用SQL Developer连接一台测试服务器数据库（ORACLE 11g）时，遇到了“ORA-12514, TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor”错误，具体提示如下所示：
执行请求的操作时遇到错误:
Listener refused the connection with the following error:
ORA-12514, TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
供应商代码 12514
几年前写过一篇关于”ORA-12514: TNS: 监听程序当前无法识别连接描述符中请求的服务“的案例文章，现在看来当时写的比较肤浅和粗糙,当然案例也不一样，下面在总结一下如何处理ORA-12514这个错误吧。
Step 1： 首先检查客户端的tnsnames.ora里面的host、port、service_name等是否正确
myvm =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.20.57.15)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = SHARED)
(SERVICE_NAME = gsp.localdomain)
)
)
逐一仔细检查过后发现这些配置都是正确的。 其实前几天还是正常来的。测试服务器和tnsnames.ora都没有改动过。所以我们继续后面排查。
Step 2：检查确认数据库实例是否启动。
SQL> select status from v$instance;
STATUS
------------
OPEN
SQL>
如上所示，数据库实例正常，并没有关闭。当数据库实例异常关闭，也会出现ORA-12514错误，如下所示（如果我关闭一数据库实例，然后使用SQL*Plus测试连接数据库就会遇到这个错误）：

ERROR:
ORA-12514: TNS: 监听程序当前无法识别连接描述符中请求的服务
Step 3：检查网络是否正常，tnsping能否ping通
如下所示，ping 和tnsping 均都正常
监听服务也正常，没有问题

Step 4：检查$ORACLE_BASE/diag/tnslsnr/DB-Server/listener/alert下的日志，发现host_addr为10.20.34.76，实际IP地址不是这个。因为监听文件里面我使用的hostname DB-Server.localdomain，所以赶紧检查/etc/hosts的配置
[root@DB-Server ~]# ifconfig

[root@DB-Server ~]# more /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs

10.20.34.76 DB-Server.localdomain DB-Server

[root@DB-Server ~]#
果然发现/etc/hosts下配置为10.20.34.76， 具体原因是因为IT部门调换办公室，从三楼撤到二楼，将这台PC搬下来后，服务器IP地址变化了，修改/etc/hosts，然后重启监听服务，问题解决。
