Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-01019

Question

I have a question related to oracle  I have a machine which earlier had Oracle client installed on it  I was able to connect to my oracle server using the client   Now I recently installed oracle 11g DB on the same machine  Now I have one client and Oracle 11g DB installed  But some how I am not able to connect to oracle servers anymore  This seems a bit problem because I am getting two oracle homes and stuff in path and registry entry   The error that I am getting while connecting is   Microsoft  ODBC driver for Oracle  Oracle Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-01019  Note  I had a similar problem once but once I uninstalled the oracle DB server and removed the ORACLE HOME entries things started working fine   Could you please help me fix this problem  Do let me know if you need more information

Correct the ORACLE HOME path    There could be two oracle clients in the system   I had the same issue  the reason being my ORACLE HOME was pointed to the oracle installation which was not having the tns ora file   Changing the ORACLE HOME to the Oracle directory which is having the tns ora solved it   tns ora lies in client2 network admin

Well   Just worked it out  While having both installations we have two ORACLE HOME directories and both have SQAORA32 dll files  While looking up for ORACLE HOMe my app was getting confused  I just removed the Client oracle home entry as oracle client is by default present in oracle DB Now its working   Thanks

I have the same issue  My solution was delete one of the oracle path in environment variable  I also changed the inventory xml and point to the oracle home version which is in my environment path variable
