Infect, Oracle Application Server generated the error "Terminated with error: REP-501: Unable to connect to the specified http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_rep_501_unable_to_connect.htm database." after the two days weekly off of my company.

On Sunday/ Saturday, I have to Restart the Oracle Application Server to ignore this error. In my point of view, Report Server http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/164113/ Shutdown due to long idle time. Would you please guide me how I can ignore this error after weekly days off?.

Yes there are multiple oracle homes. Yes multiple TNS Files present. What is TNSAdmin Parameter? Database is up bcoz, I am running queries in toad. jagadekara, Sep 22, 2014 #3 DTSIGuy Forum Advisor Messages: 402 Likes Received: 58 Trophy Points: 410 Location: Texas Re: REP-0501: Unable to connect to the specified database ORA-12154: TNS: could not r Well...I suspect that since there are multiple Oracle Homes and have multiple TNS files the TNS entry for the database is not in the TNS file that Oracle Reports is looking at. If you're in Windows, the TNSAdmin parameter is a system environment variable directing ALL of the Homes to look HERE for the TNS file...it simplifies things.
