I wrote about SID there. (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=DB01)) is undocumented since Oracle 11gR1 and breaks things with multi-tenant / single-tenant. You create a container CDB01 and a pluggable DB01, you can connect with sqlplus “scott/tiger@ (description=(address= (host=srv01)(port=1521)(protocol=tcp)) (connect_data=(service_name=DB01.example.com)))” But one of your application has hardcoded SID=DB01 sqlplus “scott/tiger@ (description=(address= (host=srv01)(port=1521)(protocol=tcp)) (connect_data=(sid=DB01)))” ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know […]
