| ERROR | Connect failed because target host or object does not exist |
| CAUSE | The address specified is not valid, or the program being connected to does not exist. |
| ACTION | Ensure the ADDRESS parameters have been entered correctly; the most likely incorrect parameter is the node name. Ensure that the executable for the server exists (perhaps oracle is missing.) If the protocol is TCP/IP, edit the TNSNAMES.ORA file to change the host name to a numeric IP address and try again. |
