ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
 *Cause:  The listener received a request to establish a connection to a
 database or other service. The connect descriptor received by the listener
 specified a service name for a service (usually a database service)
 that either has not yet dynamically registered with the listener or has
 not been statically configured for the listener.  This may be a temporary
 condition such as after the listener has started, but before the database
 instance has registered with the listener.
 *Action:
  - Wait a moment and try to connect a second time.
  - Check which services are currently known by the listener by executing:
    lsnrctl services <listener name>
  - Check that the SERVICE_NAME parameter in the connect descriptor of the
    net service name used specifies a service known by the listener.
  - If an easy connect naming connect identifier was used, check that
    the service name specified is a service known by the listener.
  - Check for an event in the listener.log file.

Why? What is the rationale behind this? Or did you try to randomly change parameters till you find one that will "fix" the error?

thank u so much Michel for your co-operation
But i tried all that before but the same prob.
Really,I read this modification suggested from an expert as a solution
he assumed that thee problem is with the resources or something like that so he recommended to modify this parameter and
Processes parameter also
thank u in advance,
Sami

Since Networking is involved, the basic assumption is that two distinct systems are involved.

For System1 post hostname, IP#, Operating System name & version & Oracle s/w version to 4 decimal places.
For System2 post hostname, IP#, Operating System name & version & Oracle s/w version to 4 decimal places.
Clarify which hostname is associated with DB Server system & which hostname with SQL Client.

From DB Server post content of listener.ora & sqlnet.ora (if either exist)
From DB Server post results from following commands
lsnrtcl status
lsnrctl service
sqlplus scott/tiger

From SQL Client post content of tnsnames.ora & sqlnet.ora (if either exist)
From SQL Client post results from following commands
tnsping <valid_alias>
ping <DBhostname>
sqlplus scott/tiger@<valid_alias>

ORA-12514 ALWAYS only occurs due to a problem on DB Server system.
One cause of this problem is when the Oracle database is down & needs to be started.
A remote client send a request to the Listener asking to be connected to a specific service.
If/when the listener does not know anything about that service, the listener responds with ORA-12514
Since every connection request to the listener gets logged, listener.log file will contain a line with 12514 as status code.
This line contains valuable debugging details. So please post it & surrounding lines.
