Solving error ORA-12545
I have created a new database to use solely for Recovery Manager. I created the rman user, set default tablespace and granted roles and privileges to user rman. I created catalog. But when I tried to connect target database db01 or db02 or db03 I get the error message below.

The ORA-12545 error message is your problem. When connecting to the target database, you specify "internal/[email protected]". The ADDRESS value in your TNSNAMES.ORA file for the "db03" alias is incorrect. Make sure that it specifies the proper protocol, host and port for this alias.
