I am trying to create a database link from the 11g database to the 10g database using:
create database link ORCL10R2 connect to <username10g> identified by <password10g> using <db10g>;
It Returns
Database link created.

select sysdate from dual@ORCL10R2 returns error:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-12504: TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA

Please let me know what changes I need to make to tnsnames and listener at both servers.

11g error message:
ORA-12504: TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA
 *Cause:  The listener was not configured with a default service and
  SERVICE_NAME was missing from the CONNECT_DATA received by the listener.
 *Action: Possible solutions are:
  - Configure DEFAULT_SERVICE parameter in LISTENER.ORA with a valid service
    name. Reload the listener parameter file using reload [<listener_name>].
    This should be done by the LISTENER administrator.
  - If using a service name, Check that the connect descriptor corresponding
    to the service name in TNSNAMES.ORA has a SERVICE_NAME or SID component
    in the CONNECT_DATA.

10g error message:
ORA-12504: TNS:listener was not given the SID in CONNECT_DATA
 *Cause:  The SID was missing from the CONNECT_DATA.
 *Action: Check that the connect descriptor corresponding to the service
 name in TNSNAMES.ORA has an SID component in the CONNECT_DATA.

11g database: 10.1.1.10
10g database: 10.1.1.12

TNSNAMES.ORA

XYZ =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.1.1.10)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XYZ)
)
)

LISTENER.ORA

LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.1.1.10)(PORT = 1521))
)
)

what needs to be modified here?

I just changed the IP and service name as I am not allowed to post the real information. What you are not getting from this?

Hello. Welcome to the forum. Please read our OraFAQ Forum Guide and How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read

Before you change anything, do a couple of tests. From your 11g oracle home, test the TNS names resolution and prove that the connect string does actually work. Show the results. Like this:
c:\users\john\home>
c:\users\john\home>
c:\users\john\home>tnsping orcl

Used parameter files:
c:\app\john\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\network\admin\sqlnet.ora


Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = jwdell.bplc.co.za)(PORT = 1521)) (CO
_NAME = orcl)))
OK (20 msec)

c:\users\john\home>sqlplus system/oracle@orcl

Can you explain the solution? (It is customary to do that here after asking a question, in order to help others)

create public database link ORCL10R2 connect to <userid> identified by <pswd> using
'(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <destination IP>)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)

)
)'
