Sounds like it is perhaps not defined correctly. Are you able to connect to other environments from the TNS file?

Sorry, I don't understand your question. 

The TNS file should be available on the Qlik server based on the Oracle client settings. Qlik only sees one TNS file, and it doesn't see anything on the database server directly.
