Supply a correct, working TNS that appears in your tnsnames.ora file, or add the one you are using to that file.

In order to solve any issue on the Oracle side, try to connect using Toad for SQL, SQL Navigator or any other software that allows you to connect to that database.

Once that you are sure that the Oracle client is properly set up, that the TNSNames is working fine so, reboot the server and try again (or at least, restart services) that will enable QV to work with Oracle.
