How do i resolve this error: ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor

I'm trying to troubleshoot a Connection that I made in DBConnect app, it show the error as above. I don't know if the error was on my end and my input or the info I received.

Most of the answer I searched for was about JDBC but that was automate in DBConnect.

So what should I do in this situation? Is it on my end or should I contact the DB owner or the networking department in my org?

Hi
This means that you have something wrong on your connection definition. Probably you have some wrong character on your database name or something similar in DB Connect definitions.
