titleOracle PDB containers
For Oracle 12c and above, you should use a '/' instead of ':' before [SID], so that [SID] is treated as a SERVICE name rather than an SID. This is due to Oracle 12c introducing pluggable databases (PDB's).
There is also the option to add the line 'USE_SID_AS_SERVICE_listener=on' to the tnsnames.ora Oracle configuration file in order to treat SID's as service names by default. This is provided by Oracle as a workaround for users who have hard-coded connection strings that are difficult to change by hand, and so should not be necessary for phixflow configuration.
For more information, please see the following Oracle documentation links:
